BradenBaum
Harry Potter thought being sent away for the summer was just another cruel plan from the Dursleys.
Instead of spending six miserable weeks on Privet Drive, Harry is suddenly shipped across the world to Japan to stay with relatives he never even knew existed. There, in a quiet house tucked beneath the hills of Yokohama, he meets Aunt Rinko... and Kuroe, his shy, lonely cousin who has been hiding from the world for years.
Kuroe Akaishi seems fragile, awkward, and terrified of almost everything.
But she's hiding a terrifying secret.
Whenever her emotions spiral out of control, her body begins to change. Scales. Claws. Heat. A heartbeat powerful enough to shake the walls. And if things get too far... Kuroe becomes Harugon, a colossal crimson kaiju capable of tearing apart an entire harbor.
As military forces close in, rumors spread across Tokyo Bay, and strange magical signs begin to surface in Japan's waters, Harry realizes Kuroe's transformation may be more than just a curse, an illness, or a scientific mystery. It may be tied to something far older - and far more dangerous - than either of them understands.
Now Harry must protect the first blood relative who has ever truly welcomed him, while helping a girl who thinks she's a monster learn that she deserves to be loved, not feared.
In a summer filled with steam, sirens, secrets, and the beginning of an unforgettable bond, Harry and Kuroe will discover that family can be found in the strangest places... and that even monsters need someone who won't run away.
A magical kaiju-family story set between Hogwarts and the rising red tides of Japan.
