Ryotakeda Stories

Ryo Takeda, a brilliant but reclusive mangaka, vanishes without a trace just before the release of his highly anticipated new volume.

With the help of her friend Aki, Hana must decipher the clues hidden within the pages of Ryo's work before it's too late. But as they unravel the mystery, they realize someone-or something-is watching their every move. Will they expose the truth behind Ryo's disappearance, or will they fall prey to the shadowy forces controlling the narrative?
