SYNOPSIS
Aya Mikage turns sixteen and expects a normal birthday celebration. Instead, her family reveals a horrifying plan: they want her dead. The reason is celestial. Aya carries the blood of Ceres, a heavenly maiden trapped on Earth centuries ago, and she possesses the power to transform into the goddess herself. To the Mikage family, that makes her a threat they cannot ignore. But Aya isn't helpless. She can fight back against Ceres when the transformation takes hold, reclaiming control of her own body. The problem is that this struggle happens constantly now, splitting her consciousness between human girl and divine being. With her family turning hostile and her very identity fractured, Aya finds unexpected protection in Yuuhi, someone willing to stand beside her through the chaos. What unfolds is a collision between ancient myth and modern life, where Aya must survive both her family's betrayal and the god living inside her while discovering what she's truly capable of becoming.
