''Babylon'' is a novel trilogy written from 2015 to 2017 by Mado Nozaki (''Anime/KadoTheRightAnswer'') with artwork done by Zain under Kodansha's Kodansha Taiga novel label.[[note]]There's word that there's a fourth volume that's not released yet, although it's suggested that KT asked Nozaki if he can do so since the series is left at a cliffhangar and Japanese/foreign critics have pointed it out that the third volume is making a lot of readers/viewers speculate.[[/note]]

* LivingAphrodisiac: Ai Magase practically ''breathes'' sex-appeal with her existence alone, to the point where people get aroused just by noticing her existence directly. Both men and women alike.
* MasterOfDisguise: Ai Magase, to the point where it was initially believed that a whole ring of prostitutes where involved in a corrupt political scheme, turned out to just be her ''alone''. A quality making her incredibly difficult to catch on security cameras.
* MindRape: How Magase's victims describe the impact she makes upon them by merely ''talking'' to them once. An experience so traumatizing and shameful that it drove one of them into a self-imposed exile, turned seven highschool-boys into nervous wrecks, and the rest to even greater lengths to escape that feeling brought from her.

The Tokyo District Public Prosector's office authorizes a daylight raid in Tokyo's newly created Shiniki ward to investigate a pharmaceutical company named Japan Supiri, suspected of faking medical test results from a university. One of the prosecutors involved is Zen Seizaki. While the DPPO investigates, an anesthetist by the name of Shin Inaba was found dead. Left behind is a mysterious document with the word "F" written on it with hair and skin samples.

As Seizaki investigate the case, he learns that a mysterious group is making plans to covertly manipulate the ward's local mayoral election and deceive the locals by using fake information. At the center of law enforcement investigation is a woman named Ai Magase.
