Break it now. Fix it later. That’s the Steamfitter way. In ages past, the Ambrosians commanded powerful creatures with the Staff of the High Summoner. Fortunately for Steamfitter & Co., Arcadia has that artifact in her larder, right next to the cheese. So, how exactly does it work? Good question. Nobody knows. And even if the team did know how to use it, they don’t have any constructs. To get their own city-leveling titan, they’ll need to defeat one in open combat, using hand weapons. Does this seem like a terrible plan to you? Yes, it does. It’s a good thing that infighting and recriminations are their specialties. All they need are some steam engines, androids, ancient computers, experimental airships, reckless teenagers, and multiple lines of credit. Go team.
Megan Wane is like many people, feeling trapped in a job she hates while what she loves goes unattended. She uses her talented imagination to escape into a dream world for brief stretches of time, but even that can't help her hold everything together when the unthinkable happens.

After you go big, the only direct left is going even bigger. Arcadia now controls Leviathan, largest sea monster ever, one of the four Cardinal Constructs. If she’s to stop Minister Hoover and his ancient flying city from conquering the world, she’ll need all their power combined, and then some. Of course, she’s likely to burn down a few cities along the way, and might just possibly throw her entire civilizations into chaos, but what’s a few calamities between friends? When you’re with Steamfitter & Company, the chaos is by design.
It’s do or die to save the world, and most likely, if things keep going this way, everybody’s going to die. Sorry about that. Still, our proud team has gusto. They also have Cora. Don’t discount Cora. Fleeing to the far side of the world, our heroes join the Crew in exile, formulating their plan. To save the world, they must capture Bahamut, secure the Aeralon, and travel to the Crystal Hope. Meanwhile, Minister Hoover has assembled his own cadre of villains, seeking to make himself Emperor. At the same time, his own cadre of villains seek to usurp his throne, so it’s anybody’s guess as to who betrays who. There’s likely to be a gigantic finale where our heroes fight an equally giant boss. They might even save the world, but the odds are against them.
The themes of war and time are intertwined in unique ways in Japanese culture, freighted as that nation is with the multiple legacies of World War II: the country’s militarization, its victories and defeats, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the uneasy pacifism imposed by the victors. Delving into topics ranging from the production of wartime propaganda to the multimedia adaptations of romance narrative, contributors to the fourth volume in the Mechademia series address the political, cultural, and technological continuum between war and the everyday time of orderly social productivity that is reflected, confronted, and changed in manga, anime, and other forms of Japanese popular culture. Grouped thematically, the essays in this volume explore the relationship between national sovereignty and war (from the militarization of children as critically exposed in Grave of the Fireflies to reworkings of Japanese patriotism in The Place Promised in Our Early Days), the intersection of war and the technologies of social control (as observed in the films of Oshii Mamoru and the apocalyptic vision of Neon Genesis Evangelion), history and memory (as in manga artists working through the trauma of Japan’s defeat in World War II and the new modalities of storytelling represented by Final Fantasy X), and the renewal and hybridization of militaristic genres as a means of subverting conventions (in Yamada Futaro’s ninja fiction and Miuchi Suzue’s girl knight manga).

When you’re in deep water, go deeper. There’s got to be a bottom down there, right? Right? Like clockwork, every heroic team finds out that their boss is the real villain. Fortunately for Steamfitter & Company, Cora was already a villain, so she never had any illusions. Naturally, she has a plan. Many questions remain unanswered. Who is Minister Hoover with? What are his goals? How does he fit into the web of intrigue? Answering these questions will take expert skullduggery, careful planning, and the destruction of an entire city, maybe even a civilization. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Trifolia is caught in a war between two empires, and sooner, rather than later, it will become the battleground, so you can’t really blame Minister Hoover for fighting unfair, right? Finally, Arcadia’s mother’s been off-stage for too long. It’s only a matter of time before she shows up and sews her own unique brand of chaos, which is no mean feat considering the chaos that this group already sews. Exactly what sort of mayhem will she deliver? Whatever it is, it’s bound to complicate their spectacular trainwreck.
