"Were you... thrown away, too?"

The Edo period. Circus sideshow worker Ichi is left in charge of the care and training of a beast captured to become the sideshow's next showpiece. Ferocious as well as ghastly, the beast terrifies all the caretakers; Ichi, already in a vulnerable position, was simply stuck with the task. At first he cared for the beast grudgingly, regarding it with a contempt born of his dark past experiences, but he begins to sense some humanity in the beast's actions and gives it a name – Bena. Bena's childlike innocence reminds Ichi of his deceased brother and, wanting to somehow return Bena home to his family, Ichi attempts to help him escape. But Bena is no human; he is a child of demons...

Genres: Fantasy , Supernatural

Minori has spent his life attracting demons, but he’s learned to live with their unwanted attention. That is, until the night he rescues what appears to be a sickly stray dog—only to discover it’s actually a demon in disguise. Stripped of his true name, the demon has been left powerless, a shadow of what he once was. To regain his strength, the demon binds Minori into an unholy pact—one that demands more than just blood. Their nights together should be nothing more than transactional, yet as the demon’s touch grows more possessive and Minori’s defenses begin to wane, something unspoken stirs between them.
