Synopsis:

In a world where the natural order is subtly disrupted, a former circus performer named Specter unleashes chaos. Utilizing a mysterious device, he commands a growing army of monkeys, exhibiting an unnerving intelligence and strategic prowess previously unseen in the creatures. Kakeru, a skilled individual with expertise in animal behavior and control, is tasked by a concerned professor to investigate this escalating phenomenon. The series follows Kakeru's efforts to unravel Specter’s plans and neutralize the mind-controlled monkeys before they destabilize society. The story explores themes of exploitation, the ethics of scientific advancement, and the complex relationship between humans and the animal kingdom, all set against a backdrop of growing unease and escalating conflict.
