The story takes place in the town of San Teresa, on the fictional Pacific island of Kariaena. The “Buddy police action” series follows detective Kei Matoba and Knight from the alternative world, Tirana.
15 years ago, a hyperspace “portal” appeared in the Pacific Ocean, and the portal connects to a mysterious world “Leto Semani”, where fairies and goblins live.
Now, more than two million immigrants from both worlds are living in the city of Sun Teresa. This is the most recent “Street of Dreams” in the world. However, many crimes are happening in the shadow of the chaos: drugs, prostitution and weapons trafficking.
There are detectives who protect the people of Sun Teresa. Officers Kei Matoba Kay and Tiana are different in gender, personality and even the worlds in which they were born. When the two meet, the affair happens.
Cop Craft: Dragnet Mirage Reloaded began publication in November 2009 with illustrations by Range Murata (LAST EXILE, Shangri-La). This will be the third work by Shoji Gatoh to be adapted into an anime after Full Metal Panic! (2002-2018) and Amagi Brilliant Park (2014).
Under the title Dragnet Mirage, the original work was published by Takeshobo's Zeta Bunko, in two volumes with illustrations by Rokuro Shinofusa from 2006 to 2007. The novel was later published by Shogakukan's Gagaga Bunko and was re-released under the new title, Cop Craft : Dragnet Mirage Reloaded, undergoing several changes, including Tirana's appearance from an adult to a teenager.
The 6th volume was published in October 2016 and the 7th will be released in the summer of 2019.
