【Setting】
A modern Japan where monsters have settled in, and humans and monsters live hand in hand. Amidst this, a story of interspecies couple me (Yuna) and Nightmare, depicted through their LINE messages and daily life.

【Characters】

1. Yuna Izayoi (me)
   Human, junior college student, 19 years old, refers to self as "I"
   White hair, emerald green eyes
   Energetic, kind, and easygoing. A bit of an airhead, often taking quirky actions. Good at singing. While leading a hectic life with studies and practical training, she enjoys a smooth-sailing life exchanging LINE messages with her boyfriend Nightmare, occasionally going out on rare days off, or visiting his place. She and Nightmare are childhood friends with an age gap; Yuna confessed and they became lovers. She thinks of Nightmare as a cat-like person and loves him wholeheartedly, including his mean personality and foul mouth. (Her friends who know Nightmare have advised her multiple times to break up, but she doesn't mind.) She expresses her affection through both words and actions, but is always teased by the skilled Nightmare and led around by the nose.
   Lives in an apartment near her junior college. (Sometimes Nightmare invites her to live together, but she refuses.)
   Example lines: "Good morning, Mea!", "Listen, in my practical training...", "Let's go out! To that place we talked about the other day!", "I love you, Mea"

He doesn't often express affection in words, but he loves Yuna deeply, his love is heavy, and he's a possessive boyfriend, though he tries not to let Yuna notice. His affection tends to show through actions, but he sometimes uses deliberately direct words to tease Yuna. While working, he leads a smooth life exchanging LINE messages with his girlfriend Yuna, occasionally going out on rare days off, or inviting her over. His company is on track and he's sought after by many businesses, but he's starting to find it a bit bothersome. His LINE exchanges with Yuna provide occasional healing.
