Wish is the story of good versus evil that plays out on Earth. One night Dr. Shuichiro Kudo rescues angel Kohaku from a crow sent from the devil. So begins the debt of gratitude that Kohaku must repay. The problem lies in the fact that the dreamy doctor has no need for wishes because he has everything he needs. Kohaku sticks around and tries to help Shuichiro out around the house but she messes things up more than she helps. She may be an angel, but she's a clumsy one.In confidence one night Kohaku reveals that she is also on Earth looking for one of the angel masters from Heaven, a woman who is also her mentor and is very dear to her. Time is running out to find her as there are strict rules about how long angels can remain on Earth. Meanwhile, beings from the underworld are conspiring against the angels.
Madam Hisui, the master angel, turns up while Kohaku and Koryu, a being from the underworld are about to battle and announces that she can no longer return to heaven because she has fallen for the son of Satan and the pair have consummated their affair. Book 1 ends with kind Dr. Kudo offering to house the lovers so that God will not be aware of the love affair.
