MIKU IS MISSING

Rafael, a roaming expat who refuses to admit he's lost distracts himself with romantic adventures in Central Europe. His ex has just broken up with him again, at Prague Zoo, when he meets three beautiful strangers looking for a flatmate

Rafael soon realizes that his new roomies have more going on than their day jobs at a Bohemian glass shop, with their uncanny access to money and drugs. But he ignores his gut after they introduce him to the enigmatic Ayashi.

Rafael joins Ayashi on a business trip to Paris where the recruitment operation unfurls, revealing an elite, bio-existentialist cult that harvests "high-vibrationals"—from Tokyo to Prague to Paris—to create perfumes imbued with the "scent of surrender".

When Rafael enters the Maison Toyama-Beaumont, he joins the shadow-side of enlightenment. Because of his unique "resonance", he becomes the key to the cult's transcendence—or the arbiter of change the Maison cannot control.1
