Black Bird, v. 1 by Kanoko Sakurakoji

Misao has always seen things that no one else can.  As she ages, the demons that only she can see are growing in number.  When she turns 16, a demon attacks her and she is rescued by childhood friend Kyo who heals her wounds by licking them.

It turns out Misao is the bride of prophecy.  Demons want to drink her blood to gain power.  Kyo, however, wants to marry her to bring prosperity to his clan.


This manga series is for older teens.  At heart, it is a romance with Misao having to decide whether she loves Kyo and whether Kyo actually loves her.
