Great fun!

In addition to the light novels and manga, the Junk Force series also boasts two audio drama CDs, with professional voice actors filling the shoes of our heroines and hero. This first volume features four stories and two special dialogue tracks, with "Scavenger" and "Crater City" being among the stories told.

This collection features audio drama versions of stories presented in both the manga and the first light novel, and if I may venture a guess, I think this was meant to be the forerunner to an anime adaptation that sadly never came to fruition. (Seiyu heavyweight Nana Mizuki plays Liza and Yลซ Asakawa plays Wooty if this tells you anything.) There isn't a theme song, but there is atmospheric music, including a nice little tune that plays whenever Liza reads off the episode number and title.

The voice acting is solid and the CD as a whole is a lot of fun to listen to; it brings the series to life in a whole new way. I really think this series would have flown higher if it HAD received the anime treatment. Hopefully this could still happen, but I won't hold my breath.

In any case, this is a great addition to the Junk Force fan's collection, even if you don't speak Japanese.
