Warau Hyouteki

In the quiet corners of a high school in rural Japan, a dark secret simmers beneath the surface. Yoko, a seemingly ordinary girl with an extraordinary lineage, holds a destiny she’d rather forget: an arranged marriage to a childhood friend, Ryuji, who is far from human. Their families, bound by an ancient pact, expect them to fulfill a promise made long ago, one that intertwines the human world with something far more sinister. As Ryuji arrives to claim his bride, Yoko finds herself caught in a terrifying struggle. His true nature, a demonic entity with an unsettling obsession, threatens to consume her and everything she holds dear. With otherworldly powers at play and her very soul on the line, Yoko must find a way to break free from a fate she never chose, before the shadows of the past drag her into an eternal abyss.
