This first two episode volume of Knights of Ramune starts of with our heroines, the two Holy Virgins Cacao and Parfait along with their little slime ball/spiritual advisor Piqu, are sent to find the Fourth Warrior Ramune. Their search begins by them landing on a military space craft that is destroying all possible resistance on a nearby planet. Even more shocking, who ever is in charge has captured hundreds of children that they are running experiments on. With all this confusion, one question is clear. Why were they sent to this ship?

To get rid of some of the confusion, they free all the children and make their escape attempt. Not to say they had an escape plan, but anyone that they had was immediately scrapped when they accidentally get trapped in a giant robot with one of the children. After surviving a close battle, they crash land on the now desolate planet. Our heroines now much make sense of their situation, figure out how to pilot their robot, and tolerate Piqu and their new travel companion, Lemon.

Sorry, but when updating this page to include the information about who was behind this series, I failed to realize that I sold this tape a few months ago to one of my little brothers friends.
