Can a Nonhuman Get a Happy Ending with 83-Year-Old Senior Itadori?

[The first ten chapters have been rewritten, so there are differences. Here's the new blurb.]

I fell in love at first sight with a senior who has pink hair.

But why does that senior always look troubled when he says things? I don't mind, though. He doesn't look much older than me, so I decided to work hard and get into the same high school as him. He never talks about this, though.

After that, I secretly found out where he studied and where he lived. What's strange is that the scars on his face would often disappear. But I didn't mind, because no matter what he looked like, Itadori-senpai was still my favorite.

But I never expected that his school would be so different from what I'd imagined.

With my excellent network of informants, I found out where it was, only to discover that Senpai had enrolled in a technical college!

But Senpai was still amazing. I just didn't know why he was always fighting the air, or why he could use the special move where he choked himself.

So Senpai can use magic! No wonder he goes to a technical college. To protect his secret, I have to work hard too.

Then one day, Senpai slicked back his hair like an adult and said a bunch of incomprehensible things with black markings all over his head.

No, that wasn't Senpai.

That wasn't my Senpai.

Then one day, I saw Senpai was about to lose. I grabbed my little stun baton and ran over to beat up the air.

It worked perfectly.

I became a magical girl, too!

Itadori met a very lively junior.

She was like a little sun, never getting discouraged or giving up. Sometimes, he drew strength from her, too.

He thought the way she cheered, "Go, Itadori-senpai!" was adorable.

Until one day.

When she came to him holding something, she grabbed her own face, her eyes red as blood.

"Get out."

Her expressionless face, her gaze dark and icy, made her look like a curse in the night.

"You're not Itadori-senpai."

"Get out of his body."

But what no one could have anticipated was this:

That lively, adorable junior always called his name in a cloying voice, as if it were filled with uncountable love.

Those words...

Itadori lifted his head and cupped that love, brimming with darkness, in his hands.
