* BrownNote: The main threat of the Dynamis is the sound wave they're able to emit that's capable of affecting a human's mental state. Koga describes the sound as feeling like "a filthy hand is rummaging through your mind and soul," and hearing it has driven many people to madness. A document in Episode 4 mentions that effects of the sound include hallucinations, paranoia, suicidal ideation, and violent tendancies.

In a future where still-functional relics of a high-tech war wander the streets of otherwise peaceful Japan, eager rookie Koga joins the SHWD, a grizzled group of office workers-meet-special forces. Under the tutelage of the grumpy but caring Sawada, Koga gets prepped for her first mission out on the field - but is she ready for the horrors that await?

!! This work provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Sawada, Koga, and Leone all count.
* AmazonianBeauty: Koga's absurdly strong physique is drawn attention to several times, particularly in her introduction, in which her thick arms are given as much attention as her generous bust.
** Sawada may be a lot slimmer and shorter than Koga and Leone, but she's still quite muscular in her own right. The manga even opens on a scene of her working out in a sports bra, with lots of attention paid to her toned arms.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: So far ''every'' major character has a deeply troubled past thanks to the Dynamis.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Sawada refuses to arm herself during battle, nor will she team with anyone who uses guns.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Koga shows up in a kimono at the end of Chapter 1, and even Sawada complements her on it.
* WorkoutFanservice: The very first page of the manga is a scene of Sawada doing push-ups in a sports bra, with lots of focus given to her sweaty, toned arms.
** The side-story "[[https://www.lilykamanga.com/online-store/SHWD-ep-4-p158785350 Sports Day Edition]]" is basically just 24 pages of this, with Koga and Sawada competing against each other in various activities like tennis and judo.
* YuriGenre: It's an unusually slow-burn, action-oriented take on the genre, but the mangaka has confirmed that this is indeed a yuri story.
