open/close all folders Humans Sora Kashiwagi

The protagonist, a high school student who lives with his aunt while his father travels the world in search of supernatural oddities. He owns the little mummy Mii-kun.

• Action Survivor: It's shown that his initial fear of Mii-kun was due to his dad sending him various supernatural entities in the past that tried to kill him. When Mii-kun opens his casket, Sora's first instinct is to find something to use as a weapon. It ultimately leads to him having the most knowledge of mythical creatures and their behaviors.
• Cuteness Overload: Suffers this frequently due to Mii-kun's childlike overtures of affection. When he meets the baku in Daichi's house, he immediately starts fawning over it and nuzzling it like it's a puppy.
• Death Glare: Pulls a right terrifying one when chastising Tazuki for trying to remove Mii-kun's bandage, complete with a demonic aura.
• House Husband: Due to his aunt's work schedule and his father being overseas, he is the one who does all the cooking and other chores in the house. He's quite good at it, and doesn't seem to have an issue with doing so.
• Nice Guy: He's soft-spoken and kind to his human friends. Despite being afraid of Mii-kun at first, he quickly warms up to him and is very protective and motherly towards him.
• Papa Wolf: Is highly protective of Mii-kun, and even willing to smack Tazuki for trying to remove Mii-kun's bandages.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He enjoys cooking and happily becomes a doting mother to Mii-kun (after he gets over his initial fear, of course). He is also very open with his feelings and fond of cute things (and absolutely not fond of scary things).
• Supreme Chef: He's capable of making some pretty complicated dishes, at one point making pumpkin montblanc as a snack and making fancy sushi rolls with images in them. The cake he gave to Tazuki's sister also looks for the world like an entremet, which are extremely difficult French cakes.

Tazuki Kamiya

Sora's best friend and classmate. A cool-looking guy who cares about his friends, even if he's not great at showing it. He owns the oni child, Conny.

• Bookworm: Is shown to be very studious, and even helps Sora with his weaker subjects.
• Cruel to Be Kind: Tazuki continuously puts distance between himself and Conny. This is because when he was little, he was injured from failing to protect a dragon from a collector. As a result, he fears being attached in case anything happens to Conny.
• Dark and Troubled Past: As a little boy, he found an injured dragon similar to Isao and tried to protect it from a man who was trying to take it. Tazuki was cornered in an abandoned building where the man presumably beat him and took the dragon. The impact of this event on Tazuki and his friendship with Sora is felt throughout the series.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Initially is more intellectually fascinated with Mii-kun and finds it amusing to taunt him by threatening to remove his bandages. However, Mii-kun's innocence and cuteness spur him to apologize and treat Mii-kun better.
  • Also acts prickly towards Conny, until Conny seemingly runs away. This eventually pushes him to try to be more honest with his feelings in general.
• Precocious Crush: He’s had a crush on Sora’s aunt Kaede for a few years and is quite bad at hiding it, with Sora occasionally teasing him about it.
• Terrible Artist: He is not very good at artwork, and it takes him several tries to make dolls for his little sister, Tsukiyo. He also is not very good at making sushi with artistic designs like Sora.

Asa Motegi

Sora and Tazuki's classmate. Friendly and outgoing. She owns the little dragon, Isao.

• Everyone's Baby Sister: The boys are incredibly nice to Motegi and are charmed by her kindness. On two occasions, Sora thinks that he wants Motegi to be his little sister.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: Despite being a petite teenager, she's able to effortlessly hoist and fling entire bookcases across the room.
• Nice Girl: Is friendly, upbeat, and helpful to everyone. Sora and Daichi compare her to an angel.
• The Nicknamer: Motegi not only loves to give her friends nicknames, but also loves to get new nicknames.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: 148cm tall. Can beat adult oni at arm wrestling. It is of course the source of various comedic moments.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Is deathly afraid of lizards. Her friends find it ironic that she's afraid of lizards but has absolutely no problem with bugs. She's initially terrified of Isao because she thinks he's a giant lizard, but his behavior and her own shame at having tried to kill himnote with the aforementioned bookcase gets her to warm up to him.
