Kiyo Yumito, A 19 year old japanese highschooler, starts his day with some teasing with his god Mother, Nani Yakamura.
Throughout the day he is reminded of his past, will it catch up to him today?
The new student has arrived! An uncanny resemblance to Kiyos childhood imaginary friend! But she is real, so it can't be, could she?
Meanwhile, Kiyo finally reads the book that he found snuck into his bag, not aware what that book will cause
The Secret is out. Maya Miyasaki is, indeed, Yuna Yumiko(shocking)
And his teacher Haya is in on it as well, explaining that all of this is an annoucement of the Mirror Wars, a deathgame between Anomalies!...which Kiyo is less concerned about compared to his guilt
Finally, Darkness shows herself. Animosity right from the start, Kiyo is faced with the most terrifying moment in his life. And she makes sure he will make a mistake that will not leave him so easily
After 3 weeks Kiyo and Yuna maintain contact while being apart, sort of getting used to their new relationship. Not starting off well though, as Kiyo refuses to seek her out before learning how to defend himself, now that he's got a curse to deal with. As he does though, a curse monster attacks him, which leads to a Woman saving him. With HOW she did, a plan forms in Kiyos head.
Finally, Kiyo(sort of) got the hang of how to use the sword, as well as forming a friendship with Lyla. Prepared to take their seperate ways however, everyone is reminded of the curse and make a decision that will change the course of their destiny
Yuna is completely fine, definitely, so much so she certainly doesn't get ambushed by two greenlanders trying to steal her stuff, thinking she was a thief :)
However, despite her refusal to engage in their shenanigans, her plans change like they did for Kiyo...
Discussing their plans to thwart the thief, they also come to understand it being more than just about the stolen goods. Tension in the group rises however, as their personalities clash with eachother.
Yuna, a bit confused on her own self-perception, doesn't get a chance to ponder, as she witnesses something very peculiar...
As Yuna manages to enter the Water Library she vaguely heard the other Pixies talk about, she meets Iris: The Librarian, which makes her the 3rd Pixie of what was assumed to only be one before.
As they talk, it's revealed the reason for the Mirror Wars is less calculated as first thought, the book being full of inaccuracies. But it's clear to Yuna that it's not wise to get too comfortable here...
In a flashback, Stene and Yuna bond over the fact neither of them gets to go back to their own world after the wars are over. Giving advice on how to deal with their shortcomings.
Finally, the thief shows his face. And as much as Yuna is confident in her abilities, her refusal to engage with his plans, she soon sees how large the gap between them is...
A terrible truth is out, but before Stene and Yuna could do anything about it, they are reminded that in the grand scheme of things, they are just mortals in the home of gods...
Oh look, a flashback of them just hanging out :)
Yuna is forced to stay in school for the night, as Hayas Fiancé is coming over adn Haya does not want her to see Yuna. In that, Kiyo takes he oppertunity to invite her to a sleepover
The Sleepover is now in action, as they prepare to make dinner and, as Yuna promised, home made Mochi. Kiyo gets a weak moment, but passes it through his mind quickly.
When going to bed however, he suddenly realizes a flaw in his plan
Nani reflects on her confrontation with Kiyo while talking with Sugos Mother. Understanding there might be more to it than just exams, unaware of what her boy is going through
As for Kiyo, done with looking for the cave, just wants to find Yuna after learning what happened. As lyla tries to reassure him and give her own concerns, a phone call is heard...
Kiyo and Lyla get attack3ed by a Cursed Monster serpant, a Sanguent! Escaping as best as they could, they realize not only the danger this monster brings, but also the implications as to why it's suddenly here...
Having escapte death once again, Lyla and Kiyo are now faced with a new problem: a turkish mischievious girl with a smug grin.
Explaining she is in kahoots with the same people as Corentine, trust is already at the bottom of the ocean.
However, she reveals to know how to find the Miracle cave in exchange for Lights Sword. Will they take her up on the offer?
Surprisingly, the stranger immediately gets Kiyo to, again, run for his life.
As the stranger explains though, the purpose of it is to see where the monsters starts getting anxious at a direction, as monsters do not go near the Miracle Caves
At the end, the stranger makes a slight calculation, but Yıldız gets a little closer to them, whether they want to or not
Iris reflects on her actions, but doesn't get to do it peacefully, as Lily confronts her on her inconsistency and important information to calm Darkness down
Both not ready to give the other the slightest bit of respect, throwing the past at eachother until both lose their own battle
After Kiyo broke his arm, the gang decides to take a small break, as both Kiyo and Lyla still try to figure out how to get out of the deal they made with Yıldız. In it, Kiyo calls Yuna, hoping to soon meet up, but is met with a silent rejection instead. As the night comes, Yıldız quizzes Kiyo about himself, giving him a big one than leaves him more confused than before.
As for the next day-
Once again, they need to escape curse monsters, except it's in plural. Thinking they got a good strategy to escape them, a concerning new trait is revealed to them in those curse monsters. And Kiyo feels more frustruated by the minute...
Finally after everything, they are at the miracle cave. Before that though, they explore the ruins surrounding the cave.
Meanwhile our protagonist is starting to doubt himself...
Kiyo explores the ruins with the pixies, accepting his inability to keep up with Lyla and YIldIz. In a moment of calm and relief, a weird sense of shame still persists...
After Chapters 19-20(Without You), All three Kiyo, Yuna and Sugo hang out. Suga however is still suspiscious of Yuna, as he thinks he caught her telling a blatant lie, not realizing what it really means for Yuna...
Finally, after over a month of searching, the Miracle Cave is ready to be conquered. As the gang starts their adventure, Yuna has her own Mission to complete
While Yuna is figuring out her own mission, Kiyo, Lyla and Yıldız have fun finding weapons in the Miracle Cave. As Kiyo starts feeling insecure, the team finally reach the wishing room...to meet her
Yuna discovers something about the group that puts herself in danger, meanwhile Kiyo is faced with the difficult dilemma on what giving his Symbol, an item which its loss means death, will cause
Both stressed, both in doubt, but oh so stubborn.
