Juuni Kokuki

Synopsis: Youko Nakajima just wanted to be normal. She does what she asked her, gets good grades, is the president of the class and even helps her classmates whenever she can - but because of her red hair, she never fitted. With her Pushver's attitude, Youko lets her classmates enjoy her, so she has no one she can really call her friend.

But on an ordinary day, a man who claims to be from another world invades Youko's classroom and bends before her. This elegant blond -haired man, Keiki, states that Youko is his master and belongs to the throne of his kingdom. However, their first date is interrupted, as Keiki was followed by beasts from another world named Youma. He is able to escape Youko to his own kingdom, but two other classmates - Tikuya Asano and Yuka Sugimoto - are caught in madness as well. Unfortunately, their problems just started, because the Youma attack leaves them separated from Keiki. Alone on this strange new land, these ordinary students must learn to defend or die.
