Plot
In the fantastical realm of Álfheimr, 10-year-old succubus princess Astaratte Ygvar, the heir to the kingdom of Ygvarland. In succubus society, age ten marks a critical turning point: it is when a young succubus is expected to begin forming a male harem. Unlike vampires who rely on blood, succubi sustain their body and preserve their beautiful appearance by absorbing male essence. In early puberty, a simple light kiss is sufficient; however, as they mature into young adulthood, they come to require a substance known as "sáðfryma," better known as semen, to sustain themselves. The harems they form ensure a steady and readily available source of the liquid.The princess is a paradoxical figure. Despite the societal expectation to develop a harem, she exhibits a strong disdain for men. Determined to subvert tradition, she decrees that her harem must include a human male, an almost impossible condition given that widespread belief that humans have long been extinct. Contrary to these legends, her loyal followers manage to locate Naoya Tohara, who is brought into the monster realm together with his daughter Asuha, This unexpected encounter sets off a chain of events that challenges both social norms and the nature of identity within a multicultural, magical setting.
