A 2012 manga written by Lynn Okamoto, the same author of Parallel Paradise.

Akita Saitou used to be friends with Subaru Kawana in their early childhood, but then her parents put her in a wealthy school, since they themselves were descended from nobles. Missing his childhood friend, Akita studied for years in a effort to get in the same high school as her by getting high notes, that he managed to. However, once he saw himself near Subaru again, she acted like he didn't exist.

Akita is saddened by this and don't know how to change this situation, until one day he overhear schoolgirls discussing about an weird ritual that would allow someone to get the services of a god on exchange of a price. Akita executes the ritual, wishing for his room to be connected to Subaru's, and it becomes real. The god then appears and asks for a price. Akita expects to pay something but instead the god takes Subaru's self control, and soon she is spilling out her feelings (and sexual desires) towards him.

Now, the two must deal with this weird situation that happens everyday.
