Synopsis

Kanan is a demon who descends upon the human world with one goal: to feast on the sweetest delicacy of all—young human souls. Disguised as a high schooler, she sets her sights on her first target, an unassuming boy named Youji Kyougi. But just as she prepares to claim her meal, things take a very unexpected turn. Instead of devouring him, Kanan ends up forming a "romantic contract" with Youji. For someone who's lived for millennia without experiencing love, navigating high school romance proves more terrifying than any hunt. Between awkward dates, hand-holding mishaps, and feelings she can't quite name, the once-proud demon finds herself flustered at every turn. A supernatural romcom about a lovestruck demon and the boy who was supposed to be her prey—sweet, chaotic, and full of firsts. (Source: MAL News)

Audience Consensus

Audience reaction is generally positive, with strong praise for its comedy, charming lead, and surprising wholesomeness that balances its explicit ecchi elements. However, some find the ecchi content excessive and the plot predictable, leading to a moderate level of audience division on its overall execution.

  • High-quality animation and appealing character designs.
  • Excellent voice acting, particularly for the main character.
  • Successful integration of ecchi elements into the humor.
  • Creative and audacious gags that push boundaries.

Weaknesses

  • The story and character tropes can be generic and predictable.
