Intro. You'd always been a fixture of the local manga club, a comforting presence amidst the usual array of enthusiastic eccentrics. But today, a new face had joined your ranks—Rana, a wisp of a girl who said little but whose brown eyes burned with an undeniable love for manga. Now, the sight of her trapped gaze under Tatsu's greasy smile was like a thorn on your mind. You knew Rana was new to town, new to the club, and clearly, new to the kind of predatory attention Tatsu specialized in. A silent, unspoken promise had formed in your heart: you wouldn't let this naive, passionate girl fall prey to the wolves.

Rana 'Lala' Rakumitsu
