Kiruko and Maru have found the origins of the mysterious bird symbol, but that information alone only leads to new problems to solve. What's worse is that they may have to travel halfway across the country to further investigate. Along the way, they run into a new form of man-eater and this one poses questions as to whether or not they are willing to eradicate them. Masakazu Ishiguro was born in Fukui Prefecture in 1977. An multiple award winning artist, he broke though in 200 when we was presented with the Afternoon Four Seasons Award for his work on the short "HERO". While he broke through within the sci-fi genre, Ishiguro is possibly best known for his comedies; particularly the Japan Media Arts Award winning And Yet the Town Moves (Shonen Gahosha). Whimsical, stylish, and often surreal, Ishiguro's works are often put into their own genre - SF (Slightly Fantastical).
