Akira/Synopsis

Introduction Arc
Returning to the Kemono Office, Shiki and Akira want to eat pizza as they had some coupons. To their surprise, they see a new boy in there. Kohachi Inugami introduces Kabane Kusaka, explaining that he will be staying with them. He reveals Kabane is a hybrid like Shiki, which only annoys Shiki. Seeing Kabane wearing his clothes, Shiki is even more annoyed, but refuses to take them back after Kabane had wore them already and angry he goes to the bathroom. Kabane then makes a comment that Akira is pretty girl, but that ends up making him angry as he explains he is a boy.

While lying in bed, Shiki keeps mumbling to himself that he doesn't like Kabane. Akira guesses its due to being the first other hybrid he sees, but if Kohachi had brought him up here, he must have a reason, and he may be in bad situation or is super strong. Shiki tells him to go and ask, but Akira refuses and decides to go to sleep without taking a bath.

Unable to fall asleep without taking a bath, Akira wants to take one, but learns that Kabane is in it. But in that moment Kabane returns and Akira is happy and goes in himself. Moments later, he is caught in Shiki's threads and is unable to move in the bath.

As Kohachi orders Shiki to take Kabane to Yoko Inari, Akira decides to tag along. Reaching the Shinjuku Police Station, only Kabane is allowed to meet Yoko. A bit later, Kabane returns, and they find him creepy and police and he reveals to be Kon in disguise. Shiki manages to take Kon's briefcase and finds Kabane's head inside, which causes Akira to faint.

A client bewitched by a nekomata, a two-tailed cat, comes in and initially Kohachi assigns the kids to it, but when he realizes its a nekomata, he tells Akira to sit that one out as it may get scary and he isn't fit for it.
