Mido Ban and Amano Ginji are known as the Get Backers, retrievers with a success rate of 100%. Whatever is lost or stolen, they can definitely get it back. Despite their powerful abilities and enthusiastic behavior, Ban and Ginji are terminally broke no matter what they do simply because few people would actually desire to hire them. As a result, the pair of them tend to do dangerous jobs, often leading to unwanted re-encounters with their old (and dangerous) friends.
Great news for this guide! GetBackers is a completely faithful adaptation of the original manga that contains no filler episodes.
You can enjoy all 49 episodes in chronological order with the peace of mind knowing that each chapter is canonical content that contributes directly to the development of the main story and character arcs. You don't need to skip any episodes to live the complete and authentic experience of GetBackers.
