Chikai High was a normal school. Typical classrooms, a gym, bathrooms, lockers, and a cafeteria. Typical bullies, nerds, geeks, cheerleaders, and jocks. Everything was exactly as a normal school should've been. That is, until the new girl came. Kitora was everything but normal, with her raven black hair and blood red eyes. Turns out, she's a demon from Hell, sent to the Living World on a mission to capture sinners who'd escaped their punishments, as a boy named Shiro soon finds out.
At first, Kitora's cold and hostile personality unnerves him, until he learns the startling truth behind her. He is then presented with two choices: either keep her secret under lock and key, or tell the world and get blasted by a fireball. The choice he makes is sure to change his life forever, especially when he realizes the worst: he's falling hard for the demon girl.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
