Plot
Ever since he was a child, Takuma Akutsu had a scary face. He was shunned by his classmates and only attracted bad attention, such as the likes of gangsters and thugs. As a result, he developed social anxiety, unable to properly converse with people. This fact and his scary face only proceeded to exacerbate his bad reputation and he was known as a demon. One day, Takuma saves Natsuki and receives a revelation from Óðinn, the lord of Ásgarðr, that the world will end soon and that it is on Takuma's shoulders to save the world. To help him with his mission, Óðinn sends his nine daughters, the nine Valkyries, down to Miðgarðr/Earth. Óðinn then gives him his mission: he is to prove that love will save the world as it is said that the source of a maiden's strength is love.
