No Place Like Home... A year has passed since Arata took the child soldiers under his wing - after discovering they were on the receiving end of his orders. In that time, he has toured numerous battlefields across Asia, while doing his best to provide for the kids under his care. Fed up with forcing them to continue to fight just to survive, Arata takes them to Japan in hopes that his peaceful homeland may provide a solution to the dilemma he faces.
The story yadda, yadda, yaddas through the interesting bits and doesn’t even mention the lobster bisque. Things take a strange turn for Arata and his new team, but it’s a lot less engaging than the Ender Wigginification of the first arc.
