Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Himemiko. Translated by Massiel Gutierrez. A monster who wants to be feared. A ghost who wants to be seen. A romance that will haunt your heart. A 2025 Chill Chill Award winner! Tsubaki Koton is a monster — a violent delinquent with a chilling past and a terrifying image to match. No other student dares to approach him, not even now he's transferred to a new high school. His anti-heroic acts of selflessness end only in bloodshed and rumors that spiral out of control. But one night, hes followed home by a stranger who sets out to change his life for good. This boy, stubborn and hauntingly beautiful, is the pure-hearted Kabuto Yuuki, with his stunning jewel-like eyes that see past Tsubakis fearsome charade. But although someone finally sees Tsubaki for who he truly is, Kabuto cannot be seen at all. After all, Kabuto is a ghost. Softcover, 5 3/4-in. x 8-in., 196 pages, B&W. Older Teen (16+) NOTE: This volume was impossibly adorable. There was no way, honestly, to dislike his story about a monster with a heart of gold and the ghost who pushes him to interact more with the people around him, who gets a little jealous of him when he does. […] Super cute, go ahead and read it. — Erica Friedman, Anime News Network Cover price $21.99.

Tsubaki Koton, feared as the delinquent monster of his high school, has been stabbed by a familiar student with a grudge. With no time to treat his injuries, he runs off in search of his ghostly savior, Kabuto, who he fears will lose consciousness if he leaves his side for too long. Luckily, Tsubaki finds him in the alley where they first met and soon gets himself patched up.
