Meet Yuuko "Yasako" Okonogi, a soft-spoken, middle school girl who, alongside her family, relocates to the enigmatic Daikoku City. Although whispers of people mysteriously vanishing circulate, they bravely embark on this new chapter of their lives. Daikoku City harbors a peculiar secret — an illegal emporium named Megasia, skillfully managed by Yasako's grandmother, affectionately called "Mega-baa." This unconventional shop offers a range of forbidden tools designed to interact with the virtual world, fueling curiosity and intrigue. To add an intriguing twist to the tale, Mega-baa also clandestinely orchestrates an unfathomable detective agency known as "Coil." Uniting a group of brilliant youngsters, roughly the same age as Yasako, Coil fearlessly uncovers and combats the rampant corruption of the virtual realm. When a dire situation arises, it is Fumie Hashimoto, a mischievous member of Coil, who extends a helping hand to rescue Yasako's cyberdog, Densuke, ensnared within the confines of virtual space. Little do they know that their exploits will draw the attention of Yuuko Amasawa, a fiercely skilled hacker nicknamed Isako, who joins them on their quest for truth. In this mesmerizing narrative, will the intrepid members of Coil unearth the enigmatic origins behind the vexing viruses and insidious corruption? And more importantly, at what price does their relentless pursuit of justice come? Prepare to be captivated as you delve into the spellbinding world of Coil, where thrilling mysteries unfold in the boundless realm of augmented reality.
