3	''Demon Love Spell'' (Japanese: あやかし恋絵巻, ''Ayakashi Koi Emaki'') is a manga series by Creator/MayuShinjo about a shrine maiden that finds herself falling for a demon that feeds on passion and love. Shinjo initially wrote ''Spell'' in 2008 as a two part installment manga for ''Margaret'' magazine, but chose to serialize the series in 2009 due to the story's popularity; the manga concluded in 2014. In 2012 Viz Media licensed the manga with the intention to publish it in English through their Shojo Beat imprint and released the first volume in December of that same year.

5	The series follows Miko Tsubaki, a young shrine maiden living with her family. She's frustrated that she's unable to contribute much to the family business, as she has little apparent supernatural abilities and cannot easily see or banish spirits. She eventually runs into Kagura, an incubus that has been feeding on the female students at Miko's school: she manages to seal him, but in the process turns him into a chibi, lower powered version of himself. Whoops?

7	Miko initially tries to keep him secret from her family, but they inevitably discover Kagura but allow him to remain with Miko due to his small size. Meanwhile, Kagura has shown the ability to enter Miko's mind while she's sleeping, where he is able to assume his full size; he uses this as an opportunity to attempt to seduce Miko and recover some of his powers, with some success... In the meantime, however, they must learn to team work and banish all the other {{youkai}} that are showing up in their surroundings!

10	!!Demon Love Spell has some tropes...
11
12	* AllMenArePerverts: Dammit, Kagura.
13	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When Miko finally gains enough power to see {{youkai}}, she's not sure she likes it.
14	* BigDamnHeroes: When Miko is brainwashed by the demon Katori, her ActionDad comes to the rescue.
15	* ChivalrousPervert: Kagura develops into this after he falls in love with Miko.
16	* CutenessProximity: Kagura's SleepModeSize is THAT adorable.
17	* DemonicPossession:
18	** Played for laughs when Miko gets possessed by a succubus. Neither she nor Kagura notice because the succubus was too weak to do anything but attract a few really desperate guys.
19	** Not so funny when the student council president gets possessed by a demon that proceeds to eat Miko's soul.
20	* DreamWeaver: Kagura can only assume his full size when he enters Miko's dreams. [[PowerPerversionPotential Hm...]]
21	* FetishizedAbuser: Kagura is a horndog that invades and seduces Miko in her dreams (which she doesn't remember). Also, he has never shown any remorse about feeding on other girls' sexual desires and erasing their memories afterward. If you compare ''Demon Love Spell'' to Mayu Shinjo's other works, it's a {{downplayed}} example.
22	* HandsomeLech: Kagura. To be expected since, as an incubus, he gains strength and power by feeding off the lust of females.
23	* IOweYouMyLife: Miko manages to keep her dad from exorcising Kagura by telling him how he had saved and protected her.
24	* InterSpeciesRomance: Miko (human) and Kagura ({{youkai}}).
25	* IntimateHealing: Sooooort of. Kagura can get some of his powers back by getting PDA [[DeusSexMachina and probably some more]], so when he enters Miko's dreams AKA the only spot where he regains his adult form, he transforms them in {{erotic dream}}s.
26	* KidWithTheLeash: Miko is this to Kagura.
27	* LargeHam: Miko gets... VERY loud when she meets Kagura and tries to exorcise him.
28	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: One of Kagura's powers, which he uses on the girls who were his victims before Miko exorcised him.
29	* LighterAndSofter: Compared with Shinjo's other series, this one has ''some'' fewer RapeTropes in its plot. Also, Kagura is nowhere in the league of the physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive [[Manga/SensualPhrase Sakuya]] and [[Manga/HaouAiren Hakuron]].
30	* {{Miko}}: And one named... Miko.
31	* MuggleBornOfMages: Miko sees herself as such, and she's not happy about it. It turns out she ''does'' have some genuine power, but it can only be drawn out by touching Kagura and team-working with him.
32	* PapaWolf: Miko's father debuts by showing up at her school and banishing a demon that had been attacking her.
33	* PluckyGirl: Miko, who is more self-aware and outspoken than the usual Shinjo heroines.
34	* ReallyGetsAround: Due to being an Incubus, Kagura was this by nature, but he becomes solely focused on Miko after they meet.
35	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Kagura's tiny form, to the point that Miko's parents don't mind that an incubus is sleeping in their daughter's room.
36	* SleepModeSize: Miko seals Kagura's powers away and as a result he becomes a smaller version of himself.
37	* {{Tsundere}}: Miko. Kagura flat out states that she is, and that he prefers her that way.
38	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: When Chibi!Kagura and Miko are attacked by another {{youkai}} in the first episode, Miko puts Kagura inside her cleavage to fight better. Logically, she doesn't really like the idea.
39	* {{Youkai}}: Kagura is one of them, and supposed to be among the most powerful. Naturally, many others show up.
