| Summary | As autumn's gloom descends upon 1920s Tokyo, the genteel world of Nishi Ichirou is shattered by a horrifying discovery: his younger brother, brutally murdered in Hibiya Park, bearing savage bite marks. A haunting whistle in the twilight air hints at a monstrous "vampire" preying on the Imperial Capital. Driven by a desperate need for justice, Ichirou plunges into a treacherous underworld where glamorous cabaret stars, notorious criminals, and a mysterious masked detective intertwine with the blood-soaked secrets of an ancient Greek tomb. With each new victim, the stakes rise, forcing Ichirou to confront not only a cunning killer but also the startling truths about himself. Can he unmask the true fiend before he becomes the next sacrifice, or will the city's dark heart consume him too? |
