Taimashi to Akuma-chan

On a sacred night when snow drifts silently over a quiet village, a demon in the guise of a young girl wanders in from the cold. Lingering at the edge of the settlement, she gazes upon the glowing windows, where families gather in warmth and comfort—a tenderness forever beyond the reach of a creature born of darkness. Then the unexpected happens: an exorcist speaks to her. Between humans and demons stretches a long history of mutual hatred, a divide that should keep the two races forever at odds, yet the exorcist addresses her all the same. In that single, astonishing moment of contact, the demon's guarded heart is stirred, and she finds herself falling immediately and helplessly in love with the very person whose duty it is to hunt her kind. Taimashi to Akuma-chan is a gentle tale of forbidden affection, capturing the first fragile bond to bloom across the boundary separating enemy species. This volume is rounded out with seven bonus chapters, offering readers even more of this tender, wintry romance.
