Kyo, on the other hand, is stuck in Japan working as a doctor. He's always admired his older brother Asuka. But, one day, Asuka sends an injured Krieg to the hospital where Kyo works.Stubborn and in denial, Krieg refuses treatment, so Kyo has to tend to him against his will... only to find his own consent violated in the process! All Kyo wants is for Krieg to be that beautiful beast he was before...This is a tale of awkward love between a misanthropic black panther and his physically frail human doctor.

Sumito Tokitsu moves to the countryside to live with his grandma following his parents' divorce. The story of the Crow Demon has been passed down through generations in this village, and Sumito used to dream about it when he was a child. Waiting for his first day at his new school, a strange shadow starts appearing in the night and touching him. Before long, he finds himself longing for the touch of the mysterious figure. Suddenly, a boy named Gaku Kurama appears at school and tells Sumito they are destined to be together!

“A long time ago, a divine fox saved Mikazuki village from famine. In return, the fox took one of the villagers as his bride. To this day, the villagers hold a marital ceremony every year at the summer festival. The descendant of the fox and the descendant of the bride marry, and then they spend one night together. The villagers believe that this ceremony continues to protect them from disaster. It just so turns out that, this year, those two descendants are Kanata and Kuro, and, this summer, it is their turn to marry and have sex. There's one problem -- unlike Kanata, who believes in their village's customs, Kuro does not seem too keen on his fate. Kuro's apathy hurts Kanata, who always felt that he didn't quite mind, as long as he was with Kuro...” —Manga plaza
