Aosaki began the novel series in 2015. Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga adaptation, and it describes the story:
The 19th century ends—a vampire’s wife is slain, and the detective known as the “cage user” is summoned to solve the crime. But there’s more to the detective and the curtained birdcage he carries… because when unraveling a case with a creature, it might just require one to comprehend one! Haruka Tomoyama launched the manga adaptation based on Aosaki’s story in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in June 2016. It has since shifted to Nemesis magazine in June 2017 and then again to the Comic Days website in September 2018.
