Plot
The chair of the discipline committee at Tama Municipal Votive Academy, popular and athletic female student Kanan Takakiyo, is actually a demon coming from the demon world to devour human souls. One day, Kanan targets and summons a junior student, Yōji Kyōgi, but Yōji falls in love with her and, after much pushing around, they end up going out together. Kanan, who is new to romance, is charmed by the assertive Yōji, and is drawn to him. Kanan and Yōji are also joined by Ami, Kanan's maid, and Jeanne, a clumsy apostle of God from the heavenly realm.

Kanan is surprised she likes Youji using her first name. Youji tries to plan a date but Kanan assumes he is talking about sex, so she rejects his suggestions of doing it in public places and demands it be his bedroom, only realising her mistake after already agreeing. Youji asks to hold hands, but being inexperienced Kanan believes this causes pregnancy, so she ties his hands together, accidentally exciting him. Youji buys croquettes for them and Kanan is amazed by how good they are, then remembers a lesson her father Beelzebub taught her; eating with someone else makes food taste better. | ||||||

Ami immediately senses Youji's powerful soul and tries to seduce him, until Kanan jealously claims he is her boyfriend. Ami is thrilled, but also surprised Youji shows no interest in her. Ami begins draining vitality from students, annoying Kanan as she has been working to keep their souls pure and Ami has already tainted them. Kanan demands Ami keep her succubus activities off school property but worries that Youji will be seduced by her. She enlists Youji onto the Disciplinary Committee to keep an eye on him, but helping others only makes him more popular with girls.

Unfortunately, Youji avoids letting her touch him, with Kanan eventually realising she was so nervous choosing an outfit she forgot to wear a bra. She awkwardly claims she did it on purpose to impress him, then is horrified that he wants to touch them. Over lunch she tries to be mean to him, but Youji is just happy to see her smiling.
