Raw Chapter 61 — Makutsu No Ou Yomei Ichi Kagetsu No Doutei Mahou Shoujo Harem Wo Kizuite Ou He Kunrinsu Link

The voice offered a bargain: one full lunar cycle of uncanny power in exchange for binding himself to a dozen fated girls—each a would-be magical girl whose souls were fractured by a curse. Bind them, free them, and at the end, Makutsu no Ō would either crown him or devour him. Link, weary of a humdrum life and curious beyond good sense, accepted. On the first night, the sigil burned and the city’s lights melted away. Twelve doors appeared in Link’s small apartment—each a spill of colored light and a scent of something broken. He opened the nearest and found Yomei: a quiet florist who’d lost the bloom of her magic to a barbed thorn-crown. Where her laughter should have been there were only safe, practical gestures. Link offered the sigil’s pact, and under the moon she accepted because acceptance felt like permission to feel anything at all.
