Fairy Cube
妖精標本〈フェアリー キューブ〉
Synopsis
Gentle Ian, branded a liar for seeing fairies, reunites with Rin to solve eerie fairy murders amid folklore and danger.
Ian Hasumi has always been gentle and sincere, yet people call him “Ian the Liar” because he insists that fairies—and a green-haired, lizard-eyed double only he can see—are real. When he crosses paths again with Rin Ishinagi, the childhood friend who once took his stories seriously, the city is buzzing with rumors of strange “fairy murders,” victims left with eerie, wing-shaped bloodstains. Drawn into the mystery, Ian meets Kaito, an enigmatic shopkeeper who peddles crystal cubes containing perfectly preserved insects. Their encounter at a crime scene leaves Ian with an unusual souvenir: a cube holding a tiny lizard. As shadows close in and the line between the seen and unseen blurs, Ian must navigate a world where folklore bleeds into reality and every truth comes at a price.Included one-shot: Volume 3: Psycho Knocker
