Plot concept: At first glance, Arashi Mikami appears to be a normal, albeit socially awkward, 17 year old high school student. However, he’s actually part of a secret vigilante organization known as Black Label, a group dedicated to executing power-hungry criminals the law refuses to deal with. However, taking down a crime lord isn’t always an easy task, and there’s bound to be consequences for any action…

That is a DRASTIC switch from the previous image.
The first key visual was all business. This is…pleasure. I know they want to get the fan service in, but I thought this would be more about action. Now the guy is even more covered up as the ladies take it off. ::;SIGH::
I’ll just wait to see how it all shakes out.
