Rikka Kitan is a new manga created by Sana Kirioka, launching on Monday on Kodansha's Comic Days app. The first compiled volume is scheduled for release on August 20.
Setting and Plot
The manga takes place in an alternate Edo world and follows Tōma, a wolf beastman working as a city patrolman in Edo. One night, he helps a girl named Rikka, who is fleeing from unknown attackers. Rikka reveals she is a noble lady from Izumo with a secret that has placed her in danger.
Deciding to shelter her, Tōma and Rikka’s lives become intertwined. Rikka longs for the quiet life of peace, but her arrival sparks a series of unpredictable events, especially since it’s Tōma’s first time living with a girl.
