Synopsis and worldview

The story is set in the small seaside town of Greyville.🌊

The werewolves Giri (a guardian figure for Najak, Engie, and Taher), Najak, Engie, and Taher visit Greyville to avoid their natural enemy, the vampire.

Najak, Engie, and Taher met at Grayville Junior and Senior High School, where they transferred to, where they were bullied and isolated.Khan.

At first, the four of them were distant from each other, but they gradually became close friends.

One day, a series of mysterious murders occur in Greyville, and the "secrets" surrounding Khan are revealed...🐺

As the story progresses in Dark Moon, a heartbreaking yet epic drama unfolds, with conflicts between werewolves and vampires, the deaths of loved ones, and encounters with new werewolves.💔

In addition, the worldview of Dark Moon is also linked to the collaborative manga work "DARK MOON: Altar of the Moon" with ENHYPEN.👀❕

The two works are structured so that you can enjoy "one story" as a whole.🌙

Furthermore, the worldview of Dark Moon is also closely related to &TEAM's concept.

In the music video for their debut song “Under the skin,” actor Kentaro Sakaguchi played the role of the werewolf Giri.Also talked about❕

&TEAM's song "W.O.L.F. (Win Or Lose Fight)" has also been released as an original soundtrack that follows the worldview of Dark Moon.💿

The charm of the werewolf “growth story”

The big appeal of Dark Moon is the growth story of the werewolves played by the members.🐺✨

At first, the characters each had their own ``past'' and ``trauma.''😭

The story of him meeting friends and the death of a loved one, overcoming his past wounds and loneliness, and trying to stand up to his natural enemy, the vampire, will deeply touch the hearts of readers.😢

Although it is a fantasy world, the conflicts and bonds depicted are very real!

Furthermore, the character settings that match the images of each &TEAM member are exquisite (*¨*)♡

I'm sure everyone will empathize with the sight of them not just being strong, but growing through struggle.🐺✨
