Dream Eater Merry

For the last ten years Yumeji Fujiwara's life has been getting progressively stranger, as his ability to predict what kind of dreams other people will have has gotten stronger and more reliable. When a beautiful girl suddenly drops on top of him. She tells Yumeji that her name is Merry and that she's a Dream Demon who needs to return to HER world!

Yumeji returns to the Real World. He takes the unconscious Merry to the Tachibana's for shelter and safety. After she awakens, Merry explains that a Dream Demon must have a human host to access the Real World, most of the time, the Dream Demon totally posses the human without giving them a choice. But sometimes, the Dream Demon coexists with the host, leaving the host aware and able to dictate their own actions.

Yumeji continues his search for Merry. Just as he's given up hope of being able to find her, he encounters a young girl named Minato. As fate would have it, Merry has also run into and befriended young Minato. It quickly becomes apparent that Minato has a "friend" that she only sees at night: a Dream Demon named Ichima. Yumeji and Merry have met Minato just in the nick of time as Ichima has decided to finally make her move on Minato's body. The two team up to defeat the Dream Demon, but Merry remains stuck in the Real World. Yumeji offers to use his ability to see people's dream auras to help Merry identify impending Dream Demon appearances. While Merry admits his ability would be useful to her, she turns him down flat. Meanwhile, in another place, a new Dream Demon is preparing an all out assault on reality.

While Isana attempts to make friends with Chizuru by inviting her for coffee, the Literary Club decides to go out to karaoke. Merry tags along and discovers two important things: 1) Yumeji can't sing; and 2) Mei Hoshino, captain of the Literary Club is getting a lot of mysterious emails.

When Isana sends Yumeji and Merry to the local mall to do some grocery shopping, the trip instead turns into an encounter with the most powerful Dream Demon they've met yet. But Engi ThreePiece isn't your typical Dream Demon. She's a Dream Demon with a mission - a mission that sounds suspiciously like what Merry is attempting to do

Merry and Yumeji manage to drive off Engi ThreePiece, but their victory comes at a price when Yumeji is severely wounded. Still, once they return to the Real World, Yumeji appears to fine physically, but he doesn't seem to do anything but sleep. And while he's sleeping he has another encounter with John Doe. However, this encounter is much more peaceful than the last.

It's time for a break, and Yumeji, Isana, Merry and all their friends head to the beach for some much needed R&R. Merry is still struggling with Engi ThreePiece's revelation that Dream Demons can neither return to, or be sent back to the Dream World. If that's true, Merry wonders what she's been doing. Yumeji tries to cheer Merry up and help her overcome her crisis of faith.

After the beach trip, Yumeji visits a local doctor, where he discovers the doctor's granddaughter is Yui, the girl possessed by Engi ThreePiece.

Merry and Engi are disturbed by Landsborough's taunts, so Yumeji ends the daydream, leaving Landsborough still in possession of his human vessel. Mr. Iijima reveals his true character as he preys on the dreams of high school students.

Yumeji enlists the aid of Engi and Yui to determine the intentions of Isana's Dream Demon. Despite her own Dream Demon's disdain, Chizuru is increasingly concerned about her new friend.

Yumeji and Engi learn that Palate is a harmless Dream Demon who's been stranded in the Real World, much like Merry. The problem with sending him back? He'll likely take Isana's dream of being an artist with him, whether he means to or not.

Final exams are over, and while most students are ready to enjoy their summer break, Yumeji and friends prepare to defend Isana from Mistltein.

It's the final battle against Mistltein. Can Yumeji and Merry to save Isana and her dream of becoming an artist?
