Burst Angel (also known as Bakuretsu Tenshi or Angel’s Adolescence) is an action-packed science fiction series set in a crime-ridden future Japan. The story follows Kyohei Tachibana, a peaceful culinary student with dreams of studying as a patissier in France. To save up for his tuition, Kyohei takes a part-time job as a private cook for a group of women: Sei, Meg, Jo, and Amy.
