Story
Tomoe becomes enrolled in the Kage Academy after accidentally running into the demon's night parade, but she doesn't realize the demons are real. She is attempting to turn her transcripts in late, but the night parade blocks her path to the school. A demon named Masami sees her and promises to deliver her transcripts for her as the Dean's daughter. Masami takes her transcripts to the Kage Academy instead and Tomoe is accepted to the school.

Tomoe struggles to accept the existence of the school and has a panic attack on her first day. In the bathroom, she meets Hanako who eventually calms her and encourages her to stay in the school. Hanako agrees to help Tomoe succeed.

When she gets home, Tomoe talks with her parents about the school. She finds out that her father is actually a saint and her mother is part of a legacy of chefs that prepares divine offerings. Her parents tell her that they are proud of her for being accepted to the prestigious Kage Academy and also recommend her to stay in the school.

In class, Tomoe is bulled and ostracized by most of the demons. She beomes friends with Tousuke, an umbrella demon, during the first few weeks of class exercises, but Tousuke is also on the social fringe of the class.

The teacher announces the exhibition matches early in the semester and Tomoe plans with Hanako how to defeat her first opponent Shishita. By scaring the oni during his cooking, they cause him to mess up his recipe and weaken his meal. This ultimately leads to Tomoe's victory when Shishita is unable to use his full strength, which gives Tomoe the advantage she needs to beat him.

After the exhibition matches, Tomoe receives the nickname Oni-Giri for defeating Shishita.

Weapons
Giant's Toothpick - In her first competition she briefly uses a giant's toothpick to fight Shishita.

Giant's Knife - Tomoe usually wields a Devil Metal knife in combat that she took from a giant's cutlery set. The knife is stronger than steel.
