Suspense thriller "Rex Fabula" opens darkly, introducing enigmatic protagonist Akatsuki Homare without revealing the series' true nature.
”Rex Fabula” (“Fictional King”) is a suspense thriller and the first chapter ends on a nasty note and gives no hint about what this series is truly about. We do, though, get a good idea about the personality of the main character Akatsuki Homare. (Source: Bakaneko's Lair)
