During his childhood, Masamune Makabe was subjected to immense suffering at the hands of a beautiful and wealthy girl named Aki Adagaki, who gave him the nickname "Piggy" due to his chubby appearance. To seek revenge against his tormentor, Masamune works hard to better himself and returns to high school as an extremely attractive but narcissistic student. He meets Aki again and is determined to take his revenge. With the help of Yoshino Koiwai, Aki's maid, Masamune gradually builds a rapport with Aki, intending to break her heart when the time is right. But as he grows closer to Aki, Masamune begins to question the morality of his plans and whether bringing them to fruition is truly what he wants deep down.
Chika and Masaomi share a unique bond having grown up together with single parents. They frequently spent time together until Chika's mother's untimely demise precipitated her move to live with family members elsewhere, thereby separating her from Masaomi. However, in a bold move, Masaomi suggested that they become a legitimate couple, with all the benefits and responsibilities that come with marriage, including intimacy on all levels. He sought Chika's opinion on the matter and she must now tender her response.
From CPM: The Devil's Castle was a dark and somber place, until the good-hearted apprentice ASARELLA stumbled on it in a goodwill mission, against her master's wishes--the archmage ELIHUE. Things sour quickly, as Asarella was bound with a blood pact to the Devil, KAINEN. Little did she know, the mage harbors a secret love for her that will only complicate her training for the upcoming apocalyptic battle. This sets up the most unusual love triangle of all space and time.
From Evil Flowers: Although this was released after the 12 volumes of Masca, it is a prequel to the main story. It shows how Caien became a demon lord, about his relationship with Rakin, The King of Speira, and the love triangle between the 2 with the beautiful Rea of the mascan race. Asarella also apears, but the story seems to be concentrating more on Rakin and Rea.
Did you think Masca: The Tale of the Great Mage of Hessed was over? Masca: the Kings is the sequel of Masca, in which Asarella goes on a journey to save Kainen. However, the first two volumes focus quite a bit on the development between Rea and Rakin (Kainen's beautiful ex(?) and another demon king).
