[BluWacky]

I spent a whole load of time last night typing up all the useful blog entries on the website about various terms to be used in the show, but got fed up and deleted them all before posting. Because I'm actually rather interested in this series (I might even WATCH it!), a basic summary of the interesting salient points is below, spoilered for people who like to go in completely blind:

Spoiler for Stuff from the website:

Both Akira and Saki are 22 years old, born at the very end of the Shouwa era in January 1989. Saki's parents are dead, and she lives with her sister and her husband (the sister's, not Saki's!) in a bakery.

Akira is the 9th of the 12 "Selecao" ("the Chosen" in Portuguese), Japanese people who have come into possession of "Noblesse Phones" charged with vast amounts of digital cash enabling "all their wishes to come true". Their mission, apparently, is to "lead this country in the right direction" - they are presumably chosen to steer Japan to a new future after whatever effect Careless Monday had. They are assigned tasks by "Juiz" (I think, I'm a bit hazy on what exactly Juiz does/is from the description).

If they are judged to have used the Noblesse Phone badly, then the Selecao are assassinated by "Supporters". One of the Selecao is actually a Supporter in disguise.

People who have proper Nihongo-fu, please correct as necessary. I really need to knuckle back down to vocab/grammar learning...
