📖 Manga Preview — Issue #1: Unsolicited Pics

Three scenes from the upcoming manga. This is how Mirai fights back.

Scene 1: The Notification

Mirai is in her bedroom reading manga on her phone when a message pops up. A stranger sent her a picture — without asking. Her stomach drops. She does not know what to do. Kōri appears as a faint glow on the screen. "That is a red flag, partner. You did not ask for that. That is not your fault."

Scene 2: Kōri Lesson

Kōri manifests as a tiny digital fox on the desk. She walks Mirai through what to do. "Block the sender. Take a screenshot — but do not share it. Tell a trusted adult. That is the three-step shield." Mirai nods, feeling less alone. She blocks the number and texts her mum. Kōri smiles. "See? You have got this."

Scene 3: Passing It On

The next day at school, a younger student looks shaken. Mirai notices. She sits beside her and says quietly, "It happened to me too. You are not alone." She shows her how to block, report, and tell. The younger girl smiles for the first time all day. Kōri winks from Mirai phone screen. That is what being a hero looks like — helping someone else.
