The Demon Prince of Momochi House (Vol. 1)

On her 16th birthday, orphan Himari Momochi inherits an ancient mansion she's never seen. But Momochi House isn’t an ordinary estate—it's built on the boundary between the human and spirit realms, a gateway where supernatural forces collide.

Instead of taking ownership, Himari finds the house already occupied by Aoi, a mysterious and aloof boy who is neither fully human nor fully spirit. As the appointed guardian of the border, Aoi has become the Nue, a powerful being tasked with protecting the worlds from merging. Despite his cool demeanor, Himari senses a deeper sadness and connection between them—and she’s determined to uncover the truth behind his curse.
