Den-noh Coil

In the near future, augmented reality is woven into everyday life. Quiet middle schooler Yuuko “Yasako” Okonogi moves with her family to Daikoku City, a place shadowed by unsettling rumors of people vanishing. There, her grandmother “Mega-baa” runs Megasia, a shop known for dealing in illegal tools that can tamper with the hidden layers of the virtual world.

Yasako is soon drawn into “Coil,” an unofficial detective group of kids who track down glitches and corruption in augmented space. With help from the spirited Fumie Hashimoto, she tries to recover her cyberdog Densuke after he becomes trapped in virtual space while chasing an enigmatic virus. Meanwhile, a sharp-edged hacker named Yuuko Amasawa—nicknamed Isako—pursues the same disturbances, pushing the children closer to the secrets behind the spreading anomalies and what uncovering them might demand.
