MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 2006. Stopped in 2008 after 8 issues, but was briefly continued by another publisher.

The 12-year old Ritsuka Aoyagi gets a message from his deceased brother Seimei telling him that he was murdered, and Ritsuka starts on a mission to find his brother's killer. A mysterious 20-year old male named Soubi Agatsuma joins him, but he seems to have a hidden agenda as he tries to get romantically involved with Ritsuka, who both dismisses and admires him.
The stories' youngest characters are special in appearance, insofar they have two catlike features (ears and tail) until they have lost their virginity.
