Miami Guns
is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Takeaki Momose. The story takes place in Miami City, which is similar to Miami, Florida, except for several locale changes. It's mainly about the life of two female Miami City police officers having to stop crimes before they get worse. The setting thus has some similarities to that of the popular TV show Miami Vice. Characters Yao is the daughter of one of the richest people in Miami City and seems to ask for her money a lot. She is part of the Miami City Police and sometimes is unaware of what danger she's in.
