Demon Sacred is a manga written and illustrated by Natsumi Itsuki.

Plot

The story begins with Rena and her husband Ichijima Ryota who are on their honeymoon in Finland. There, they see a lot of unicorns. When Rena touches one, it turns into a man with the appearance of Mika Valaska, her idol music composer. Her husband and the rest of the tour group she is with vanish when the unicorns touch them, leaving only their clothes behind.
Many years later, Shinobu, a scientist, is taking care of the two daughters of Rena, Mona and Rina. Rina is experiencing the mysterious "return syndrome" which causes people to vanish. Shinobu is doing everything he can to find out how to reverse the effects and save her, but has so far been unsuccessful. Suddenly, Mika appears and tells the trio that he knows of a way to save Rina; however, it would require calling more demons into the world.

Humans

;Return Syndrome
The phenomenon in which people on Earth that are not "Chains" disappear after coming into contact with a demon.
;Chain
People who have the ability to summon demons to obey. They give a demon its name and appearance and are able to command the demon. Such people are very rare, about 1 in 100,000~1,000,000. They are also immune to Return Syndrome. Furthermore, the following principals concerning "Chains" hold true:
  1. A demon cannot go against the sincere wishes of its "Chain."
  2. A "Chain" may bound many demons. As a result, demons often seek "Chains" bound to other demons after detecting their presence.
  3. A demon cannot bind to a "Chain" already bound to a demon of higher rank, since the higher-ranked demon would eat the lower-ranked demon before it can attempt to bind to the "Chain" out of possessiveness.
  4. A demon cannot bind to another "Chain" so long as its "Chain" is still alive.
  5. A demon cannot hurt or kill its own "Chain"
;Sacred
A "Chain" special to each individual demon that is able to grant the demon "death" through words of love.
