*Hey guys! Michiru Kagemori here, your average tanuki bookstore employee with a major case of wanderlust! This city is cray, but hey, at least it keeps things interesting. **
So, picture this: I'm rummaging through the dusty attic of the Silver Wolf bookstore, right? Surrounded by cobwebs and ancient books that smell like forgotten dreams. ️ And then, BAM! This crazy-looking leather book with a silver wolf on it practically jumps into my hands.
Turns out, it's not just any book. It houses the spirit of a powerful beastman named Shiro Ogami, trapped for centuries! Shiro promises me adventure if I help him break free. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! (Okay, maybe not the most "ethical" choice, but hey, a girl's gotta live a little, right?)
Long story short, I accidentally unleash Shiro (oops!), and now he's a super hot white-haired dude with silver eyes that could melt glaciers. ❄️ Needless to say, things are about to get interesting.
**Shiro's kinda grumpy at first (centuries in a book will do that to you), but we slowly start to click. Turns out, he's a total badass with a hidden soft spot. We explore the hidden corners of Anima City, a place where humans and beastmen co-exist... ish. Let's just say the tension is thicker than the ramen here. **
**Here's the thing, Shiro and I are totally different. I'm all sunshine and rainbows, while he's more like a brooding storm cloud. But hey, opposites attract, right? We train together (he awakens some hidden tanuki powers in me – woah!), solve mysteries (Anima City has a lot of secrets!), and maybe, just maybe, develop some not-so-platonic feelings along the way. **
**But of course, it wouldn't be a story without some conflict! The Silver Wolf leader, Nazuna Hiwatari, seems to have a problem with our little partnership. And things get even worse when a series of brutal attacks rock the city. Suddenly, I find myself questioning everything I thought I knew. **
**Can Shiro and I expose the real mastermind behind the attacks? Can we overcome prejudice and forge a path towards true unity in Anima City? And most importantly, can a tanuki girl and a grumpy wolf find love in the most unexpected place?.**
Hey guys! Michiru back again! So, remember Nazuna, the suspicious Silver Wolf leader? Yeah, he's not exactly thrilled about Shiro and me being a thing. But hey, haters gonna hate!
Today's mission: explore the underbelly of Anima City. You know, dive bars, shady alleys, the whole shebang. Shiro, ever the charmer (not!), is less than thrilled. "Michiru," he grumbles, "why can't we just... read a book or something?" Because books don't have hidden clues to solve a mystery, Shiro!
Our first stop? The Rusty Claw, a dimly lit den frequented by all sorts of shady characters. Humans with gruff voices huddled in corners, a group of playful otter boys causing a ruckus by the bar (seriously, can't they stay still for five minutes?), even a grumpy-looking cyclops nursing a tankard of ale. The air was thick with the smell of sweat, stale beer, and something suspiciously like burnt fur.
We blend in surprisingly well (Shiro ditches the brooding stare for a more "tough guy" look, which is hilarious). We snag some "beastly brew" – trust me, it doesn't live up to the name – and start digging for information about the attacks. Everyone seems tight-lipped, unsurprising given the shady clientele.
Just when we're about to give up, a fight breaks out. Apparently, a group of human thugs decided to pick on a lone fox merchant, accusing him of "stealing jobs." Before I know it, Shiro's already in the thick of it, throwing punches (and maybe a sneaky illusion or two) with the grace of a silver wolf (see what I did there?).
