Numa no Himemiko

As the commanding mistress of Tatara Swamp, Himemiko carries an effortless authority that commands respect among spirits. Yet beneath her composed and noble exterior lies a surprisingly tender heart — one that has harbored feelings for a human boy named Urashima ever since a chance encounter a decade ago. Determined to reunite with him, she sought the help of her cherished friend, the land god Nanami, and disguised herself as a human girl named Himeko to rekindle their connection. Her blossoming romance across the boundary of humans and yokai, alongside the genuine bond she shares with Nanami, reveals a side of her that is deeply sincere and emotionally pure.
