It contains multiple independent short stories, yet cleverly connects the protagonists of each story. There's bound to be one you'll enjoy!

Together, they embark on a fantastical adventure, revealing that demons aren't necessarily evil, and even immortals have their selfish desires. The third book tells the story of the four divine beasts helping humans and demons fulfill their unfinished wishes and resolve their inner conflicts.
