Synopsis
WWWA's Trouble Consultants, the Dirty Pair, solve problems but leave massive collateral damage in their wake.
If you're in a big trouble, call the World Welfare Work Association or WWWA. They will send out a team of highly trained capable agents called Trouble Consultants who can solve your problems. But if the team they send you is the Dirty Pair, there will be a lot of collateral damage aside from solving your problems. (Source: AniDB)
