Il padre di Shiina si è salvato, fortunatamente, ma la cosa minaccia di minare la stabilità di Shiina, che ora si dice pronta anche a uccidere per evitare che gente come Komori (che a tutt'ora è dato per disperso, e la cui assenza ha causato la morte della madre che da lui dipendeva) uccida innocenti.

Cercando indizi, Shiina e Akira incontrano i due ragazzi dell'aereo del primo numero, Takeo e Norio, che si spacciano per costruttori di mostri finti per depistarle.
Akira poi finisce a fuggire dalla polizia assieme a Sudo, uno del gruppo di Komori.

Il mondo si sta facendo sempre più piccolo intorno alle due ragazzine... e alla fine Akira viene rapita da un cucciolo che ancora non si era incontrato.
Vogliono lei o è una trappola per Shiina, che subito si è lanciata in suo soccorso?

New characters, new threats, increasing sense of unease to go with all the building questions.

So far, it's more of a mystery than anything else, albeit a lot of it is in the air. Literally.

A dark take on the Pokémon and Digimon genre. This saga gets real dark as the story unfolds. Don’t be caught off guard by the subversion of the pocket monster genre. What starts as an action girl series winds up in a weird place reminiscent of Evangelion. Only half the story made it into the English translation. I’m uncertain if it was the strong material, lack of sales or the loss of licensing that brought about its premature end.
