Ginji Amano is blonde, hip, pragmatic, and cool; he possesses the ability to generate electrical currents with his body, much like an electric eel. Ban Mido is a brunette who is equally hip, wears glasses, and is rambunctious; he has the mystically mysterious 'Evil Eye,' which grants him the power to create illusions in the minds of his opponents. Together, they form the GetBackers, the world's premier retrieval team. They recover anything taken from their clients, boasting a success rate of (almost) 100%! However, they must first secure some clients—and soon—or this energetic detective duo will end up starving on the streets!
