Upon learning that she is full-blooded Japanese, Ana Ishikawa has unlocked a danger that she’s not prepared for… her birth mother’s wrath that comes in the form of a viciously cold, single-minded killer, bent on destroying all that Ana loves.

At the same time, her teenage daughter, Hotaru, having survived the trauma in Haikyo, actually feels empowered by the experience and succumbs to an inner violent streak with savage repercussions.
