A Magical Ring Sparks an Unstoppable Supernatural Romance
Set in a modern world where humans and yōkai coexist, the story kicks off when building manager Satoru angers his secret crush, the socially aloof widowed snow woman Mifuyu. Desperate to make amends, Satoru uses a mysterious ring meant to aid in communicating with yōkai—only to find himself relentlessly pursued by a suddenly forward Mifuyu. Creator Puuzaki Puuna noted that this marks a groundbreaking direct-to-TV anime adaptation for an adult dōjin manga without a prior commercial version, and confirmed that the series will feature an original storyline diverging from the original English-released volumes.
