Back Cover: I will not self-destruct. I will not spend my time crying. I will not blame others -- the remaining children understand these things. The newest pilot Maki will pry open the enemy "vital spot" after the battle. What will they see...?!
Inside Flap: The Rules of Battle in "Bokurano"
No. 1: There are strict rules to fighting in Zearth. If you lose in battle, or the amount of time elapsed before the battle is won surpasses 48 hours, the Earth will be destroyed and all life, including humanity, will be extinguished.
No. 2: The battle is won by destroying the "vital area" that is hidden somewhere on the enemy robot.
No. 3: The pilot will be one of the people who originally signed the contract. The pilot controls Zearth by him or herself, and no change in control is allowed.
No. 4: If the pilot should die in a battle before it is finished, another of the eligible candidates is chosen to be pilot on the spot.
No. 5: When the pilot dies after a battle, the body is sent to his or her family. However, if the pilot wishes, the body can be made to disappear, or stored within one of the many crevices within Zearth.
