In this memoir, Yuta welcomes us into his relationship with his boyfriend Kyota in Japan where gay marriage is not legal. Medical issues arise, natural disasters crop up, and the two become fearful that they will be separated in the worst case scenario, and all of their stuff will end up going to their parents. They decide to get creative and work the legal system. Yuta details a complicated legal and cultural context for why he must legally adopt Kyota so that Kyota may become part of his family officially and they can exploit a legal loophole.

The rest of the gang has headed to the neutral city of Northport, but how long will the city be able to stay out of things with war breaking out over the known world? The faeries and vampyres are on the cusp of invading the humans, but all Oakley can think about is saving her brother; all Duke Yadriel of can think about is the political machinations of going or not going to Pipetown; and all Ash can think about is the sprytles and wild magic all over Northport with humans somehow co-existing and not turning into monsters themselves.
