The series is set in Manila where the mythical creatures of Philippine folklore live in hiding amongst humans.

VTubers appear to be making quite the splash in the West and now, 6 of them will be hosting the VShojo VTuber panel at Anime Expo Lite. Vtubers Ironmouse, Projekt Melody, Nyanners, Silvervale, Zentreya, and Froot will be hosting the panel that “aims to create and foster content that pushes the boundaries of VTubing and talent freedom, while maintaining deep respect for the people and companies that helped paved the way.”
