Yugata Tanabe – författare

Once upon a time, there was an elderly woman. She lived alone, save for a darling black cat that she doted on. After many years, the cat finally gained the ability to transform-“Look, mistress! I’ve turned into a human. Now I can repay your kindness!” Alas, the kitty was just a little too late to help her owner. Legend has it she now wanders the Demon Realm, looking for a place where she belongs…And so begins the tale of Sumire the nekomata and her splendid work as a monster maid!

At the end of her wandering, Sumire the nekomata found herself in the company of a spirited android and a compassionate undead. Led by the sweets-loving elder prince, the team of monster maids travels across the Demon Realm outsmarting mad scientists and rescuing damsels in distress. However, unbeknownst to them, trouble is brewing, as word of their exploits has reached the ears of the demon king’s underlings…

Sumire has settled into her place among the employees of Cirsium Domestic Staffing Agency quite nicely—between dealing with magic gone wild and unmasking predators, she’s become an integral part of their strange little family. But family can be rather complicated, and as the demon king’s minions close in on their prey, the sparks of an age-old feud between two brothers threaten to engulf the Demon Realm once more…

Unbeknownst to the employees of Cirsium Domestic Staffing Agency, the demon king’s maid corps have finally uncovered their identities and swiftly set a trap for them—one that Ivy and Sumire run straight into! With Ivy kidnapped and the clock ticking, the time has come for Rose to tell Sumire the tale of three peculiar misfits and the world that conspired against them.
