Killing Bites

College student Yuuya Nomoto gets swept into a kidnapping without realizing what’s happening—until it turns on him. The group’s target, Hitomi Uzaki, a high school girl, slaughters his friends and forces Yuuya to drive her to a mysterious destination. There, he’s treated as a bargaining chip in a brutal death match between Therianthropes: human–animal hybrids engineered through advanced gene therapy. Hitomi, empowered by her ratel-derived speed and ferocity, tears through her opponent and keeps Yuuya alive.

When Yuuya wakes up hours later, the horror hasn’t ended. He’s now entangled in a covert proxy conflict among four major Japanese conglomerates, with control of the nation’s economy on the line. Bound to Hitomi as her only—and unwilling—investor, Yuuya’s fate hinges on her survival in the clandestine, gore-soaked underground battles known as Killing Bites.
