Mahiru Shiraishi was never an average girl, she can give other people incredibly good luck just by touching them (a fact she sometimes thinks attributes to her lack of such fortune - she gave it all away). And when she has recurring dreams of a demon with fierce eyes, her life is turned upside down. Enter the Lunar Race, and the demons Mitsuru, Nozomu, Misoka and Akira. Mahiru suddenly becomes an object of treasured value in the battle between demon and human.
Mahiru is a highschool junior who has the unfortunete luck of having bad luck. She loves to swim and collect plushies of aquatic animals. One day though, she finds four members of the lunar race. Or rather they find her for a very special reason.
Mitsuru Suou is a tengu who controls wind and electricity as well has having the power to fly. He is the most adamant against Mahiru helping them but he does have a very good reason for it. He is also very hot-tempered which often makes it difficult for him to keep his transformation under control when he gets mad.
Nozomu Moegi is the smooth talking, affectionate vampire of the group. He becomes very protective of Mahiru naturally and even has a bat follow her around so as to be alerted of any danger. Nozomu uses bats for spying and keeping in contact with the others.
Misoka Asagi is a fox demon who has hypnosis and transformations as his power. While he is very short compared to the other members (don't bring it up in front of him), he is actually the oldest and the unspoken leader. He is level-headed and quick thinking.
Akira Yamabuki is the resident comedian and werewolf so of course he has the super-speed/strenght/hearing/smell of his breed. He also takes quite a shine to Mahiru at the beginning and usually is the one to whisk her away if the situation becomes too dangerous.
This series is very well done both in the storyline and the artwork. Definietly one of my faves. It delves into all the characters' younger years and really makes you sad over the plight of the lunar race and why Mahiru is so important. Excellent read.
