The first installment of this adventure series begins when Miku, an artist, and her loyal alpaca, Theo Strange, receive an urgent message from Kyoto. Their friends Sebastian and his stoic cat, Mr. Black, are in trouble-the workshop where they live is under threat, and Sebastian's artwork is being targeted.
Miku and Theo race to Kyoto, only to find themselves drawn into a much larger mystery. A criminal agent from Theo's past resurfaces, activating a dangerous device that threatens their lives and livelihood.
As the group travels across the Kyoto countryside-from mountains and valleys to dense jungle-they begin to uncover fragments of a hidden agenda.
But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Who is behind the attacks-and what are they really after?
