This short spinoff relates the adventures of Foxy Croquette O-Gin after she mysteriously disappeared from Nagata-cho, Tokyo, as seen in ''Tachiguishi-Retsuden''.

Palestine guerrilla turned Foxy Croquette O-Gin, aka AK Ginko, could be the mysterious Young Lady of Fate (少女, ''shojo'') featured in ''The Red Spectacles'' as both characters are performed by Japanese model and actor, Mako Hyodo which is dressed like ''Little Red Riding Hood'' in both films.
