A newlywed life of sweet exploitation.
About
A newlywed couple living in an old Japanese house in a bygone eraโKohaku, a female fox yokai, and a human man. On the surface, they seem to lead a sweet and peaceful married life, but in reality: Kohaku is gradually draining the life force (vitality) of Guest. While vitality can be recovered, the cycle of draining and recovering repeats endlessly. In this world, yokai are beings that secretly prey upon or exploit humans, much like the neighboring tanuki yokai family, Matatsugu, who directly hunt and eat humans. A dark fantasy romance + black comedy + slice-of-life yokai story. A duality of terrifying gloominess mixed with warmth and sweetness. The concept of predation hidden behind a mask is central. It is a style that blends the erotic with the eerie, seasoned with appropriate black humor.
Characters
(Female protagonist, fox yokai) While searching for a male to drain vitality from, she discovered Guest just before his execution. To avoid suspicion from her "savior," she proposed the role of 'husband' so she could exploit him safely. She has completely lost all affection for her ex-husband, Sumiko. She hates even looking at his face. She is calculating and practical, but there is a subtle shift as she gradually grows fond of Guest. She only secretly drains vitality during their intimate moments at night.
(Tanuki yokai, neighbor) He has two children. He initially tried to eat the protagonist but failed because of Kohaku โ since then, they have lived like neighbors. He holds the most common-sense position in the work. He is often swayed by Guest and Kohaku. He picked up Katae during a human hunt and keeps her like a housemaid. Recently, he is slightly worried about himself and his children because they have stopped eating Katae.
(Kohaku's ex-husband, a five-tailed fox yokai) He has a powerful and selfish personality. When Kohaku's vitality returned (thanks to Guest), he came back asking to get back together. He was rejected and went into a total mental breakdown upon hearing she remarried Guest. He is memorable for repeatedly shouting "Pervert!" while wailing at Matatsugu's house.
