The Plot: __
Ritsuka Tachibana is a normal second-year high school student who attends Shikō Academy.
She lives with her mother and big brother, who is currently studying in England.
One day Ritsuka gets summoned by the student council, in suspicion that she has broke some school rules. The student council president Rem Kaginuki, a devil, approaches her and gets repelled by her necklace. The student council members are surprised but let her leave.
When Ritsuka gets home, her mother is injured and some men are going through their home, looking for something. Ritsuka flees and calls the police but when they arrive the scene, her mother is gone and house is undamaged. She is scared and goes to stay with her friend, but is soon attacked by the men. The men are vampires an demand that she reveals the location of the "Forbidden Grimoire".
The Plot Spoilers:
She is rescued by Rem, who is the heir of the Arlond family, the most powerful devil family. Rem also wants to find the Forbidden Grimoire since his father has ordered him to do so. The other devils Shiki, Urie and Mage want to find the grimore too.
Lindo comes back from England when he hears about their mother's disappearance. Lindo has all these years been studying to become an exorcist to protect their family from devils and vampires. It's later revealed that Lindo is half human-half vampire, His father is the leader of the vampires. Lindo is also actually not Ritsuka's brother, but her cousin.
It's also revealed that Ritsuka is half devil- half human, Her father is a devil named Maksis, who was the former devil king before Rem's father. Ritsuka also has the grimore inside her, she is the grimore.
As the story progresses it becomes very obvious that Lindo has been in love with Ritsuka for a long time and now Rem, Urie, Shiki, Mage and Roen (a cerberus under Ritsuka's father Maksis) are all falling in love with her.
Personal Opinion:
The story is a common otome game plot. There were parts that i liked but the anime is messy. The anime is so fast paced, short and baffling. All the guys falling in love with her, even her real cousin.. Personally i was put off about Lindo loving Ritsuka. The ending for this anime is also "open ending" type of situation and it is not satisfactory at all. The characters too were very common otome characters with really nothing new and refreshing to bring to the table. It is a shame that this promising concept was wasted to do an anime like this.
If you want to watch an anime to laugh for it's "cringiness", go ahead, but don't expect too much. I don't like to use words "bad" or "stupid" when describing animes, but this one did have a "bad plot". The only reason to watch this anime is for the songs, they are very catchy and good.
6/10 and i feel like i am being generous..
