Pet shop of Horrors

D-He manages a pet shop in Chinatown in his grandfather’s absence, though he rejects the name "Count D", reserving it for the shop’s true owner. Claiming to trade in "love, dreams, and hope" rather than pets, he favors animals over humans, displaying a serene demeanor—except around Leon, whom he tolerates despite frequent clashes. Though he professes disdain for humanity, he grows attached to Chris and reluctantly accepts Leon’s bribes of sweets. His father reveals they descend from an ancient civilization linked to animals, nearly wiped out after a refused marriage proposal. D and his family are near-identical clones—distinguished only by eye color—created to continue their ancestor’s vengeance.

Leon Orcot, a brash detective, obsessively investigates D’s pet shop, linking it to local deaths. Convinced D is a criminal, he vows to arrest him, refusing to accept supernatural explanations despite mounting evidence. Though initially hostile, their relationship grows complex over time. Leon’s womanizing habits frequently surface, contrasting his otherwise determined demeanor. Unlike other customers who suffer consequences, Leon receives two benevolent pets from D—a flowering plant and a butterfly—both offering solace during his struggles. These gifts mark a subtle shift in their dynamic, diverging from D’s usual dealings

Jill, Leon's police colleague, serves as his more competent counterpart - demonstrating greater knowledge and professionalism. Fluent in Chinese and well-versed in subjects like butterfly life cycles, she frequently counters Leon's accusations against D with reason. While maintaining her duties as an officer, she shows clear appreciation for D's company and regularly finds herself frustrated by Leon's obsessive suspicions.

Count D" is the mysterious caretaker of a pet shop in Los Angeles Chinatown. Each of D's rare pets, which all have strangely humanoid appearances, comes with a contract with three major points. These points differ for each animal sold (although each animal's contract includes not showing it to anyone), and breaking this contract usually results in dire (and sometimes disturbing) consequences for the buyer, for which the pet shop claims no liability.Individual chapters of Pet Shop of Horrors are often based on these consequences, and are each written as a stand-alone story, usually introducing one or more new characters in each chapter. With the exception of the main characters and their families, it is rare for a character to carry over to a later chapter, providing the series with a very episodic nature.

The detective Leon Orcot is used to tie the chapters together into an ongoing plot, usually in the form of a subplot within each chapter. Initially he suspects D of malicious criminal activity and using the pet shop as a front for drug trafficking. As the series progresses, he learns more about the pet shop and D himself, entering into a strange friendship of sorts with D as he works to uncover the truth.The creatures D sells to rare to mythology : Bluebird Crested Ibis Mynah Phoenix Passenger Pigeon Parakeet Rooster Bison Butterfly Canines Doberman Labrador Lhasa Apso Wolf Chimera Dobermann Dolphin Dragon Felines Black cat Maine Coon Sabertooth tiger Tiger Kirin Lizards Medusa Mermaid Nine tailed fox Orangutang Rabbit Scorpion Sterlizia Teddy bear Titicaca orestias and Many more
