Goodreads Synopsis:

A modern-day girl gets whisked away to a strange land where she is sacrificed to a water dragon god!

In the blink of an eye, a modern-day girl named Asahi is whisked away from her warm and happy home and stranded in a strange and mysterious world where she meets a water dragon god!

Asahi is captured by a human who’s using the god of darkness to take over the world! Trapped in the underworld, Asahi resolves to figure out the true intention of this ruthless boy while the water dragon god and Subaru form a tag team to try and save her!

Review:

In the first half of the volume, we get to see how Asahi deals with being locked in darkness, and what kind of connection she has with both Subaru and the Water Dragon God. She has come a long way since she was first transported here and taken by the Water Dragon God. At this point, when faced with a cruel god, she doesn't cower anymore. It's really nice to see how far she's come.
But then we're left with a cliffhanger, as the second half of the volume is taken up with backstory on these new characters. It's interesting to see the boy and the god of the underworld, to see how he got there and what a different life he's had when compared to Asahi. They're very similar, but with very different perspectives, I think.
I really need to know what happens next between Asahi and the Water Dragon God. I'm so hooked.
