Balance Policy (Japanese: バランスポリシー, Hepburn: Baransu Porishī) is a science fiction manga series by Akihito Yoshitomi.

It was originally planned as a six-page story, but was expanded as Yoshitomi saw potential to develop the setting further, and was serialized by Shōnen Gahōsha in 2010–2014 in their magazine Change H;[a] it has since been collected in two tankōbon volumes.

Balance Policy was written and illustrated by Akihito Yoshitomi,[3] who initially intended to finish the story in six pages, but continued as he thought there was room to further developing the setting.

They called it charming, describing its straightforward narrative tone as gripping, and saying that the careful depiction of the characters' psychology made for an emotionally resonant story.
