Poacher (English)

In high school, Takashi Shinoda became a cryptid hunter: people who hunt and fight cryptids that pose a threat to humanity or the surrounding ecosystems. However, he began to realize that his new life was not as he thought it would have turned out. Now feeling jaded with his job, he lives with his girlfriend, wondering what to do with his life and whether to continue being a cryptid hunter. One night, however, he encounters a mysterious entity that puts him and his girlfriend through a journey, being forced to join forces with old enemies and reconnecting with old friends, he must confront what his priorities in life are.In high school, Takashi Shinoda became a cryptid hunter: people who hunt and fight cryptids that pose a threat to humanity or the surrounding ecosystems.
