Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Editor Kyoka Izumi tells Rohan Kishibe about her new rookie Mika Saion and her million-seller hit manga, to which he responds, "Something seems off." Kyoka's bothered, but he's right. She's never met her, and only speaks with her older brother Soshi-on the phone, no less. Worried, she heads to the Saion estate, where Mika remains silent.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
