Story

Misao Harada has access to a world or myth and magic, but all she wants is to be a normal girl, with a normal life, and maybe even a boyfriend. But life as she knows it turns upside down when she is attacked by a demon. Suddenly, a childhood friend appears to save her and is licking her wounds - literally. Turns out that Misao is a bride of prophesy and her blood gives power to the demon clan who can claim her!

As she learns, most demons are out to get hoard her power all to themselves, and unlucky for Misao, the only way for them to do that is by eating her! Now she's focused on simply staying away from the demons and staying alive!
