Cursed Hearts

An arranged marriage, deadly Beasts, and three dangerously charming men!

■Synopsis■

In a world where Japanese tradition and Western culture coexist, terrifying creatures known as Beasts threaten the capital each night. To fight them, hunters called the Mystic Guardians protect the city using powerful magic.

After losing your mother in a Beast attack, you dedicate your life to becoming a Guardian alongside your childhood friend, Suguru. Even without magical abilities, your hard work and combat skills allow you to stand among the academy’s top students.

As graduation approaches, everyone expects you to inherit your father’s role as leader of the Mystic Guardians. Instead, he chooses Suguru as successor and suddenly arranges your engagement to the distant and mysterious Prince Akihisa.

At the same time, your carefree classmate Ryo becomes fascinated by ancient research connected to the Beasts after discovering his father’s old journal. As strange incidents begin spreading throughout the capital, the three boys become increasingly tied to the mysteries surrounding the creatures you have sworn to defeat.

As dangerous missions continue and hidden truths slowly come to light, your bond with them begins to deepen.

Can love survive in a world ruled by fear and monsters?
