'''[[Two Keys']]'' is an online manga created by Chloe Chan and Aliena Shoemaker, authors of another successful web-manga, ''[[Honeydew Syndrome]]''. Formerly hosted on their joint site, ''[http://www.new-shoe.com/ New Shoe]'', the manga is now on the American manga-hosting site, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131110141625/http://www.mangamagazine.net/ MangaMagazine], and updates the fourth week of every month with new chapters.
 
The story follows Colin Aston, an antisocial diner owner with a [[Mysterious Past]], who [[Unreliable Narrator|apparently]] used to be a mediocre [[Private Eye]]. When an equally Mysterious [[Femme Fatale|blonde]] from the [[Government Agency of Fiction|AFIA]] shows up with a job only Colin is capable of performing he reluctantly accepts, despite knowing full well it will thrust him back into the world of the Occult. Colin faces sorcerers, politicians, and little old ladies... and a secret that destroyed nearly half the city and hits a little too close to home. The setting was inspired by [[Robin McKinley]]'s ''[[Sunshine (novel)|Sunshine]]''.
