Story
DSA (Danger Service Agency) - an organization operating in one of the cities of Japan that specializes (as the name implies), primarily in the provision of dangerous services - that is, events that are questionable in terms of legality. One day, the DSA receives an order to abduct a person from an unknown person who introduced himself as Emoto; only after the DSA fulfills the order with difficulty and risk to life, it turns out that the kidnapped one is Momokichi Momoi, the boss of one of the Yakuza clans. Momokichi dies during the abduction; Kurokawa and Harada, frightened by possible revenge for Momoi’s death, offer to get rid of the body and hide, but Mikura, whose plan under pressure from Emoto was forced to approve her partners, offers to blackmail the Momoi family, requiring Momomi Momoi ransom for her father.
Enraged by the abduction of Momomi's father, he personally kills the bodyguards who failed to protect him and announces the hunt for Mikura and her friends, in which she is assisted by 2 small scammers who once dealt with the DSA (having guessed the intention of the clients who intended to deceive the DSA, Mikura and her friends themselves turn spent them). The DSA base is crushed, Harada and Kurokawa miraculously avoid falling into the hands of Momomi, but Mikura, who came by invitation to visit Emoto, was captured by the people of Momoi. DSA offers Momomi new deal terms - Mikura’s life in exchange for Momokiti. Momomi agrees - not intending, however, to comply with the terms of the transaction, her goal is revenge (as a first step towards revenge, Momomi personally beats Mikura and later gives her - as a reward for betrayal - to reproach 2 scammers who have long-standing accounts with DSA).
The meeting at the Peach Bowl ends with bloodshed, during which it turns out that Mikura managed to escape from the detention of her partners with Momomi, leaving behind her copy of the android. Momomi’s people, who were instructed to kill DSA members, die at the hands of Hiroki, Momokichi’s assistant (who turns out to be Emoto’s mysterious customer), Momomi herself was killed in a shootout with Mikura. Having revealed his face and his plans, Hiroka intends to eliminate the DSA, not knowing that he was exposed at the first meeting. Hiroka dies in the explosion of a Kurokawa car (after the explosion, the body is abandoned on the field of a baseball stadium, where, as it turns out, DSA members buried Momokiti). Scammers chasing and betraying DSA members die under the rubble of a burning car falling on them.

She grew up without a father, was involved in vagrancy as a child until she met - after another arrest - with Kurokawa, who was then a police officer. Later, together with Kurokawa and Harada, she created the Danger Service Agency (an English - “Dangerous Services Agency”) - an organization that specializes primarily in events that are questionable from the point of view of legality.

- Seiyu - Takumi Yamazaki.

Daughter of Momokichi Momoi. Inherited from her father a tendency to violence (according to rumors, she killed the first person at the age of 10) and a love of bowling. According to another version, her love of violence appeared after she decided at a young age that the scarlet color of blood is the color of youth. It has a keen perception bordering on paranormal abilities - it is Momomi's visions that serve as the main source of allusions to Mikura’s kinship with the Momoi family.

- Seiyu - Norio Wakamoto.
Not mentioned by name. Momokichi Momoi's right hand. Has his views on the Momoi case; the anime plot begins at the moment when Hiroka, under the guise of a retired killer, hires a DSA - ostensibly in order to ensure a safe departure from Japan.
Notes
- ↑ In the anime, this remains at the level of hints. Only in the Mezzo DSA it becomes known for sure that the illegitimate child of Momokichi Momoi is Mikura Suzuki (Mikura’s childhood friend, Sakura Sakurada, who knew Momomi Momoi well).
