Whispers of Vanitas

Enter Rudolph, a student from the prestigious Srausen Academy, who seeks Lyle’s help for a special entrance exam for the art salon known as the Tuesday Society.

The Dragon Sleeps in the Thicket

Written by: Fukurou Ashiba

The narrative takes a dramatic turn with Makoto, a young boy who embarks on a quest to find his father, Shiramizu, whom he has never met, after his mother falls ill. His only lead is a letter that leads him to the mystical Dragon's Village, Urako, a community steeped in legends.

However, the plot thickens when Kamiya Jin, a boy he encounters there, reveals that Shiramizu is actually deceased, having passed away six months prior. Moreover, Shiramizu was the heir of the Kamiya family, known for their unique ability to tame dragons.

This tale explores the complexities of kinship, fate, and destiny as two boys with the same father, yet with vastly different life circumstances, navigate their intertwined fates. What future awaits them in this twist of fortune?
