Plot

Heaven and Hell are at war with Hell at a disadvantage. The demon Masatora Akutsu goes to Earth undercover as a student planning to recruit charismatic humans to bolster the ranks and raise the morale of Hell. He quickly becomes smitten with the student Lily Amane and attempts to recruit her. However, she reveals herself to be a sadistic, undercover angel who hunts demons. She defeats him and spares his life, then puts a collar on him that forces him to obey her. While he plots to break free, she plots to use him as a tool to reform Heaven.
