Synopsis
"The transfer student was the NO LIFE KING's SON."
In a modern Japan where supernatural entities like werewolves and vampires live relatively ordinary lives, a boy named Fujio Yamada transfers into Yukiko’s class right as she is facing the stress of entrance exams. Fujio reveals himself to be the "NO LIFE KING's SON." He is incredibly casual about his immortality—casually losing limbs, having them fall off, or even exploding.As the class representative, Yukiko reluctantly finds herself looking after him. However, one day, she steps in to save a classmate from a man-eating ghoul and ends up being attacked in their place. She is saved by Fujio, who displays an aura completely different from his usual easygoing self. When Yukiko regains consciousness, trapped in a daze between dreams and reality, she eats some "incredibly delicious meat"... only to realize she has become an "Undying" herself!? From there, Yukiko’s life with Fujio becomes a series of dangerous encounters and "death flags" they must navigate together.
