Synopsis
Middle-school spy Dan Nanami uses Soma to become an adult spy for 77 minutes, later joined by similar agents.
Code Name wa Baby Face follows middle-school student Dan Nanami, who's actually a spy from a European country. With drugs called Soma, he can turn into adult for 77 minutes. While in adult form, his fighting ability increases dramatically and a special ability allows him to easily obtain information from women.
