Baka's Curse: Volume 4 (Nums of Shoreview) - Tapa blanda

Against the bluffs of Lake Luthralum’s northern shores, is the floating city of Shoreview which is one of the few cities that allow all species of Altered Creatures to live among the Humans and Polenums. It has become the greatest destination in all the lands for the trading of goods. Pruva, a giant sloth-like creature, arrives in town and uncovers a cursed idol within the “Dare to Trade” shop, which is being run by three young Polenums. Curious about the mysteries that are hidden within the object, the three friends begin to recognize an odd series of events that cause them nothing but trouble. Attempting to deal with the magical item by themselves, their problems continue to increase until it appears the entire city will be destroyed due to the actions of the young Polenum friends. It is now a race against time to save their city and all that live there.
