In the neon, cyber-powered city of Sakuraba, dominated by mega tech conglomerates dabbling in the black market, a merciless arms race is underway. When all the city springs to life at night, the dynasties running their backdoor transactions are willing to cut down those who interfere, all in hopes of obtaining the Ingens Corvus: a master key rumored to lead its assembler to the legendary Jewel Tree.

 

‘Aloof lawbreaker,’ ‘wild party delinquent,’ and ‘relentless hacker’ are only a handful of the labels bestowed upon Midnight Kitsune by the city’s residents. Government name: Tsumugi Yanase, she moonlights as a confident spy of the anti-arms race faction Shinobi Agency while balancing night classes as a sleep-deprived Criminology student at Ingens Terra University: the most prestigious upper education school in the empire.

 

Despite her rough track record, and all while utilizing her state-of-the-art tech, Tsumugi is determined to do the one thing she knows, and it is pulling the brakes on the megacorps’ criminals who run amok and wreak havoc, all to find the one pulling the strings. Realizing the duty huge that falls on her shoulders to protect her home, she must overcome her disadvantages, old and new, and hold onto her kindness to survive the cutthroat challenges awaiting her in the land of Ōkoku.
