In a city that hunts monsters, the only thing more dangerous than a ghoul is the one they call a "Calamity."
Mystery was never meant to be a hero. A Global SSS-Rank anomaly with RC energy that defies the laws of science, she fled the States to find a quiet life in the dark underbelly of Tokyo. But in a world of predators, anonymity is a luxury she can't afford.
Between the obsession of the city's most volatile men-the mask-maker, the gourmet, and the reaper-and a bond with an information broker who deals in secrets more lethal than any blade, Mystery is rewriting the rules of the hierarchy.
The CCG is closing in, a prototype "Calamity-Killer" is on the hunt, and the 20th Ward is a powder keg waiting for a spark. Mystery is here to prove that when you're at the top of the food chain, you don't play by the rules-you break them.
The "Velvet Needle" is open for business. Are you brave enough to get tattooed, or are you just here to watch the city burn?
