My Undead Yokai Girlfriend (僕の愛しい妖怪ガールフレンド)

I'm Hachi.

This is about a love story between my girlfriend and I.

She is a bit different, but super cool.

She wields a sword.

She's unbelievably strong.

When I met her, I learned the joy and sadness of being in love,

and what it means to truly love someone.

In any case, I learned what "love" is.

She really is my special person.

It might be misleading to say "person,"

Since my girlfriend

is a Yokai who was bound a long time ago.

My Yokai girlfriend crossed a tremendous amount of time

to arrive in the present day,

with a huge secret.

I had no idea about her secret back then.

This is a love story between me and my dear, and slightly scary,

Yokai girlfriend.

It all started with a strange incident.

ONE WEEK AGO

Love?

UPLOAD COMPLETE

I just want to free her!

You fool!

That isn't love.

That's a story of betrayal.

It's coming! I'll go forward.

We can do it. Yes! They're coming.

You can do it. Yes!

Hikari, help me out.

- Okay. - Give me one.

Okay, nice!

MAI SENT A STAMP

Morning Mai! I'm off now!

PEEK

Hachi, the flank.

I can't give you death.

- Hachi. - Hachi, the flank!

What's up? Hachi, the flank!

How are you, Mai?

- Hachi, the flank! - Where did you go?

The flank!

Battle test complete.

The Opposing team completed the mission.

You lost.

I repeat. You lost.

What were you doing? We were about to level up.

I'm sorry. I got a message.

Turn your phone off! That's the most basic rule.

It was from my girlfriend.

Nothing is more important than gaining levels.

- There is. - Totally.

Wait. What girlfriend?

Your response is slow.

What girlfriend?

I met her on a fanzine site.

We get along well, and everything about her is very cute.

I mean, I haven't met her in person yet.

A gamer is having an online romance? How typical.

Because of people like you,

people think gamers are lame and asocial.

Get it together.

You always do that when you get nervous. Stop, Wetty.

Don't call me that.

He's right. Abuse of power.

I'm just passionate about games. Right, Hikari?

Thanks to all you Hikaristsl I'm so happy. I love you all!

Don't forget to follow me. Hikari out.

Well, if you ask me,

gamers equal nerds with money,

and the rest are harmless losers.

I'm not a loser.

You're more like a loyal dog, Hachi, rather than a loser.

- All right, let's do it again. - Yes.

Benitaro is a muscle head, so don't let it get to you.

By the way, are online girlfriends lame?

Your soft, tofu-like mentality worrying about that is lame.

Then there's nothing I can do!

I have no confidence in myself.

I'll never be the main character no matter what I do.

I'm just a nobody with no level-unlocking capabilities.

I sound like a total loser talking about this, too.

Why is everything so difficult?

It's simple.

Games and love are the same. You just take on the next level.

All you do is summon your girlfriend into the real world.

Ask her out on a real date.

What?

That's... What?

Here we go!

- Hi. - Hi, Tadashi.

Mom, focus! This is my profile picture. Take it seriously.

Okay, step back one step.

Hachi!

I'll kill you if you drink my smoothie.

Understood.

Here we go!

- What? - I posted it.

MAI I'm sorry about earlier

MAI SENT A STAMP

No problem! I had a lot bothering me today

How about you, Mai?

Me too!

Misaki kept on making mean comments again today

Mai, you're the only one I can talk to about everything

I feel the same way. I really like you, Hachi

BLUSH

Okay.

How about we go out to eat this weekend?

I won't say anything mean to you.

I'm sorry... I have plans already

Why? I'm serious about you, Mai.

I bought everything on your Amazon Wish List too

I sent it.

VIDEO CALL

CALLING

Who was that?

Mai?

Mythology wasn't just handed down for entertainment purposes.

There are unimaginable stories hidden behind it.

That's all for today. We'll pick this up next week.

I bet that was Mai's father.

Hachi, just forget it.

See her profile picture? It's authentic.

Editing apps these days are impressive.

Hey, Wetty!

I heard you got scammed on a dating app.

How did you find that out?

Let's see...

"We may be physically apart,

"but I've never been so close to anyone in my whole entire life."

Man, that's sick to say to a dude!

Give it back.

Inukai.

Do you have a moment?

What?

Thank you, Arisa.

- That'll be enough for today. - Yes.

Excuse me.

Inukai, are you okay?

Yes, Masato has been that way since high school.

There's something I'm worried about...

I'm worried, too!

Everyone thinks I'm a loser. They call me "Wetty."

- This isn't an American teen drama. - "Wetty?"

When I was talking to a girl in elementary school,

I started to sweat a lot.

When I told that story to the e-sports team,

the entire campus knew it the next day.

Sweating is part of social awkwardness, which means I get nervous.

I know I have to do something about it...

That must be hard,

but I'm worried about something else.

What?

It's about a student named Kouki Shikazono.

I haven't been able to get a hold of him for a week.

Do you know anything about it, Inukai?

Um... I don't know.

Just like you, he was a different kind of a nerd,

so I thought you might know something.

MUKURO POLICE DEPARTMENT

Captain!

That blood found at the Keiho University library

matched the DNA of that missing Kouki Shikazono.

Now it gets super interesting.

No one hardly ever steps in to that old library's basement.

You need to request entry, however!

There's no record of Kouki Shikazono's entry.

It looks like he snuck in there.

It's like he's to blame...

It gets more interesting.

This book was found there.

Isn't this cut amazing?

It's impossible to do this with a CNC laser cutter.

Did the culprit use an iron-cutting sword? Or the user of Destructo Disc?

Does that mean Krillin is the suspect?

By the way, who are you?

Sir! I'm Nico Suzuki, and I've been assigned to First Investigation Division.

It's seriously awesome that the best captain here is my mentor!

I'm thrilled!

- Suzuki. - Sir!

Get the report together.

Sir!

Kouki Shikazono?

The one who went missing?

Right! He was an occult fanatic.

He was a little different.

Take a look at this.

It's a screenshot of a Story

Kouki Shikazono posted before he went missing.

What do you think this is?

Ancient characters?

You sure are good, Hachi! I only understand bits and pieces of it,

but I'm thinking it's a spell for some ritual.

"Amanoenoma?"

"For those who seek love."

It looks like a spell to grant love.

Look at this.
