A mythical, paranormal romance! There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magical realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life! The past returns to haunt Kyo and Misao when Kyo's long-lost father suddenly reappears. But the reunion is less than happy, for Lord Yo is suspected of murdering his wife! Misao learns the real story of the deadly incident, but it is hardly comforting. Should she tell Kyo about his mother's fate, or should she protect him from a truth he might not want to know?
With the sudden re-emergence of Kyo's father and attacks using human puppets still ongoing, chateau Tengu is one busy place. What clan is behind the attacks? What information does Kyo's father hold? Not only about the current situation, but about the mysterious circumstances surrounding his wife's death, and why he was blamed for it. And will an old enemy rear his head...
With the age gap of Kyo and Misao, along with Kyo's teasing meanness, I can understand how this might not be everyone's cup of tea. But I feel like everything is handled as delicately as possible and it's volumes like this that keep the urge to keep reading alive. There's twist and turns, and exciting antics on every page!
It was great getting to learn more about Kyo's family history, seeing Misao growth of emotional strength and maturity, and witnessing a softer side of Kyo, (which is flipping adorable!) While there was less action in this volume, the political element between clans and within the Tengu clan itself was interesting to say the least.
The art was also stunning! I can't wait to see where the story goes and watch the character's lives unfold. Only 8 more volumes to go.
