Classification | shoujo |
Synopsis | Motomiya Ayane is a normal high school student, who senses something strange when walking home with her friends. Akane is suddenly summoned into another world.
with her friends, Tenma and Shimon. Akane soon learns that she has the power of the Rujin dragon-god in her body. She is asked to save Kyou from demons. Unable to
believe what's happening, she flees, and encounters Akram, the leader of the demons. She
gradually realizes her responsibility as a person of power, but she is also attracted by Akram. Luckily, Akane has the Hachiyou, eight men with powers of their own who are sworn to protect her. |
Review | This looks promising, as it's quite scary and the otherworld characters look really interesting. On the other hand, I didn't care much for the school-student characters on first acquaintance, or their character designs. Seems to have had a positive reception elsewhere. |
