Description
The central figure of this Japanese-style fantasy is Tsubaki, a high school student who seems to carry a predisposition for bad luck. Despite his misfortune, he harbors a long-standing, one-sided love for his childhood friend, Sakuya, a girl who is as beautiful as she is talented in academics and athletics. Their familiar, almost fluffy dynamic takes a sharp turn one day when they are suddenly attacked on the street after leaving school. This incident shatters the peace of their daily lives and serves as the catalyst for the story's supernatural conflict.
The manga quickly reveals that deities exist and can manifest themselves through humans. Central to this mystery is a white snake, a divine messenger, which becomes entwined with Sakuya and the obsessions surrounding her past. The narrative unfolds in the ancient capital of Kyoto, where Tsubaki finds himself caught between his ordinary feelings of love and an extraordinary, fate-defying struggle involving the supernatural. The story blends light mystery and romance, using foreshadowing to contrast the protagonists' tender childhood connection with the ominous events that begin to plague them.
Tsubaki is portrayed as altruistic and somewhat timid, his personality shaped by years of bad luck, which makes him a wholesome yet predictable romantic lead. Sakuya, the object of his affection, is initially presented as an idealized figure, though hints of a more possessive or unstable yandere personality emerge as the plot progresses. Supporting characters like jealous classmates or friendly peers exist primarily to push the main duo forward without playing major roles in the central mystery. The manga is noted for its elegant line art and minimalist shading, which creates a warm yet ethereal atmosphere that elevates the conventional story. The serialization was ultimately discontinued due to the author's health.
