Don’t miss this intriguing tale of magic, war, and sexual politics from Production I.G., the studio that brought you Eden of the East, FLCL, and Ghost in the Shell! In the time of the Hundred Years’ War, a young and powerful witch known as Maria leads a reclusive existence. Shunned by the church – but beloved by a few locals – Maria endeavors to use her magic to bring an end to the warfare she so despises. Using her magical ability, she aids humanity alongside her two familiars: a seductive succubus and an incubus…who’s a little incomplete. Though she seeks only peace, the archangel Michael despises the way she uses magic to interfere with human affairs and decrees that should she ever manage to lose her virginity, her powers will vanish! To ensure that Maria no longer mixes magic with warfare, Michael sends the angel Ezekiel to keep a watchful eye on the virgin witch. In theory, his plan is sound. But keeping a fiery young woman bound by the rules of a higher power might prove too daunting even for an ever-vigilant angel.

Kojou Akatsuki is a normal high school student. Living in Itogami City, he tries his best not to stick out. Considering creatures of legend populate the city, you'd think he'd have no problem! Humanity's rise from the dark ages has brought mythological entities like vampires, spirits, and other things to near extinction in the modern day.

Unfortunately, despite Kojou's attempts to keep his head down, someone has taken notice of him. A mysterious girl follows him, and when they finally meet face to face, she exposes him for what he is: the Fourth Progenitor, a vampire powerful enough to shatter the fragile peace that has settled over Itogami City, and plunge everything into chaos! But if Kojou Akatsuki really is the Fourth Progenitor, why doesn't he act like the horrible menace he's supposed to be? How did a supposedly normal high school student become the Fourth? The answers might lie with the incident three months ago, an incident Kojou claims he can't remember!

Life for minor god Yato isn't getting any easier. He's still broke, shrineless, and his partner-slash-sword-regalia has zero respect for him. Worse yet, Bishamon, one of the deadliest war gods, is after his life. Blaming him for the death of her past regalia, she won't stop until she kills him. But there's more to that story than she could ever realize. And as if that's not bad enough, there's someone working against her behind the scenes! Can Yato take on a god as powerful as Bishamon? Or will things take a more dangerous turn? Right when he thinks things have settled down, Yato is forced into working with Nora and must brave the underworld in order to help a fellow god. The catch? He may end up stuck there if he can't figure out how to escape Izanami, queen of the underworld. Between all of his godly drama, Yato still needs to figure out how to help Hiyori. But all options lead to losing her, and he's not willing to make that choice-no matter what. Five yen doesn't even begin to cover his trouble!
