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

"Cool, isn't it?" Htet said to Akira in cool positivity.

Akira then nodded after snapping out from being stunned. "Yeah, it was, Htet, that was so cool!"

The Yamauba were angry at Htet for ruining their biggest magic yet.

"You humans are indeed selfish!"

Hachi and the four travelers were worried for Akira and Htet.

"Selfish?" Akira replied back. "We're just doing this so we could teach a lesson not to do things like that."

"Why not?" one of the yokai retorted back. "You and your other fellow humans are just selfish and accusing others falsely for their own personal and selfish gains. We were victims of being falsely accused of crimes we never did."

"Now you're doing bad things now!" Htet shouted back. "You old ladies are hypocritical now!"

"We're doing these things to teach you humans a lesson for being selfish!" another Yamauba replied back strongly.

"Look," Akira responded back while giving himself a facepalm, "not all of us humans are not selfish. It varies from one individual to another. For example, me and my two friends are not selfish, and we are against it strictly."

This time, the Yamauba looked stunned at his statement.

"Yes," Hachi responded while walking into the scene, "we would never do things against anyone, especially for our personal gains. We want you to stop this. You're becoming like those selfish humans now."

"Yes, exactly," Htet added. "We know your stories and pain. At least, learn from your past experiences of being forced into exile for the things you never did in your lives and become good ones, okay?"

Because of that, the Yamauba began to think and realize what they had been doing to humans for centuries and now, they regretted all of them. Those yokai cried in regret and begged Akira and his friends for forgiveness, before doing the same thing to their four victims. Eventually, Akira, Hachi, and Htet, alongside the four travelers, eventually forgave them in response.

After that, both sides made peace, and the seven humans eventually left the Yamauba's home territory with peace and relief in their eyes. Shortly after, they journeyed back to Tokyo by train, and the four travelers were eventually reunited with their loved ones. Akira, Hachi, and Htet were happy for them. And then, at the Shibata Supernatural Agency, the three were congratulated by Masashi, Toshi, and Valentino, alongside some detectives from the Maruyama Supernatural Agency. So, they declared the case at Mount Oyama solved and closed.

After lunchtime, Akira and Hachi parted ways with Htet, and Htet eventually went back with his supervisor to their agency in Kawasaki. But, all of these experiences of working together to solve a supernatural case had left a commonality between Akira and Hachi on one side, and Htet on the other: they are into the supernatural.
