Oliver, Nina, and Charles have officially adopted Zel as one of their own, transforming the dunce trio into a happy quartet! But the streets of District 23 are still rife with tension, leading to more conflicts between Primavera and the Chinese Golden Dragon. The same happy quartet starts an investigation to root out the underlying source of the unrest, but a close call triggers the return of Zel's lost memories...

A young woman's desperate flight from her would-be captors leads her directly into the path of Madam Rose--or, more accurately, Madam Rose's car. While the accident has delivered the girl from her pursers, the impact has left her with no memory of who she is. Now in the care of the Primavera family, "Rapunzel" has found a new home with the Wild Dogs, a trio of former street urchins in Wayne's employ. Bit by bit, "Zel" discovers more about her former self as she settles in with her new friends, even as relations between the Japanese and Chinese in District 23 become increasingly tense...

While the Wandering Dogs suffer a breakup at the reveal of Zel's true identity, District 23 is on the cusp of falling under the Golden Dragons' thumb. Primavera refuses to give in, staunchly standing off against the Chinese mafia, but they need all the help they can get. Will Oliver, Nina, and Charles be able to come together and help save Zel and Primavera, or will it be the end of District 23 as they know it?

For those I love, I'll pull this trigger. Alan and Keith have found reasons to keep fighting, even in a divided post-war Tokyo. Their work with Primavera's battalion has given them a place to call home and people who need them. But when a revenge-obsessed US garrison major arrives intent on disturbing the waters, will Alan, Keith, and the rest of Primavera be swept away by changing tides...?

After thwarting the underhanded mafia boss Alfred in his attempts to overtake Club Primavera, Rose seeks the protection of Captain Philip Butler of the American Garrison, who benevolently agrees...for a price. But this newfound security is jeopardized when Alfred recovers, and his explosive tactics threaten to turn Primavera--and all of District 23--into a battlefield!

When they lose their reason to fight, what is left? Relations between Primavera and the Chinese are quickly crumbling as Richard struggles with grief and guilt over the loss of precious Primavera members. Emotions run hot, especially with the US garrison major Gabriel stoking the fire. What will become of the American garrison, the Golden Dragons, and Primavera when the time for real change rushes in with the flames...?

Thank you, really... ...And I'm sorry. The battle between Club Primavera and the Caleb family--with the pride of the Japanese people at stake--finally barrels toward a conclusion. Which group will win the right to rule during the coming era...?!

After suffering unprecedented disasters in World War II, Japan accepts the American and Allied Forces' terms of unconditional surrender. Now the citizens of a ruined nation, the people of Japan come together amid an influx of influences and immigrants and--cunningly, carefully--survive... This is the unrecognizable Japan to which the sharpshooting, sweet-talking womanizer Leo Shishigami returns three years after the war. Against this backdrop, in the spring of 1947, everything is set into motion when Leo meets Rose Haibara, the madam of Club Primavera...

True salvation...there is no answer to that. With Alfred out of the picture, a new force emerges into the power vacuum--and Leo's new "friend," ex-serviceman Caleb, is at the center. Though the Caleb family's motives seem well-intentioned--providing welfare for repatriated Japanese soldiers--its "donation" practices include shaking down the whole town for exorbitant fees! And when this new threat arrives at Club Primavera's doorstep, a whole new conflict begins...
