AIKa R-16: Virgin Mission

Aika is a sharp, athletic high schooler who’s already earned her salvager’s license, securing a C-class certification through sheer skill. Despite that accomplishment, her impulsive streak keeps Gota treating her like a kid—and it doesn’t help her reputation when it comes to landing real jobs.

Determined to put her license to use, Aika posts an ad at school and catches the eye of Erika, a wealthy student and head of the treasure-hunting club. Erika hires her for a recovery mission at sea, and Aika eagerly signs on—until she sees the advanced submarine being loaded onto Erika’s private cruiser and learns where they’re headed. What starts as a straightforward salvage request quickly turns into a dangerous assignment in the southern islands, drawing Aika into conflict with a group of other high school girls and raising questions about a mysterious girl named Karen.
