Plot

No one believed Clair Aoki, who claimed that monsters lived among humans. After the terrible death of her parents and the disappearance of her sister, she became isolated in herself. No one believed her. All that she had was a gold coin, the purpose of which the girl did not know. Clair understood that a coin could help her find answers to her main questions.

Shuichi Kagaya grew up an ordinary boy until one day he turned into a monster. Outwardly it was a dog costume. After the transformation, the guy gained incredible strength, dexterity, as well as the sense of smell of the animal. And on ordinary days, the guy had a nose like a dog. Where did he get this ability from? Or maybe it’s a curse? There are many questions. But Shuichi decided for himself: never under any circumstances to show others who he really is.

But the day came when Shuichi broke his promise. After that, his life began anew. Together with Clair, the guy begins the search for her sister. Throughout this path, Shuichi will rethink a lot, change his worldview and attitude towards himself as a monster. The answers to his questions are very close…
