Synopsis

Long, long ago, when the yen was the strongest currency in the world, there was a city called "Yen Town" by the immigrants. The Japanese residents resented the name and discriminated against the immigrants, calling them "Yen Thieves". This is the story about the "Yen Theives" who believed yen would help their dreams come true and came to the capital to realize their dreams. It is a rhapsody of anarchy, seen through the eyes of Ageha(=Swallowtail), a young girl living in Yen Town.
