A girl married to a demon who's supposed to eat her, except he's terrified of losing her. Two people loving each other so hard they can't admit it, speaking in opposite languages, each convinced the other wants something horrible. The tragedy isn't that one of them might betray the other, it's that they're both already betrayed by their own fear.

Mashiro owes her life to Shuten Douji, a demon chieftain who rescued her when she was a child. At seventeen, the age when she is considered ready to be eaten, she becomes his bride, intending to serve as his food. Shuten Douji, however, adores her and has no plan to devour her, showering her with affection instead. Because each cares so much for the other, the two keep misreading one another, and this short supernatural romance plays out the sweet confusion of a devoted newlywed couple.
