Canis: Dear Hatter

Ever since Kutsuna, an eccentric designer known as the mad hatter, took in the enigmatic Ryo on a rain-soaked day, his life has undergone a remarkable transformation. Now living together under the same roof, the two have found a comfortable rhythm, and with the unwavering support of Kutsuna’s exceptional staff, his fashion business has flourished beyond expectations. The shop thrives, and for a time, their quiet success seems to be all they need. However, the trajectory of Kutsuna's career shifts dramatically when Gotou—his long-time friend and fiercest rival—delivers unexpected news: Kutsuna has been officially entered into New York Fashion Week. Initially reluctant to leave behind the life he has built and travel abroad, the designer eventually steels his resolve, recognizing the magnitude of the opportunity before him. Upon arriving in the bustling streets of New York, Kutsuna anticipates focusing solely on his debut collection. Instead, the trip takes an unforeseen turn when he crosses paths with several figures from Ryo’s mysterious past. These chance encounters with old acquaintances threaten to unravel hidden histories, introducing new complications just as Kutsuna prepares to step onto the international stage.
