Suki demo Kirai na Amanojaku

Hiiragi Yatsuse has spent his life saying yes to people simply to avoid conflict, becoming kind to everyone without ever learning how to form a genuine connection. One evening he meets Tsumugi, a blunt, energetic girl searching for her mother, and soon discovers that the small horns on her head are real: she is an oni from another world.

When Hiiragi recognizes the origin of an amulet Tsumugi carries, he agrees to help her follow the clue toward her missing mother. Their journey pulls him out of his safe routine and into supernatural encounters and unfamiliar places, but the more difficult change is personal. Tsumugi rarely hides what she wants, while Hiiragi has made a habit of burying every desire. Traveling beside her forces him to learn how to express feelings instead of surrendering them for everyone else's comfort.
