It’s the year 2073, and everything has changed. New high-tech dominates almost all aspects of life. However, this has a dark side: unethical human experiments.
  17-year-old Akira Cruz, the genius nephew of the president of the Philippines, was in the middle of grieving for his late best friend when he stumbled upon an abandoned orphan boy in the mountains while on a hike with his younger sister. That boy is Hachi Shimizu, a half-zombie, half-vampire who was disposed of by an evil organization known as the Kara Tech, which was notorious for its brutal and unethical experiments.
  Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence. The three of them believed that Kara Tech was somehow connected to the disappearances of various children in and around the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people,  Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld. Will they stop the organization from committing more heinous crimes before it’s too late?

My Best Friend is a Hybrid

Today is May 22nd, 2nd day of my search for the mysterious creature here in Okutama, Tokyo. I had been asking people for any info regarding that creature, but so far, no luck whatsoever.

My name is Toshi Kawasaki, a supernatural detective from Tokyo. I am a half-Japanese, half-British born in London, England. My mother is a British while my father is a Japanese. They are both wealthy business owners based in London. Although I was born into a wealthy family, I am not a spoiled brat.

From an early age, I was a genius. I easily passed every exam at school starting from primary school. So much so, I was accepted into the world's most prestigious university at just the age of 18 and graduated at the age of 21. After some time, I worked as a soldier for the British military and even a member of the British intelligence agency for 4 years. But, at the age of 25, I decided to resign and moved to Japan to work as a detective for a detective agency called Shibata Supernatural Agency, one of the few agencies established with the purpose of bringing order to the supernatural world. I had been working there for half a year now.

And now, I am in a case about a mysterious creature that is said to be roaming the mountains near here in Okutama. Some men came to my agency to report that missing creature as a runaway child, claiming that he ran from home.

So, one morning, while I was walking, I saw three kids walking together in school uniforms. They seemed to be good friends.

"Excuse me, you three," I said to them while showing a drawing of the mysterious creature, "have you seen this creature?"

When they looked at it, they seemed to be calm.

I became suspicious at that behavior.

But, one of them said to me, "Nope, not at all."

This response makes me a bit stressed because I spent the last 2 days trying to get any tip or clue regarding that creature.

So, I just sighed in defeat. "Okay, thanks, you may go now."

With that the three kids left. I then went back searching for any clues.

Despite how smart I am, I can be that clueless.
