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:
“One story recounts that a Tennessean, after a single day in the then almost impenetrable tangle of cypress, briars, and canebreaks, pestered by myriads of mosquitoes, and bogged in the heavy gumbo mud, declared: “Arkansas is not part of the world for which Jesus Christ died—I want none of it.””
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Even such is Time, which takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust,
Who in the dark and silent grave
When we have wandered all our ways
Shuts up the story of our days.
And from which earth, and grave, and dust,
The Lord shall raise me up I trust.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
“A good story is one that isn’t demanding, that proceeds from A to B, and above all doesn’t remind us of the bad times, the cardboard patches we used to wear in our shoes, the failed farms, the way people you love just up and die. It tells us instead that hard work and perseverance can overcome all obstacles; it tells lie after lie, and the happy ending is the happiest lie of all.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
