It's an age where aliens, monsters and other dangers threaten the Earth, and various heroes have risen to protect it. Supporting these heroes are the human defense forces, of which the sisters Kitajishi Miyuki and Yuri are a part. Specifically, their office is for hero consultation, and they help heroes solve their problems, but they also help evacuation procedures during emergencies. Yuri was formerly an immensely powerful and popular magic girl, but now she helps protect people in a more human way. In their first case, they consult with a hero who has lost his powers, and is trying to find a way to live as an ordinary human.

Sonoba Shinogu is the owner and chef of a restaurant called "Heaven's Door," an ordinary and not very popular restaurant. He has two part-time workers who dress as maids, Maeda Atari and Ariga Chie. Through some weird quirk, they begin receiving as customers famous people from throughout history. These people are transported through time and space to Heaven's Door, just before their deaths, and Shinogu has to figure out how to satisfy their order for their last meals. Famous visitors include Japanese historical figures, like Oda Nobunaga and Ryoma Sakamoto, as well as foreigners like Marie Antoinette.

This is what tethysdust said this week:
I rather liked Ganma, which takes place in a world with superheroes. I was interested to see what issues heroes would want to consult about. Saigo no Restaurant was an neat idea, but I wonder how long they can keep the premise fresh. Majestic Prince might be fun for mecha fans (there's also an anime already). It was a little too fan-servicey to keep me interested, though.


My opinion:
γ - Ganma seems like it might be good for those who are interested in seeing super heroes' problems. It might be interesting to see what kind of last meals famous people would like in Saigo no Restaurant. Majestic Prince would be good for those who like mecha/alines and already watched the anime and want to see more.
