The romantic comedy is about Masatora Akutsu, who has come to the human world to search for an idol for demons. Akutsu meets Lily Amane and invites her to join him. However, he learns that Amane's true identity is an angel, and he attempts to make her fall from grace.

The anime stars (character name romanizations are not official)::

Shūichirō Umeda as Yūya Tanigawa, the first friend Masatora makes after transferring schools. He comes off as unassuming but he is actually a schemer who sometimes lets slip his dark side.
