Shuijian Xuanguang is the adopted son of a great snow demon. Though he isn't a pure-blooded demon, other demons often mock him for his true form. To discover where he came from, he sets off on a journey.
But the world beyond the barrier of Shuijian Mountain isn't quite what he imagined...
The strongest sorcerer: Huh? Coffee jelly can become a cursed spirit?
The boy who inherited a friend's notebook and the middle-school girl who regularly travels through the Bone-Eating Well: I-it's a jelly monster! ×2
The newly appointed young goddess of matchmaking: Could he be a divine servant brought to life?
The genius scientist who wants nothing more than to defeat his psychic younger brother: You're a coffee-jelly-flavored slime alien from outer space! You must be Kusuo's weakness!
Shuijian Xuanguang: Am I a cursed spirit, a demon, or an alien? That's the question... Wait, who are you?!
Pink-haired psychic: How about we make a deal? Just one taste.
Shuijian Xuanguang: No way. Give it up. Even if I melt or get roasted dry, I, the great Xuanguang, will never let a human eat me. Not even a lick!
Later: It really is delicious.
Kusuo Saiki never thought he would develop feelings for anyone. After all, with his X-ray vision, if he looked at anyone long enough, all he saw was a human anatomy model.
Until one day, across a sea of people, he spotted a boy with creamy-colored hair. Beneath that human shape, he saw a body filled with glistening, silky coffee-colored jelly, with pure white condensed milk coursing through it like blood. A sweet, slightly bitter aroma wafted toward him.
Psychic God: Delicious.
Much later, Psychic God earnestly explained, "I really was looking at his insides."
Shuijian Xuanguang: That sounds like a horror story. Heh.
Reading Guide:
1. Kusuo is the love interest. Kusuo × Coffee Jelly is canon!
2. A silly comedy. The protagonist seems aloof on the outside but is tsundere inside. No angst, just a sweet, everyone-loves-the-protagonist story. It may feature a few strange series, but you can still enjoy it even if you haven't read them.
3. The protagonist's true form is coffee jelly. He's not a demon, cursed spirit, shikigami, or alien. It's a pretty ridiculous setup, and you can probably guess the truth.
