Rainbow Dreams follows Luka Sanguis, a college student abruptly married to a goddess named Myra Orbis, who descends to the human world. Balancing his mundane life with divine responsibilities, Luka must confront daemons and unravel the mysteries of Myra’s past while navigating comedic misunderstandings. The narrative’s blend of slice-of-life humor and supernatural action creates a unique charm, though some players note underdeveloped subplots.
