Story

Studio Echo describes the story:

Funso deshitara Hatta made follows Yuri Hatta, a geopolitical risk assessment consultant who travels across the world dealing with dangerous and complicated international conflicts.

Rather than relying on only one skill set, Yuri tackles each situation with a mix of sharp intelligence, deep cultural understanding and a surprisingly physical approach to problem-solving. Whether she is analyzing political tensions or throwing an opponent with pro-wrestling moves, Yuri faces every challenge head-on in a story that blends global intrigue, offbeat humor and adventurous action.

With its unusual premise and energetic heroine, the series offers a geopolitical adventure unlike most manga currently in publication.

More details on the TV anime adaptation have not yet been announced.
