A Strange & Mystifying Story, Vol. 5

Akio Yamane’s bloodline is cursed! Will his hot guardian deity break the curse…or merely his heart in the process? Akio Yamane falls terminally ill, presumably from his family’s curse. Remembering his grandfather’s final words about their family protector, he looks to where his grandfather pointed and finds a tooth. Upon holding it, he accidentally summons a god who promises to cure him, albeit in a rather odd and intimate manner! Tsumugi, a high school student and temporary bride of his family’s guardian deity, is slowly breaking through Master Kurayori’s crusty exterior with his pure, earnest feelings for him.

One day while the two are out together, they happen across a quiet man and his strange companion. Little do Tsumugi and Kurayori know that this odd couple is searching the countryside looking for a certain type of bone, destroying shrines like Kurayori’s in the process!
