Story
In the near future, the Japanese National Police Agency covertly establishes an armed division called Minkei or Private Police in order to stem out rampant crimes that has firearms involved by heavily armed criminals and terrorists. Minkei's recruitment methods favour ability and as such are willing to take in anyone that displays the aptitude to handle the work.
Zero In follows the Light Knight B squad of Kou, Mikuru, Kina (deceased), Fujita, Hana and Shikie their cases and interactions. The story mainly focuses on the two main protagonists Kou and Mikuru, with various chapters giving more in depth focus on their partners. Mikuru's relationships both within and without Minkei are a prime story focus as is the roller coaster ride of her developing relationship with Kou, the way she handles her life in the two differing worlds of a high school idol and a Minkei officer, and her very physical rivalry with the older Shikie.
Kou receives considerable development, going from being the weak kid that's always bullied to a considerably popular and confident young man who still agonises over his crush of Mikuru and fear of rejection if he confesses. As well as trying to keep his professional life as a Minkei officer out of his personal life as a high school student.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The psychiatrist’s office: the only place I can be sure my story will be treated as sad, but interesting.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When a husband’s story is believed, he begins to suspect his wife.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
