Crunchyroll gave this description of the original manga, which was created by Satoshi Mizukami:
“Asamiya Yuuhi was an ordinary college student… until the day a lizard showed up and asked him to help save the world. The next thing he knows, he’s been given a ring and special powers, plus an enemy stalking him. However, he’s saved in the nick of time by the Girl Next Door, Samidare, who’s planning… WHAT kinds of things?! This is an unconventional story that mixes ordinary life with the bizarre and supernatural!”
And good news — Mizukami has said that the anime will adapt the whole of the manga, so fans won’t be left hanging with a partial adaptation.
