Tatsuki and Ohta are transfer students. Their classmates view Ohta as nice but shy, and Tatsuki as a total snob. When class chairman Kouhei observes the overly servile manner Ohta shows toward Tatsuki, he’s determined to save Ohta from Tatsuki’s evil clutches! Little does he understand the relationship between the two; Tatsuki is the successor to the Dragon King, and Ohta is his house spirit
When Tatsuki’s father falls ill, Tatsuki and Ohta must return to their village. Tatsuki must take his father’s place and wed. Wanting none other than Ohta, how can Tatsuki avoid his obligations to his father and the villagers?
This was a sweet romance with slight supernatural themes sprinkled in. Kouhei was my favorite character, with his earnest desire to “save” Ohta from the diabolical Tatsuki. I didn’t find Tatsuki to be a sympatric character until later in the book, when he is torn between his duty as the successor to the Dragon King and his love for Ohta.
The art is on the sparse side, a little rough and unfinished looking. The page layouts had a lot of variety and kept the story flowing along.
There was an unrelated story included about Akihiko, who survived the car accident that killed his father, and the family’s house spirit. Also included was a note from the writer, and a bonus page from the artist.
