I like the artwork in this series. The story arc is simple, fun and enjoyable. A demon falling for a priestess and the priestess falling for the demon.

I love Mayu Shinjo's work. I first read the Sensual Phrase series when I purchased a lot of mixed manga and was hooked. Love it. So good!

Miko loves being a shrine maiden in her family’s shrine. Researching spells and maintaining the grounds bring her much joy.

Unfortunately, Miko was never blessed with the sight to see spirits.

As such, she’s never really been able to banish spirits either.

This all changes though when she encounters Kagura—a powerful incubus who feeds of the romantic and sexual feelings of women. Somehow, Miko is able to seal Kagura’s powers!

The spell works—but it has consequences.

Mainly, Kagura is now sealed to her! His powers are tied to hers, allowing Miko to finally see spirits. This makes both of them a target for unruly supernatural forces, very interested in taking down a shrine maiden and a reduced demon as powerful as Kagura.

Kagura vows to protect Miko—if she helps him get back his powers and feed off of her!

So, I’ll admit this is a fun read~

It has its problematic elements for sure. Kagura and Miko’s relationship does not exactly start in the most healthy of ways. There is a lot of problematic and manipulative behavior throughout.

That said, from a purely entertainment viewpoint, this story was enjoyable. I can’t lie. Though the dynamic has its flaws here, I like the concept. Miko and Kagura has some fun banter and sone of the jokes are off-color but really funny. I don’t often feel that a lot of manga caters to a western sensibility of humor but this one captures it very well at points.

I think this is clearly a manga of its times—which is no excuse. But, if you can manage to enjoy series like Maid-sama or Fruits Basket, Ouran, etc. I think you’d be relatively unoffended reading this series. It’s the same dated sensibility.
