The Flower and the Devil

花と悪魔

On a winter day in early-twentieth-century Japan, the demon Vivi returns home to find an abandoned infant crying on his doorstep. When the baby meets his eyes and breaks into a smile his butler Tony compares to a flower, Vivi takes her in on a whim and names her Hana. Years later the screaming infant has grown into a cheerful young woman, and Vivi finds himself caught between his role as her guardian and his own deepening attachment, even as Hana keeps living as though their natures aren't worlds apart.
