Volume
Count D, the mysterious and elegant proprietor of an exotic pet shop tucked away in Los Angeles' Chinatown, offers unique animals capable of fulfilling the deepest desires and obsessions of his clientele. Each sale comes bound by a strict three-point contract outlining rules for care, diet, and secrecy. When customers inevitably violate these terms, bizarre accidents and grotesque deaths follow, attracting the persistent suspicion of LAPD homicide detective Leon Orcot. Leon vows to uncover Count D's role in the unsolved horrors, but the enigmatic caretaker remains elusive as each pet—from humanoid mythological beasts to extinct creatures—reflects the darkness, greed, and vulnerabilities of human nature.

Pet Shop of Horrors delivers an intoxicating blend of gothic mystery, psychological supernatural horror, and dark morality tales, highlighted by Matsuri Akino's opulent, ethereal art style.
