Aosaki launched the novel series in 2015.

Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga adaptation, and it describes the story:

The end of the 19th century—a vampire's wife is murdered, and the detective known as the "cage user" is called in to solve the crime. But there's more to the detective and the curtained birdcage he carries...after all, when solving a case involving a monster, it might just take one to know one!

Haruka Tomoyama launched the manga adaptation based on Aosaki's story in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in June 2016. The manga has since moved to the Nemesis magazine in June 2017, and then again to the Comic Days website in September 2018.
