Series Synopsis
Tsukiko Sagi
(voiced by Mamiko Noto) is a rookie character designer who's just created the
immensely popular cartoon dog, Maromi. Having been highly introverted her whole
life, when tasked to think up the next big sensation, the pressure is nearly
unbearable.
One dark night, Tsukiko hits her limit. With nowhere to run, there is
little she can do. Suddenly, a boy wearing a baseball cap, inline skates,
and wielding a golden bat lurks out of the shadows and attacks Tsukiko.
The two
officers assigned to the case, Detective Keiichi Ikari (voiced by Shozo Iizuka)
and Mitsuhiro Maniwa (voiced by Toshihiko Seki), have a hard time putting the
piece together. With no witnesses or evidence, they start to think Tsukiko made
up the entire story. That is until another victim appears. And then another,
followed by another. Soon Tokyo is filled with rumors and fear of the mystery
assailant who has been dubbed Shonen Bat.
As incidents
grow in frequency and brutality, the truth behind Shonen Bat becomes foggier. Something is plaguing the streets and it seems to be getting
stronger with each passing day.
