Synopsis:
Tsugumo was given a second chance after dying as a fox cub and was reborn for the sake of becoming a god. Yet, he’s still young and innocent, unfamiliar with the reality of the world. Thankfully, there’s Yoichi the tanuki, a guardian deity for the forest who takes Yoichi into his care. But Tsugumo’s naivete leads him to see Yoichi’s kindness as love and professes his feelings to the forest guardian. Tsugumo, who has lived for so long protecting the forest, hasn’t felt love in ages. Could this be his chance to follow feelings he thought he’d long since sealed off?

Synopsis:
In a student council filled with weirdos, one new member is about to have a hell of a school year! Mizunoe Ume just wanted to avoid repeating a grade when he joined the student council. After all, it seemed like an easy fix to his current academic problems. But then, he met his fellow council members. Each of them is eccentric in their own way—one’s an airhead, another’s scary, one’s secretly a pervert, but all in all, they’re just really weird! Yet somehow, they’re also oddly cute and endearing. Which means Mizunoe is stuck with them and all the chaos they bring to the table. Get ready for a slice-of-life manga that’s irresistibly charming, quirky, and a little bit naughty!
