VIZ Media's Ceres: Celestial Legend, Vol. 7 blurb offers:
The search for Ceres' hagoromo or ‘celestial robes’ brings the action back to Tokyo - to Miyagi, specifically, where rumours of a spectral white dog (“figuring in the celestial legend!,” says Suzumi) prompt a transfer to girls-only high school for Aya, Chidori, and...Yuhi?! Connected to the dog's increasingly frequent attacks is a sweet and popular girl named Maya Hirobe, but why — and more importantly, how — is she involved? Is it possible that Maya is a C-Genome...and doesn't even know it?
