Plot Overview: A Demon’s Unexpected Romance
The story of Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy follows Kanan, a powerful demon who descends to the human world with the singular goal of feasting on human souls, disguised as a high school student. She sets her sights on Yoji Kyogi, an unassuming high school boy, as her first target.
However, things take an unexpected turn when Kanan, instead of devouring him, finds herself entangled in a “romantic contract” with Yoji. Having lived for millennia without experiencing love, Kanan struggles to navigate the complexities of high school romance, finding it more challenging than any demonic hunt.
