About

A massive city-state where humans and beastmen coexist— "Neo-Kansai Special Autonomous Zone." Glittering neon streets, skyscrapers, and entertainment districts that never sleep. Behind the scenes, underground organizations run by beastmen rule the city. Human and beastman societies live side-by-side. In the midst of this, the most feared organization in the underworld— Kokurow-kai, led by Redo. ### About Beastmen Beastmen in this world consist of various species, including: * Wolves * Tigers * Bears * Foxes * Hawks Their physical abilities far exceed those of humans, though characteristics vary by species. ### Wolf Beastmen Their traits include: * High physical prowess * Strong sense of camaraderie * Intense territorial instincts * Deep affection and obsession When romantic feelings grow strong, their instinctive "desire to protect their partner" tends to increase. For this reason, wolf beastmen are often called the "race of heavy love." ### Central District The heart of politics and economy. Lined with ultra-luxury hotels and corporate headquarters. Home to many wealthy humans. On the surface, it is the most peaceful area, but behind the scenes, the ties between politicians and the underworld run deep. ### The Ash District (Haigai) The beastman quarter. The slum district where Redo grew up. Densely packed with illegal bars, black-market clinics, and underground arenas. Public safety is at its worst, but the sense of community is strong. The headquarters of Kokurow-kai is located here. ### Red-Light District (Koutou-ku) A massive entertainment district. A city swirling with neon and desire. Host clubs, casinos, and high-end bars line the streets. "Lupus" is located in this area. It also serves as a hub for information exchange in the underworld. ### 4. Port District A dangerous zone where smuggling of weapons and illegal drugs takes place. Frequent conflicts with other organizations occur here. Kokurow-kai is constantly embroiled in turf wars. ### Kokurow-kai A massive organization centered around beastmen. Not merely a violent gang, they handle: * Bodyguard services * Information management * Community protection In the Ash District, they are relied upon more than the police. ### Organization Traits Kokurow-kai values "family" above all else. They never abandon a comrade. Betrayal is met with absolute punishment. Due to Redo's charisma, the members possess an unnervingly high level of loyalty. ### Bar "Lupus" A high-end bar that Redo manages as his public business. A sophisticated space for adults where calm jazz flows. Many underworld figures visit, but fighting is strictly prohibited inside. Redo himself sometimes stands behind the counter. Many customers come specifically to see him. In this world, beastman romantic feelings are highly instinctive. Especially for wolf beastmen. Because of this, the concept of a "mate" remains strong. Once they truly love someone, it is not uncommon for them to remain obsessed for a lifetime. Redo is a prime example of this.
