Tokyo Butei High School is a special school where armed detectives, also known as Butei, are trained and educated. Tooyama Kinji is a sophomore student, who can go into Hysteria Mode when "stimulated" — affecting his mental state (ultra-fast reflexes, protection complex) and manner of speech. He tries to hide this genetically inherited ability from others in order to live a peaceful life. But when he becomes the victim of a bombing incident, by a Butei Killer copycat, his quiet days are over with the fateful encounter with Kanzaki H. Aria — the Butei High "Assault" department elite. * Based on Akamatsu Chuugaku's light novel series.

Episode 1: La Bambina Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-04-15 Tooyama Kinji oversleeps and misses the bus to Tokyo Butei High School, and is forced to take his bicycle. He suddenly finds himself apparently a target of the infamous "Butei Killer", with a bomb attached to his bicycle and being chased by a robot in the form of an Uzi attached to a Segway, but is saved by a girl called Kanzaki Holmes Aria who falls from the sky in a parachute. When Kinji finally arrives at school he finds that Aria has transferred into his class, and after school she appears at his house, declaring him to be her slave.
Episode 2: Aria the Quadra Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-04-22 Kinji finds that Aria is overbearing and bossy, moving into his apartment when he refuses to become part of her Butei Assault Team. This leads to some awkwardness when Hotogi Shirayuki visits him that night while Aria is in the bath. The next day, Aria follows Kinji around while he tries to complete a low-level Butei mission involving finding a lost cat. After escaping from Aria he meets up with his friend Mine Riko and trades eroges with her for information on Aria. Later, Aria finally convinces Kinji to join her Butei team for one mission so she can see his mysterious Hysteria Mode in action.
Episode 3: First Mission Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-04-29 Riko gives Kinji an arcade ticket so he goes to the arcade for a little relaxation. He plays the UFO catcher and manages to get two stuffed toys for Aria. The next day, Kinji once again misses the bus to school, but the Butei Killer has struck once again, and planted bombs in the bus, set to explode if the bus slows down below a certain point. This becomes Kinji's first mission with Aria. They manage to destroy an remotely-operated car that is shooting the bus with a mounted gun, and board the bus, trying to find and defuse the bomb. Aria sees the bomb planted on the bus chassis, but is unable to reach it. Kinji tries to find the sensors that the Killer is using to know what is going on, but a second car appears and shoots at them, and would have killed him if Aria did not intervene. She is wounded as a result. The sniper Reki, on a helicopter, manages to shoot the bomb off the bus. Aria is disappointed with Kinji's performance in the mission and decides that he isn't the partner for her.
Episode 4: Butei Killer Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-05-06 Kinji is walking down the street, reminiscing about the fate of his brother, who had also been a Butei, who was killed in a maritime hijacking incident that he later learns was also the work of the Butei Killer. He sees Aria in the street and follows her, but she catches him, and tells him to come with him. She goes to a police station where her mother is being held, suspected as the Butei Killer. She urges Aria to find a good partner as she cannot handle the true Butei Killer alone. Kinji later hears that Aria is leaving Japan on a chartered flight to London. He goes to a karaoke bar with Riko, who proceeds to seduce him, activating his Hysteria Mode briefly, and he deduces from what she tells him that Aria is in danger. He rushes to the airport, boards the plane, and as he expected the plane is hijacked by the Butei Killer, who turns out to be none other than Riko herself. She reveals that she is the fourth lineal descendant of Arsène Lupin, the famed master thief, just as Aria is the fourth descendant of his arch-nemesis Sherlock Holmes, and that she staged all of the Butei Killer incidents and tried to bring Kinji and Aria together, so that she could prove that she was better than her famous ancestor. Aria and Riko fight, but Riko manages to shoot Aria in the chest.
Episode 5: Butei Charter Article 1 Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-05-13 Kinji takes Aria, unconscious from the shot, and treats her so that she revives. He undoes her blouse and kisses her; his arousal at this activates his Hysteria Mode. When Riko gets to them he is prepared, and they manage to chase her off. The plane lurches as this happens, making them realise that it probably has no pilot, so Aria, who knows how to fly planes, goes to the cockpit, while Kinji goes after Riko. He finds her as she is preparing to make her getaway, mysteriously mentioning an organisation called EU whom she works for, and implying they have his brother. She manages to escape, and Aria and Kinji must get the plane to land safely, damaged as it is by Riko's compatriots, who have fired missiles on it just as she escaped. They manage this despite the JSDF threatening to shoot the plane down if they disobey their instructions to essentially crash the plane into the sea. Afterwards, Aria realises she really needs a partner and there could be no other partner for her but Kinji. At the last minute Kinji changes his mind and chases after her.
Episode 6: Maiden of Hotogi Shrine Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-05-20 Shirayuki has showed up at Kinji's door, enraged that he is living with Aria. She breaks down his door and fights with Aria, trashing his apartment before he can calm them down. She makes several attempts to kill Aria later as well, seeing her as a thieving cat who has stolen Kinji from her. Kinji explains how Shirayuki is a Butei with supernatural powers that come from her training as a shrine maiden. They later learn that she is being targeted by someone called 'Durandal', who seems to have been responsible for some of the crimes Aria's mother was accused of. They volunteer to be Shirayuki's bodyguards. Life with Aria and Shirayuki is less than peaceful.
Episode 7: Caged Bird Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-05-27 Kinji quarrels with Aria, not believing her intuitions about Durandal, whom he believes, as do most, to be a myth. He goes on to try to protect Shirayuki by himself, not realising that Durandal has already contacted her secretly, and is threatening the students and Kinji in particular in exchange for her cooperation. He realises this almost too late, when he finds her about to give herself up to Durandal, who also seems to be working for EU, the same mysterious organisation Riko works for. Aria shows up then, saying that he served his purpose, and proceeds to try to apprehend Durandal.
Episode 8: Durandal Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-06-03 Durandal manages to grab Shirayuki, and Aria and Kinji chase after her. They find her chained to the wall in a lower level of the warehouse, but Durandal is flooding the area. Kinji tells Aria to chase Durandal up to the higher level since she cannot swim, while he tries to free Shirayuki. Kinji is unable to pick all the locks before the water level rises above Shirayuki's head, so he activates Hysteria Mode by kissing her, and he is able to pick the locks very quickly. Shirayuki is washed to the upper level ahead of him, and he sees her there. He asks her how her lips are, just as Aria arrives, and when this fails to fluster her he realises that "Shirayuki" is an impostor. The real Shirayuki appears and fights Durandal, whose true identity is Jeanne d'Arc XXX. By working together they manage to defeat Jeanne.
Episode 9: Honey Trap Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-06-10 Kinji is apparently called by Aria to the girls dormitory, to find that it is Riko disguised as Aria, who again tries to seduce him. The real Aria arrives and tries to fight her, but Kinji stops her, saying that she must have been able to return by bargaining with the government. Riko tells them that she plans to steal back her treasure from Vlad, the second in command of the E.U., and wants their help doing it. Aria and Kinji reluctantly agree. Shirayuki sees Kinji and Riko walking together in the rain and takes exception to her, and they have a brief fight before Riko leaves. Shirayuki tries to seduce Kinji again by locking them together in the school infirmary and taking off her clothes, but Kinji manages to escape by a window.
Episode 10: Special Training Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-06-17 To prepare them for the mission, Riko brings Aria and Kinji to a maid café, where she explains that her treasure, a rosary which is a keepsake from her late mother, is being kept by Vlad. The plan is for Aria and Kinji to infiltrate Vlad's villa in Yokohama disguised as a maid and butler. Kinji is made to go to one of the infirmaries but on the way he sees Jeanne playing the piano. She was evidently also given a plea bargain and explains about how Vlad is some sort of inhuman monster who has lived for centuries, and that both her ancestors and Riko's planned his overthrow over a century ago and failed, and how Riko wants to be free of Vlad after having suffered under his heel most of her life. Kinji arrives at the infirmary right on time and a group of female students has been made to take a physical exam, so he hides in a locker where Mutou has already positioned himself to spy on the girls. The girls include Reki, Aria, and Riko and it is evident to Kinji that her plan was to train him in achieving Hysteria Mode. It is soon obvious that Aria is able to most easily excite Hysteria Mode in him for some reason. The two boys are exposed just as a white wolf attacks them under Vlad's orders, but Kinji and Reki manage to subdue the wolf after chasing it through the school.
Episode 11: Infiltration Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-07-01 Their training complete, Riko brings Kinji and Aria to the villa, disguised as someone Kinji recognises as 'Kana', who has significance for him he refuses to explain. At the villa, they see the popular teacher Sayonaki, who is supposedly staying at the house doing his research with the owner's permission. They remain at the villa for two weeks, eventually discovering the precise location of Riko's rosary which is under heavy security, and Sayonaki's behaviour seems very suspicious. At the end of the two weeks Riko has them move, with Aria distracting Sayonaki as Kinji goes down into the underground storage room to take the rosary. Riko cuts Aria off from their radio link and speaks to him seductively in Aria's voice, which activates his Hysteria Mode, and that allows him to steal the rosary just before Aria and Sayonaki return. After they deliver the rosary back to Riko, she double-crosses them, saying that she used them to retrieve it and now will defeat them both.
Episode 12: Vlad Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2011-07-01 Just as Riko is getting ready to fight Aria and Kinji, she is tased from behind by Sayonaki, who turns out to not only be a scientist working on a eugenic programme of which Riko had been a part, but actually Vlad himself, as her despair makes him transform into his monster form. Aria and Kinji find themselves in an impossible position as their bullets fail to harm Vlad, as they do not know where his fourth weak spot is. Kinji attempts to get Riko away before returning to the battle, and she tells him that she believes his fourth weak spot is in his chest. They try to do this, but it does not work, and Kinji's Hysteria Mode wears off, but not before he notices something important. He nearly falls off the building in Vlad's counter-attack, but Riko manages to save him using her parachute-dress, and they circle around and pick up Aria. Between them they have four guns with one shot each. Kinji lands with his face on Aria's chest and this restores his Hysteria Mode, and they attack Vlad one last time. Kinji noticed how Vlad attempted to protect his mouth the last time they shot at him, and he correctly deduced that was where his fourth weak spot was, and that way they manage to kill him. Afterwards, Riko makes her escape, but keeps her promise to testify on Aria's mother's behalf.
