Plot
In the medieval fantasy world of Alfheimr, succubus princess Astarotte Ygvar, the first princess of the kingdom of Ygvar, has just reached the age of 10. For the coming years of a young succubus' life, it is necessary for them to have a male harem. In order to maintain their body and preserve their beautiful appearance, they must consume a substance only found on males. This substance is a liquid called Sauzfryma, better known as semen. The princess, however, bears a great dislike against men, and only agrees to create a harem if a human male is to join. The human male Naoya Tōhara is introduced to her to be a member of her harem.
Characters
- Astarotte "Lotte" Ygvar (アスタロッテ・ユグヴァール Asutarotte "Rotte" Yugubāru?)
- Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
- She is a succubus and the heroine of the series. When she turns ten years old, she is told that she will need to begin building a harem because when she fully matures her body will require a regular supply of semen to keep from wasting away, much as a vampire requires blood. Unfortunately, her mother's extreme excesses have led "Lotte" to develop a fierce hatred and disgust toward all men. She demands that the first member of her harem be a human from the human world, knowing that the Yggdrasill tree that connects them to the human world has been dormant for years and hoping that this demand would allow her to avoid the task entirely. She doesn't know her best friend Asuha is in reality her older sister Asuhariet.
- Naoya Tōhara (塔原 直哉 Tōhara Naoya?)
- Voiced by: Rina Satō
- He is the hero of the series. When the Yggdrasill tree activates and allows one of Lotte's servants to enter the human world, he is taken back to become the first member of Lotte's harem, much to Lotte's chagrin. He encountered Lotte's mother roughly eleven years ago when he was 12, and then again a few years later when she brought him Asuha, his daughter from said encounter.
- Asuha Tōhara / Asuhariet Ygvar (塔原 明日葉 Tōhara Asuha?)
- Voiced by: Yukari Tamura
- Asuha is 10 years old, like Lotte. She became Lotte's best friend, but always calls her "Princess" (Hime-chan). In reality she is the daughter of Naoya and Queen Mercelída, the "dead" first princess Asuhariet, princess Astarotte's older half-sister (the succubus incubation period is very short). She doesn't know her mother is the Queen and Lotte is her little sister.
- Mercelída "Mercie" Ygvar I (メルチェリーダ・ユグヴァール Merucherīda Yugubāru?)
- Voiced by: Yūko Minaguchi
- The mother of Lotte and Asuha. Mercelída is extremely promiscuous, even for a succubus. She once slept with a man from her harem while Lotte (who was 5 then), was in bed with her. This is slightly changed in the anime, so that instead of the man coming uncalled when Lotte was already in bed with her mother, he came when Astarotte was heading to her mother's room, so that her mother did not know she was there. The shock of this experience is identified as the origin of Astarotte's hatred toward men. It appears that she still has a crush for Naoya and she keeps in secret the fact she is the queen from Asuha, and from Lotte the truth about her older sister.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Exclamation of Our Meeting | "Gāru Mītsu Bōi" (ガール・ミーツ・ボーイ) | April 10, 2011[2] | Succubi are a race of beings who survive by having a harem of men from which they can suck 'life essence' from. However, Astalotte Ygvar, a young princess, hates men. When her advisor, Judith, pushes her to get some men for her harem, Astalotte decides she'll only accept a human male, since they have been deemed near impossible to find. To Astalotte's surprise, Judith manages to travel to the human realm and return with a 23 year old human boy named Naoya Tōhara, offering him the job for a high sum of money. |
| 2 | The First Semicolon | "Hajimete no semikoron" (初めてのセミコロン) | April 17, 2011 | Naoya is introduced to Astalotte, but she refuses to get along with him. Naoya learns that when Astalotte was young, she witnessed her mother, Mercelída Ygvar I, engage in indecent acts with one of her harem, causing her to develop a dislike for men and lose relations with her mother. Wanting to be able to make her feel less alone, Naoya makes a replica of Astalotte's favourite doll. The next day, Astalotte agrees to accept Naoya into her harem, on the condition that he be her 'toy'. |
| 3 | The Parentheses of Passing | "Sure chigai no pāren" (すれ違いのパーレン) | April 24, 2011 | Naoya brings his ten year old daughter, Asuha, to the succubi realm, which causes Astalotte to become agnostic towards Naoya, since it would mean he had sex when he was thirteen, though Asuha is quick to jump to Naoya's defense. Wanting to apologise to her, Asuha enrols into Astalotte's school, where she makes some new friends, Mist, Yuna and Lucca, who mention they haven't had the courage to be friends with Astalotte. As Asuha makes up with Astalotte, rumour spreads about a 'human male' on campus, which turns out to be a rampaging llama from a zoo. As it goes wild, Mist, Yuna and Lucca step in to defend Astalotte before Naoya manages to calm it down. Afterwards, Astalotte manages to make friends with the other girls, who nickname her 'Lotte'. |
