The sequel, ''Rewound Memories'', centers around two seemingly unsolvable cases; one of mass murder, and the recent death of Kyushei. Minato, a detective from the Shang Mu Investigative Offices, gets hired by Mayor Zao in an attempt to prove his innocence in the Kyushei murder case. As more details are revealed during the investigation, it becomes slowly clear that the two cases correlate. (Dead; the author is planning a remake)

''Fall of the Crimson King'' introduces the reader to Yuki, a falcon who had been living on her own ever since she was just an egg. As a result of injuring a member of the Red Scarves, she started to be hunted by their ranks. When Yuuto, a member of the Shoheki, saw Yuki fend off one of the Scarves, he immediately enlists the help of her in defeating the Crimson King, the boss of the rival gang, the Kakuchu.

The sequel, ''Rewound Memories'', centers around two seemingly unsolvable cases, the Kyushei murder case and one of mass murder. Minato, a detective from the Shang Mu Investigative Offices, gets hired by Mayor Zao in order to restore his reputation and proving his innocence in the murder of Kyushei. As more details are revealed during the investigation, it becomes slowly clear that the two cases correlate with each other.
