Synopsis: After forging the Pact of Crimson Hearts with the mysterious and dazzling Tachibana, Machio’s life takes a sudden turn—from mildly embarrassing to full-blown humiliating. The soul-thread that ties him to Tachibana now acts like a cosmic magnet... but instead of attracting noble allies or wise mentors, it only summons sadistic women with a twisted sense of affection! From gothic vampire ladies who want to "train" him like a pet, to overpowered exorcist girls who think making him dress in frilly outfits will "purify his spirit," Machio can't walk five steps without getting dragged into some new mortifying situation. Each encounter chips away at his dignity—and Nariyuki, being the best worst friend ever, documents it all for the memes. Meanwhile, Tachibana, secretly a little jealous but way too proud to admit it, tries to "protect" Machio... which somehow only makes the sadistic rivals more interested in stealing him away! As Machio struggles to uncover the mystery of their cursed bond, he must also survive a daily gauntlet of teasing, traps, and "punishment games" — all while desperately trying not to break the fragile soul-thread that now ties his fate to Tachibana’s. Because if he dies of humiliation… she does too. And so begins the most chaotic, ego-shattering love story across time.
