How to Befriend a Demon

A spicy fantasy BL manga about an arrogant demon and the meek, gloomy boy who summoned him!

Raine gets overly obsessed with the things he loves. As a result, he doesn't have even a single friend! But that's not a problem for our little Riane! If he doesn't have any friends, he'll just have to make them.

Raine's idea is to summon a cute little demon to be friends with! But what appears is something far from cute...a large, sturdy build and an arrogance that matches his grand stature...the demon, Luchatra! If he doesn't fulfil his contract—to become friends with this human—he'll be sent straight back to the demon realm. But unfortunately, our cocky demon doesn't know the first thing about being friends...so he jumps to the only thing he knows—kissing and touching the innocent Raine! Will Raine finally make his first friend? Or will the demon he summoned actually end up being something even more?
