Make the Exorcist Fall in Love centers around a nameless priest, who from birth has been trained and abused by the Catholic church to defeat demons, to the point that he followed the Bible literally and did cast his eye out while fighting the demon of lust. Advised by his mentor that he is too self-sacrificial, the Church receives a message from Satan stating that he intends for the creator of "The Gallery of Evil" to visit him in Gehenna.

Imuri is kind and loving towards the priest, but this is because Imuri holds a secret…
