Chapter 1 Summary:

The morning for Odagiri Yume starts off roughly with her Dad leaving behind a note of running away, laying low due to a debt, a cake from her friend only to be dropped on the ground, she has to do a make up exam due to an error and to top things off; her crush now has a girlfriend.
Heading home, she notices a small girl running onto the road to retrieve a fallen apple as a car is coming. Yume quickly pulls the girl off the street, successfully saving her. A man appears with shopping bags calling out to the girl named Momo, and asks if they are alright. The Momo points to Yume and says she's the one that's hurts, and so Yume is invited to their house.

When they get to the Momo's house, Yume takes note of how elegant and rich the property was. Just then a handsome boy appears from the house and greets them, as Momo tells him to treat Yume's wound and give her some tea. He looks at Yume and replies bluntly that she doesn't look like she needs medical treatment.
Momo takes Yume into the terrace, where they introduce each other. Yume asks if she could adress her with 'chan'. She then asks if she is an elementary or a preschool student, when then Momo claims that she is The Devil. Thinking this was a game of "house", Yume explains how she thinks Momo looks more like a Princess than a Devil. She also confesses that she is somewhat jealous about how Momo lives in a beautiful how, gets to wear such a fitting dress and from head to toe she gives off an aura that she is a special girl. Momo then asks if Yume wants to be special too.
Suddenly, they are interrupted by Nanagi who tells her to drink her tea and go home. Furious, she gulps down the tea and heads off.

On the way home, Yume is greeted by who suddenly freaks out how he heard a cat in the box, which was in the river. Determined to save it, and knowing that Kanaka didn't know how to swim, Yume heads off into the river to retrieve the box....which only turned out to be a teddy bear inside of it. In rage she scolds her friend, only to then be pulled under and loosing consciousness.

Later on, Yume awakens only to find herself in different clothes and in a room she did not recognize.
And of course, is greeted by no other than Nanagi himself who asks if she is alright.
It turns out that she was rescued by Nanagi, who was called to help by Momo - and happened to be the one who changed her clothes.
Absolutely horrified from embarrassment she kicks him out and quickly gets dress while her friend Kanaka asks her to open up. She starts reviewing how horrible and miserable her day was, even though it's her birthday out of all things. She tells herself how not one good thing happened, for this world it would be better if it all ended, and even now it's too late.

Momo who happened to hear her thoughts tells her that she can grant her wish. Surprised and confused Yume opens the door to get a better exclamation of what Momo was talking about, finding herself in open mysterious space, also known as another dimension. Kanaka who happened to be there as well couldn't take this all in and just fainted.
Yume finds Momo floating and demands her what's going on, only to learn that Momo exists to destroy planets that don't have a good enough reason to exist.
As it turns out, Earth happens to be Momo's next target, and she has granted Yume's wish of being a special person as being the representative of Earth. Yume now must show her 7 sufficient reasons why this planet should live on. In other words, seven things that makes her (Yume) happy.
Yume decides to accepts that role as the representative, as then Momo explains that the deadline is in two years, which will be on Yume's 18th Birthday.

The countdown for the world destruction has begun.

First Impression:

Bleh, first I would like to apologize how terrible that summary was -_-*
I really, really, really liked this chapter! It's super cute and I absolutely adore Momo! I wanna hug her! She's so freaking adorable!!! I'm very amused how this will turn out. I am a sucker for fanasty and supernatural shoujo stories, and I can't wait to see how this whole thing is going to turn out.
What makes me wonder is, will it actually really take Yume 2 years to think about seven good things about Earth? But then again, what would you do if you were in such position as her?

Anyhow, I'm actually up to chapter 10, which I'll do a jump entry on. (ahaha, like I'm doing with La Corda d'Oro since I'm way over at chapter 60 over there, and I'm not about to do 60 entries on each chapter right this second. > <*) Anyhow, it's really cute and with the current pace right now, I really recommand you to read it if you are a Shoujo fan, Fanasty lover, and of course: a sucker to cute things.
