Synopsis: The first mouse appeared on the night of a full moon over two thousand years ago. A timeless children's song among the humans tells how it made powerful mice companions and legions of war mice. Then it declared war on all humankind. Pai'yan is one of the king's honored 7 heroes, renowned for his skill in fighting the mice. He comes home after a long campaign to find his young son kidnapped by the Magic Mouse, and his son's pet kitten Toraji transformed into a half-human cat mix. Now Pai'yan travels with Toraji, searching for any word that could lead them to the Magic Mouse and his missing son.

Side notes: This manga has been abandoned by the scanlator so there is no more that 7 chapters translated online. Though this manga is still ongoing but it's not a fast publishing series so there is no rush with the reading. The art is on good even if not great level but quite stylized with European ambient. But I'm more or less thinking about the mouse - should it be a rat. Rat's have even more ominous aura to carry (at least in Europe) due of the memories of the Black death. And a mouse makes me think more of Mickey Mouse and Mouse in the stories of Narnia (Reepicheep). So mice in this story are totally different level. They possess different kinds of skills and harm people or even kill them... which makes them a reasonable enemy of mankind... - I guess.
