Sakura has learned the shocking truth: The Holy King and the Demon King are twins! One of their parents was a demon and the other was a human, and thanks to that, the magic of one repels the other.

Whenever Sakura is near the Demon King, her heart races. She's trying to keep her distance, but that’s easier said than done when she's a key part of the fifth anniversary celebration for the Demon King’s reign. As her anxiety grows, Milia and Noah think they know the cause of her distress… Sakura knows that one day she will return home. But before they can confront her feelings, the Sacred See sends a desperate request for Saint Sakura’s aid!

For Takatsuki Sakura, a trip to the library turns into a fantastical journey. She has been swept away to a grandiose castle ruled by a gorgeous demon king. Magic and wonder covers every room. Taking it in, Sakura can hardly breathe… because of all the dust and dirt. A curse has prevented this kingdom from cleaning. Only Sakura and her housekeeping knowhow can scrub away this dark magic grime!

Sakura loves when everything is neat, clean, and in its place. She's on the school Beautification Committee and spends every spare moment mopping or dusting to keep things tidy and perfect. When Sakura is transported to a fantasy world, she's immediately flabbergasted by how dirty everything is! The land is under a curse which prohibits cleaning magic, and the residents have really let things go. Even the demon king's castle is a complete mess. Sakura isn't going to stand for it. She'll put this kingdom in order, even if it means working directly with the intimidatingly attractive demon king himself!

A HERO TO SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET!Even when she finds herself in an unknown land as the guest of a demon king, Sakura can’t help herself from scrubbing the whole castle top to bottom. She’s making the castle as sparkling as her smile, until a hero crashes through the window! He’s here to rescue Sakura from the suddenly possessive demon king. Doesn’t he realize he is tracking mud all over the floor?!

Sakura’s been kidnapped from the Demon Realm and sold to the Sacred See! But ever the paragon of positivity, Sakura settles into her new role of scrubbing sage faster than she can roll up her sleeves. That is, until a young woman named Jerica appears - and some people are convinced that she’s the real Housekeeping Saint! When a stubborn stain stumps Sakura, her reputation and trustworthiness end up being smudged and tarnished. That distrust is leading to rebellion. Rebellion that may interfere with any rescue plans the Demon King might have!

MOLD VS MIGHT!The demon realm’s jungle might hold the key to breaking the anti-cleaning curse. But Sakura and her crew won’t be able to investigate just yet. All the contestants in a jungle-wide tournament are falling ill! An aggressive jungle mold is sucking the life out of the jungle denizens. Sakura quickly springs to action to save the day, only to discover this magical mold is built of stronger stuff than she’s used to!

But the Mermaid Queen becomes smitten with Sakura, and the housekeeping saint finds herself trapped underwater with a fishtail! It’s up to the Demon King to dive to her rescue. Will this deep water adventure finally make Sakura realise her deep seated feelings?

RUSTY STAINS AND RAGE-FILLED HEARTSSakura was called to the Saint King's home to deal with a mysterious rust that is spreading through the Sacred See. This rust doesn't just effect objects, but also human emotions and will--it's even made the Saint King act strangely. Sakura wants to act fast, but an anti-demon group thinks she's to blame for the curse. They kidnap her before she can even try to polish up the kingdom's metals. Now her demon friends have to find her before this hateful group can put her to death!

CLEANING UP HATE Although the Rust of Sorrow has been stopped, anti-demon organizations are increasing their venomous outrage.

And will it help improve demon and human relations? AGE RANGE: This Adult title has crossover appeal with YA audiences (rated Teen 13 ).
