Whispering Shadows - A Mystery of Ash and Serena
20 parts Ongoing Tokyo. A city of blinding lights, hidden secrets, and stories begging to be uncovered.
Ash Ketchum is no longer chasing Pokémon-he's chasing truth. As a young, idealistic journalist in the heart of the city, Ash wants to make a name for himself uncovering stories that matter. But when a strange whisper at a local event spirals into a chilling trail of vanishing scientists, encrypted memos, and a shadowy project known only as Ikari, Ash realizes this is no ordinary story.
And then there's Serena. Brilliant. Composed. Artistic. With a past linked to one of Tokyo's most powerful design-tech firms, she steps into Ash's investigation with grace, charm-and secrets of her own. What begins as a casual collaboration soon deepens into something more, as Ash and Serena must rely on each other to navigate a world where nothing is what it seems.
Mysterious symbols. Locked doors. Watching eyes. Every clue leads them closer to the truth-and deeper into danger.
As shadows gather around them and the stakes rise, one question burns brighter than all the rest:
How far would you go to expose a secret the world was never meant to know?
"Some truths are buried in silence. Others whisper until they burn."
