Pumpkin Scissors

Alice L. Malvin leads the Pumpkin Scissors, a unit of the imperial army focused on war relief, three years after the long war between the Royal Empire and the Republic of Frost ended. The team's efforts to assist a village occupied by renegade soldiers lead to a meeting with Randal Oland, a former soldier with a troubled past and a kind heart. Randal joins the Pumpkin Scissors, but during a mission, he's prompted into a trance-like state by a mysterious blue lantern, resulting in him gaining monstrous strength and helping the team defeat the enemy.
