Synopsis
In a post-apocalyptic world, wolves disguised as humans seek the Lunar Flower to find Paradise.
Humans thought the wolves died off two centuries ago in this bleak post-apocalyptic wasteland. But some survivors lurk among the humans by mentally cloaking their animal bodies. One white wolf, Kiba, scours the land for the scent of the Lunar Flower that will lead them all to Paradise...but will it lead them to a deadly false legend? (Source: VIZ Media)
