The parade of a hundred demons happens every month on the night of the full moon. The target of those demons’ attack is the flesh and blood of Yao Bikuni’s descendant!? Kai, a generational onmyouji, lives a festering life haunted by demons. In order to break the eternal cycle, he needs a shikigami to protect him. That’s when he gets his eye on the strongest man-eating demon who’s been sealed for hundreds of years – Rasetsu. In exchange for freeing him, Kai wants to use Rasetsu as his protector against the demons, but it seems like he can’t be controlled so easily…

Translator here~ I'm super excited to bring this story to you guys! This is the first time I read any series Japanese BL (usually I just go for the stand alone light novels) and of course as usual, I was tempted by the cover art. At first, I was very reluctant because it starts off in 1st POV and I'm not really a fan of that. But luckily I kept on reading and quickly found out that only the first two chapters were like that and the rest were 3rd... more>> POV. And of course, the more I read, the more I loved the story and the characters. By the time I got to volume 2, I had a feeling it would be my next project because I was binging them – even gave myself a migraine finishing them in a few days.

I'm not really too familiar with onmyouji stuff, aside from maybe one or two movies I've seen in the past, but I did some research and tried my best to do the translation justice! It's more of a footnote heavy novel than my previous translations, but it's not too bad overall!

The story is about Kai, the MC, who is an onmyouji and basically every full moon, he's attacked by a bunch of yokai and monsters. He's kind of tired of having to waste his energy fending them off, so he decides to get a demon to do his work for him. But unfortunately, the demon he frees is very stubborn and things don't go as Kai planned. While Kai attempts to train the demon, Rasetsu, to be his bodyguard and protect him from the yokai, he exorcises some other monsters, tries to raise a half-demon child (not his), deals with some annoying people, and

attempts to get rid of the curse on his body – he only has 6 months left to live.

There are some interesting side characters in the story (two of them go on to have their own spin-off as well) and fun (?) surprises along the way!

Super duper recommend it if you like some darker themes, horror/thriller (I think? I was stressed in some parts), and slow burn romance! Though please beware of the trigger warnings!

The way that Kai 'binds' Rasetsu to him is by using some wonky s*x magic and basically forces himself on him. And then there's quite a lot of non-con throughout, with Rasetsu wanting more s*x. So it does go both ways, though I guess by the second time they do it, it's much more consensual, though a bit forced into agreeing. Anyways, just please beware!

That's all, I hope you guys enjoy it! ദ്ദി (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵) ✧ <<less
