Astarotte "Lotte" Ygvar, first princess of the kingdom of Ygvar in the world of Alfheimr, has recently celebrated her 10th birthday. The 10th birthday is a very special one for girls like Astarotte, because Astarotte is a succubus -- traditionally, succubi begin forming their harem when they reach 10 years old.

Succubi, it turns out, require a steady supply of Sauzfryma, [[If You Know What I Mean|which only healthy young men can provide,]] in order to remain beautiful and healthy, much like how Vampires require a steady supply of blood. Unfortunately, Astarotte absolutely despises men -- so she makes a decree: Since her mother couldn't find a member of the lost "human" race for her own harem, she will only accept a human male for hers.

* [[Bleached Underpants]]: Yui Haga is best known for her ero-ren'ai and visual novel character designs, of which she tends to focus on [[Shota]]/[[Lolita]]/[[Puni Plush]] characters, although she was also the artist for the light novel and manga version of ''[[Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu]]''.
* [[Brains and Bondage]]: Amusingly, Judit. She has a BDSM dungeon which she shows off to Lotte when the latter wishes to "discipline" Naoya, something she gets downright frighteningly enthused about. Amusingly, she had a giant squeaky toy hammer on the wall next to whips and crops -- Guess which one Lotte picks? Becomes a minor [[Running Gag]] -- Lotte is seen bapping Naoya a few times with it throughout the series.

* [[Harem Seeker]]: Succubi can breed with any sentient species but have a low chance of giving birth to another succubus, so they [[Really Gets Around|make a harem]] to increase the chances of giving birth. That, and they survive on Sauzfryma (as in "semen") to maintain their bodies, much like a Vampire needs blood.

When Lotte suffers a [[Potty Failure]], Elika immediately takes off her panties to give to Lotte but Naoya gives her a spare pair he always carries around for Asuha. Hearing that Asuha often goes without underwear, Elika chides her about the indecency...all while she's still holding her panties in her hand.
