9-nine-: Episode 1

I became the mayor after my father passed away. As the unlikable ‘Magic Trash,’ I used high-level props and awakened the magic circle! Unexpectedly, a frightened girl in her tattered clothes—Liz had appeared... No way, no! Did my guardian beast just get blocked by a girl like that?

As a demon under my control, Liz always looked arrogant as she kept competing against me. There must be one who wins and one who loses, even if it is by doing naughty things. But sometimes... she would also smile gently and speak of her loneliness, just like... the harshness was her defense so that no one could enter her heart.

As the thorns enveloping her sprouted new shoots, the city became more and more prosperous, but strange things also emerged bit by bit. The [Withering Flower] curse was gnawing her soul and somehow also affected me!

When campus nobody Seiji is attacked by unhinged space demons, it’s his classroom crush Yuuri who shows up to save the day! Her magical-girl powers easily vanquish the enemy, but a surprise ambush forces her to dive in harm’s way to shield him—leaving both fatally wounded. Luckily, Miss Fujiko arrives on the scene with an enchanted thread to bind both their life forces, saving them from certain death.

Over the next three months as Seiji and Yuuri slowly recover, the pair are on doctor’s orders to stay within one meter of each other or risk snapping their “red string of fate.” This means shacking up together and pretending to be a couple to avoid their classmates’ suspicions, but despite the clueless Yuuri claiming to be a “one-woman fortress with zero openings,” her natural powers of seduction quickly result in awkward situations that test poor Seiji’s sanity and self-control...

With his dream girl only centimeters away at every waking moment, will Seiji finally summon the courage to shoot his shot?

One ordinary night, our protagonist's life takes a wild turn when he stumbles upon an ancient, mysterious book, lost in a dark alley. The book reveals age-old techniques of magical martial arts, capable of controlling people's minds. Curious but skeptical, he decides to test the book's power on the only person around: his aunt.

What starts off as an innocent joke quickly spirals into a series of hilarious, unexpected situations as he realizes the book actually works!

Now, he's stuck dealing with the comical consequences of controlling his aunt’s mind, all while uncovering the dark mysteries and heavy responsibilities that come with his newfound power.

Will he learn to use his skills wisely, or will he keep spreading chaos and confusion in the lives of everyone around him?
