!Main Characters

[[folder:Takeshi Nanase]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamoruMiyano (Japanese), Gabriel Regojo (English)
\\
The male protagonist, who has a sour relationship with his family. He has his ordinary high school life interrupted by Mui Aiba turning him and his friends into magicians.
----
* AccidentalKiss: With Mui in the story's beginning, leading to much tension.
* TheBeard: Pretends to date Kurumi to drive her unwanted chasers away.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Stems mostly from his poor relationship with his own little brother; he tries to do better with others.
* CainAndAbel: Abel to Gekkou's Cain. They have a hostile relationship and although both of them have issues with their mother [[spoiler:Gekko tried to kill her!]]
* CombatClairvoyance: His magic enables him to predict his opponent's movements. Because he's, strictly speaking, not casting magic on his opponent, he can use it without penalty in the muggle world.
* CoolSword: His Aspect, "Twilight", is a black and purple sword that can fire magic bullets. [[spoiler: He later renames her Towa, or Eternity.]]
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: He eventually begins to have psychic visions of the sort that are said to be 100% accurate.
* IdiotHair: Has one strand out hair standing out, but not as prominent as Mui's or Kurumi's, and so the idiot connotations are minimal.
* LivingLieDetector: He develops a rare form of magic that allows him to see some of people's secrets and through their lies. It's implied to be an extension of his CombatClairvoyance.
* NiceGuy: His arrangement with Kurumi is because she trusts him and he immediately helped Miu when he saw her collapsed on the ground.
* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: He is able to defeat people who wield real swords using a kendo stick.

----

* {{Gainaxing}}: Minor example in episode 5 when she took off her bra while having a fever and then in a rush forget to put it back on. Takeshi [[MaleGaze takes notice immediately]].
* GirlyRun: When in a hurry without her weapon she defaults to this; perhaps meant to be a contrast with her battle-ready mindset?
* HandCannon: Her Aspect is as large as her forearm.
* HiddenBuxom: Much to Kurumi's dismay, she's better endowed then she looks. It leads to questions about how much milk she drinks.
* ICallHerVera: She calls her weapon Arthur.
* IdiotHair: Has a long strand of hair in front of her face and this is reflected in some poor decisions, like trying to rescue her brother by herself.

* BreastExpansion: She found out about her newly acquired shape changing magic because her breasts where the first things to change.
* ClingyJealousGirl: In the first episode, she is more bothered about Takeshi calling a girl she hasn't met before by her {{first name|Basis}} rather than the menacing guys in front of her. As the story progresses, she has become increasingly uncomfortable with Takeshi's growing bond with Mui.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The stalker incident was scary and traumatizing.
* DistressedDamsel: Kidnapped by Gekkou in the lead up to the anime's climax which then forms a substantial amount of it.

* EvilCounterpart: To Takeshi and made very obvious by this [[http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn139/animangamania/58103l_zps7858389d.jpg poster]]. Their CainAndAbel status also helps.

* {{Expy}}: A BigBad who leads a faction full of magic-wielding supremacists with the goal of conquering [[{{Muggles}} non-magical people]], then suddenly disappears for more than ten years, awaiting his revival? Sounds a lot like [[Franchise/HarryPotter Lord Voldemort]].
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he uses magic it must effect his eyes as well because they glow.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He and Ghost Trailers are subjugating others, which is the exact same thing [[spoiler:Wizard Brace]] did in the past.
