To remain close to her, Kai takes on the guise of a high school student, but the demons continue to pursue him relentlessly. As he tries to protect his mother and uncover the underlying cause of the demons' fixation on him, he also confronts the traumatic experiences he suffered at the hands of his demon prince step-sibling, including torture and rape.

Many of the demons have backgrounds of sexual violence or continue to engage in such behaviors. With suggestive and disturbing themes, the artwork can be unsettling, yet it remains subtle and alluring.
