Machi de Uwasa no Tengu no Ko (Everybody talks about the Tengu girl). Akihime, a daughter of a Tengu (a Japanese legendary goblin) at Mt. Ryokuho-zan, takes a break from Tengu training and is enjoying the life of an ordinary high school girl to thefullest, having fun with dating, school festivals, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and White Day. Her life is an emotional roller-coaster as she suffers from unrequited love and gets excited about moving into a new class. But it's about time that she needs to begin a full Tengu training. A little unordinary but bittersweet life of a Tengu giri.
