___ Do you know the famous tale of the Hare of Inaba?
The hare tricked the sharks, mocked them, and paid the price by having its skin flayed—a story of getting exactly what one deserved...
But what if that hare actually had a twin, and the hare from the legend was falsely accused?? This is a "what-if" sequel to that story.
Modern day, thousands of years later. The misunderstandings of that day and the grudge against the hare are stories of the distant past. Now, the shark beastman lives a peaceful life. Catching fish in the sea, living near the shore, spending his days without any particular hardship. ...Except for one thing. He never imagined he would ever fall in love with someone. Then, one day, Guest appears before him.
"...You're a strange one." "But... I don't hate it."
