Monster Romance

In a harmonious society where humans and mythical creatures coexist, love transcends species barriers as individuals embrace each other's unique traits without prejudice. This world is filled with diverse romantic entanglements, from a clumsy dullahan devoted to her track-star boyfriend to a nervous boy navigating communication with his mermaid crush and a centaur contemplating how to confess to her childhood friend. Amidst this flourishing atmosphere of interspecies affection, however, Setsuka remains an outlier; she is an icy oni known for maintaining emotional distance and giving humans the cold shoulder. Setsuka’s isolated existence shifts dramatically when Eiji, a determined and kindhearted classmate, boldly confesses his feelings for her. His sincere declaration ignites a faint spark within her previously frozen heart, prompting her to reconsider her stance on romance. With guidance from her supportive monstrous friends and her equally lovestruck sister, Setsuka begins to navigate unfamiliar emotional territory. As she learns to accept affection and vulnerability, her once-frigid demeanor slowly thaws, suggesting that even the coldest oni can find warmth in unexpected connections. This volume also includes the bonus one-shot "My Ideal Girl."
