Here are the characters of ''Manga/TheSeveringCrimeEdge'':
----

!!Kiri Haimura

->Voiced by: Creator/NatsukiHanae
----

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Kiri's scissors can sever body parts, something ordinary scissors obviously can't do.
* AlwaysInClassOne: Kiri starts off in middle-school class 2-A. Despite not going to school for years, Iwai quickly ends up in that class as well.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Kiri is completely dedicated to protecting Iwai from being killed by other killing goods authors.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Kiri knew Iwai for approximately 48 hours at the point he decides to defend her from the serial killers out to murder her. No, not kidnap and sacrifice her, but kill her on the spot. Whoever does manage to gets the power to break the laws of nature, and presumably have one of their wishes granted. Admittedly, it doesn't take much to want to prevent a young girl from being brutally murdered.
* MeaningfulName: Kiri's name means "cut"... guess what he does with his scissors.
* RedBaron: The "Severing Crime Edge".



!!Iwai Mushanokoji

->Voiced by: Creator/KotoriKoiwai
----

* DamselInDistress: Iwai can't help but be this. She's extremely small, weak, and she's got countless psychopaths with superpowers trying to kill her. She simply doesn't have any way to properly fight them off, and so has no choice but to hope someone will save her. This isn't to say that she gives in when captured. She can be injured, traumatized, unable to stand, and still [[DefiantCaptive stare at her torturer defiantly]], refusing to break. Living proof that even a damsel in distress can have some real steel in her.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She is often mistaken for a elementary-schooler due to her short height, much to her chagrin.
* RapidHairGrowth: Due to her curse, even if her hair is cut, it grows back to an extremely long length at the stroke of midnight.
* ShrinkingViolet: She is shy and insecure.
