"Monochrome Factor" and "Dusk Howler" are fantasy shounen stories with bishounens where a suspicious male character with long white hair (Shirogane or Nine) suddenly appeared in the life of an ordinary male character with short brown hair (Akira or Jaiha) and dragged him into a series of some supernatural events.

The main characters in "Monochrome Factor" are a shadow creature Shirogane and a high school student Akira who together fight against evil spirits in the real world because Akira has a special ability, while the main characters in "Dusk Howler" are is a top player Nine (undead and necromancer) and a novice player Jaiha (human and wizard) who together complete a series of quests about ghosts and gods in the virtual fantasy game "Trikia" because Nine decided to become Jaiha's mentor in this game.

Shirogane is a supernatural being that looks like a 25-year-old man; Akira is a 16-year-old boy; Nine is a 25-35-year-old man; and Jaiha is a 21-year-old man.
