Tendo Yoshimi is the farthest thing from an angel you can think of. Dressed in black from head to toe, he loves to tease and often acts rashly. He can work neither magic nor miracles. So, why should a down-on-himself pessimist like Shiro believe him when Tendo predicts he will die if he doesn’t complete the tasks set out for him? Starring Jinnai Takanori, Matsuoka Masahiro, Okina Megumi.
