Pages: 200

Summary: from Good Reads
There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magical realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life!

Misao knows her relationship with Kyo is dangerous, but she's used to being the one in peril! Will she be able to stand it when the tables are turned and Kyo is threatened? As leader of the tengu clan and boyfriend of the Senka Maiden, Kyo gets a lot of attention in the demon world, and very little of it is good. From the wrath of a reincarnated dragon to the hatred of a demon hunter, Misao must face the fact that she isn't the only one at risk in the relationship. But how can she just stand by while Kyo is threatened?!

Feelings: 

Kyo and Misao are struggling with their relationship. I enjoy the fantasy side of this manga, but the relationship between Kyo and Misao is beginning to seem a little childish to me. Kyo doesn't seem like he is that nice, he punishes Misao for what seem like inconsequential things to me.

It doesn't look like things are going to change, Raikoh's appearance in the story may end up causing Kyo and Misao to become a little more adult in their relationship. That's my hope anyway.

I'm going to keep reading the series to see what happens. I'm invested now.
