Akira's First Group

     Akira Sengoku 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/180px-Sengoku_5292.png

Our hero. Formerly the class clown, Akira now finds himself forced to lead his classmates through an island filled with deadly animals.


  • Accidental Pervert: The most frequent gag is him ending up in a compromising position with a girl, and Rion dragging him off by his ear.
  • Badass Normal: Coming in just behind Yarai and Kouhei.
  • Big Eater: Though it hasn't really come up since the first chapter.
  • Book Dumb: Before coming to the island, Akira was generally not bright and scored low grades at schools
  • Celibate Hero: Seems to be his primary reason for not acting on his feelings for Rion. They're more than a little busy.
  • Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: He likes to peep on the girls, but not Rion.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: With Rion.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: Despite being called a pervert, he always acts like a good guy to the girls on the island.
  • Class Clown: Before coming to the island. Which is why pretty much everyone is shocked when they find out he's the one leading the most successful group of survivors.
  • Clueless Chick-Magnet: His charisma and leadership abilities have also made him the romantic target of Rion Akagami, Maya Miyauchi, Tokiwa Aya, Yuki Sakuma, Kagura Mami, Kanako Oomori, Rei Ooguro, and Kashiwagi Sanae — all of whom consider him to be an ideal husband should they be unable to leave the island.
  • Determinator: He has a resolute and determined personality which always places his friends priority over himself and attempts to to save anyone close to him, regardless of the situation.
  • Disappeared Dad: Chapter 183 reveals that he died of an illness when Akira was four.
  • Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Does this to Yuki... by slapping her butt.
  • Ideal Hero: Might as well have it stamped on his forehead. He's not afraid to try and save everyone, including people that would consider him as an enemy. Throughout the series, whenever Akira has a plan despite the danger, he would always put himself in the front of the danger.
  • The Leader: A mix of types III and IV. He is a capable leader, many times due to his leadership his group is able to survive with minor losses.
  • Living Emotional Crutch: Some of Kouhei's inner dialogue suggests that Akira is this to him.
  • Magnetic Hero: He's not the strongest or the smartest, but he's very good at gathering friends. Best highlighted when Akira asks for volunteers to go to the pyramid, -a mission that will take a week to get there, and where there is a potentially dangerous doctor capable of spreading a plague- everyone raises their hands.
  • Took a Level in Badass: As time on the island progress, his fighting skills have progressed to the point that he could fight evenly with Kouhei. Even able to dodge Kouichi’s blows. Due to his competence, his group is able to muster up courage and feel calm.

  • Intelligence Equals Isolation: At least until the plane crashed.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be rather callous, but he ultimately has the group's best interest at heart and will risk his life for the safety of his friends.

  • Missing Mom: What finally gets him to empathize with Zaji.
  • Mr. Exposition: With his laptop and database, he's the one who is usually in a position to explain everything.
  • Nerd Glasses: Has large square glasses with the white brim on most of the time.
  • The Smart Guy: Shirou more than makes up for it with his high intelligence. He is extremely knowledgeable in various fields of science, especially prehistoric creatures and extinct animals, which makes him an asset to his friends and comrades. His knowledge is not limited to just prehistory and its wildlife and fauna; he is knowledgeable in world history and historical figures, etc.

  • Friend to All Living Things: Well, the squirrel-creatures, anyway. Everything else is far too violent.
  • Fur Bikini: Wears one in the finale with a definite Cat Girl vibe.
  • Gay Romantic Phase: The reason she became a flight attendant (in spite of failing the test 16 times) was to be with her former senpai, who was her first love. She insists that it was because she went to an all-girls school and that she likes men now.
  • The Medic: She only has basic first aid training, but that's better than everyone else.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Share the role with Rion as main source of Fanservice.
  • Sexy Stewardess: She is a beauty stewardess and for nearly all the story wears her flight attendant uniform.

Yarai's Group

     Kouichi Yarai 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Yarai_1707.png

A notorious delinquent from class 4.


  • The Ace: He isn't perfect, though. His leadership skills could use some work, and he refuses to take orders from someone else. However, these traits keep him from taking up the limelight too much.
  • Badass Normal: Yarai has been shown to have an unknown ferocious, massive amount of strength that he uses in a variety of ways. Aside from being able to sends humans literally flying with his kicks, he has been shown to be strong enough to rip a large claw off a Chalicotherium and also flick a coin at an Arsinoitherium with enough pressure to cause it to stop in its tracks. He is able to be able to defeat a group of animals simply by himself showing he's extremely effective in combat, being able to defeat humans and animals alike. He's able to injure an animal using keys as a weapon easily showing off his inhuman strength.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Has blonde hair and his eyes are yellow.
  • Delinquents: He looks and acts like one.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Granted, he's not exactly a bad guy, but the reason he's so attached to Kurusu-sensei is that she reminds him of his (deceased) mother.
  • Face of a Thug: Some girls note that his face looks like a serial rapist's, and in color pages his eyes are yellow.
  • Friendless Background: Segawa points out that Akira is his first real friend.
  • Genius Bruiser: Much smarter than he lets on.
  • Heroic BSoD: Has one when he loses to Akira.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Kurusu-sensei.
  • Improvised Weapon User: His weapons of choice are car keys and 500 yen coins.
  • Love Letter Lunacy: Led Saki Segawa to think he had a crush on her.
  • Love Triangle: It remains to be seen whether or not he is in one with Kurusu and Segawa.
    • The ending doesn't quite resolve this. Everyone assumes Yarai and Kurusu are a couple but point out nothing has happened because Segawa is always around to interfere.
  • Men Don't Cry: Averted in Chapter 141, where Saki points out that he's crying because doesn't want to kill Akira.
  • Mr. Fanservice: To recap: Yarai is tall, blonde, strong and has highly defined muscles and a big chest that make him the physically biggest character in the series. He has many Shirtless Scene and get a double-page where he bath naked.
  • The Rival: Sees himself as such, though he and Akira are on much better terms than many other rivals in anime.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: The only person he shows any remote interest for is Kurusu sensei, and even then, it's not clear if he sees her romantically or as a mother figure.
  • The Stoic: He hasn't shown any signs of finding his current situation disturbing yet remains relatively calm throughout the whole ordeal.
    • Not So Stoic: Subverted in Chapters 15 and 64, where he laughs at Akira being attacked by the Edwardsi and at the misunderstanding that led Saki to hold a grudge against him. In Chapter 141, he cries because he doesn't want to kill Akira, but Nishikiori won't save Kurusu-sensei if he doesn't.

     Motoko Kurusu 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/180px-Kurusu_at_introduction_8431.png

The homeroom teacher of class 4.


  • Adults Are Useless: To a degree. Her heart's in the right place and she is often very comforting, but there are plenty of times where she needs rescuing by her own students.
  • Animal-Eared Headband: Yarai told her that it would protect her from animal attacks and she believed him.
  • Attempted Rape: The victim of it in the midst of the panic on the plane. Morita's video reveals that Yarai saved her.
  • Designated Victim: She gets almost raped, the first to contract the eye disease that killed the students who followed suit, and got a bad case of internal bleeding among others. Girl's got luck on her side for coming out of all them fairly unscathed.
  • Hartman Hips: She has a small chest and waist, but her hip size is huge compared to the other females of the series.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Yarai.
  • The Load: And frustratingly so. For someone with years ahead of her students, you'd expect she'd be more capable of taking care of herself and be of some help to the team. She tries, bless her heart, but she ends up endangering them most of the time. She is always Easily Forgiven by her students though.
  • Love Triangle: It remains to be seen whether or not she is in one with Yarai and Segawa.
  • Secretly Dying: Inverted. Her companions know that she's dying from internal bleeding, but she doesn't. However, it appears she's figured out the truth on her own.
  • Sensei-chan: Motoko is a female teacher of small stature for her age, but very cute and nice. She worries about all her students and when one doesn't offer any enthusiasm in class, she tries to introduce them to do more things.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/196px-Segawa_confessing_9937.png

A girl from a rich family who dislikes Yarai.


  • A-Cup Angst: While she's not small, she's smaller than Rion, and well aware that this is why the latter is considered prettier.
  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: Played with. Due to the love letter confusion, she had a small crush on Yarai, which went out the window when he tore up her letter (biiig misunderstanding). On the island, once she realizes what actually happened, she starts falling for him harder.
  • Alliterative Name: Saki Segawa.
  • Anguished Declaration of Love: To Yarai, when it seems like he sees Motoko as a love interest rather than just a teacher.
  • Curtains Match the Window: She has pink hair and pink eyes.
  • The Glomp: After Yarai saves her.
  • Just Friends: She suggested this to Yarai in response to his love letter. Since he never actually sent her a love letter, he had no idea what was going on.
  • Love Confession: In the backstory, she thought Yarai was trying to give her one. Turns out that because the letter was unsigned, she had made a big mistake.
    Yarai: I feel bad for the guy who wrote that letter.
  • Love Letter Lunacy: Led her to think Yarai had a crush on her.
  • Love Triangle: It remains to be seen whether or not she is in one with Yarai and Kurusu.
  • Non-Human Sidekick: In Chapter 115, she picks up a turtle and declares that it will be the group's dinner. In Chapter 133, we see that she's kept him and named him "Mr. Lucky".

A 10 year old girl (or not) in control of a group of 30 men. In reality, "she" is actually a body double for the real Miina Isurugi.


  • Lolicon and Shotacon: Played for Laughs. She flashes her panties, poses seductively, and all in all does everything see can to turn on men who know "she" is actually a boy.
  • Manipulative Bastard/Guile Hero: The former being how she accomplishes the latter. Throughout the series, Miina has shown to have a great ability at maniuplating people in all types of different ways, pretending to be something he isn't. Shirou Mariya had stated he has a great amount of nerve for being able to do so, able to act as someone he isn't.

  • The Load: During Piramid Arc, due falling debris, Mami injured her leg and had troubles to keep up with others and so couldn't climb down to laboratories. When Akira's Pyramid Party escaped from the Pyramid, Mami was the only one who got caught.
  • Nice Girl: Quiet, gentle, and friendly at all times. Despite her quiet nature, she's is kind to others and does things in the best interest of others.
  • Seers: She can see the future with an 80% success rate. She can also predict events that have yet to happen for numerous weeks, as seen when she predicted Akira having a scary face.
  • Shrinking Violet: Mami is a relatively shy, meek girl. She is doubtful in her own abilities and is usually seen hesitant. She doesn't seem to laugh much, but when she does it's a cute giggle. She doesn't seem to have any outgoing personality and is more reserved and extremely embarrassed when brought up in certain situations, especially with guys.

The class representative of class 4, Yuki was always scolding Akira for goofing around. Initially a member of Kouhei's group, she joins Akira's group after being rescued from drowning.


  • Agent Mulder: Yuki has been shown to have certain a addiction of sorts, that when she likes something, she'd think unimaginable things and when she believes in something, she'll try to influence others into it, too. For example, because of Yuki's love for bears, she imagined the island would be in the shape of a giant bear and when people were debating about Mami Kagura's precognition abilities, she influenced Kanako Oomori into believing they were real, knowing a variety of facts about ESP abilities.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Has started falling for Akira, well aware he is head-over-heels for Rion.
  • Class Representative: At school, Yuki had been the class president and was always nagging a few of her fellow students because of misbehaviour, especially Akira.

  • Lightning Bruiser: Is the most action-oriented of the girls. She is a skilled and confident warrior, able to smash various targets to pieces with her kicks, and has such control she could lash out a leg toward someone's head and stop abruptly before making contact. She is also agile and has a tolerance for damage.
  • Lovely Angels: Becomes this with Aya Tokiwa in the finale.

This doesn't end as she has been shown going off at the guys for doing certain things and actually rounds up the girls to do the same thing because she had thought it was interesting. She is commonly fun-loving and her perverted acts are all done in good jest.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She often invoke this status, but most of the boys are interested in the girls their own age and the adult men are lolicons.

  • Number Two: When Akira is gone, Tooru is usually the one left in command or as a leader for the group realising things that others may not.

A man who was traveling around the island with Junichi Mutou. He was originally part of the group that took refuge in the pyramid and was traveling around the island to find the mysteries behind it. However, he later escaped after Takashi Nishikiori took reign over the group.


  • Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: He is one of several characters who smoke.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He escaped from the Pyramid after Takashi Nishikiori took reign over the group; he is really disgusted by Nishikiori evil acts.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He and Mutou tried to attack Akira's group.
  • Yakuza: Subverted. Because of his business suit people think he is with the Yakuza, but in chapter 155 he says that before the island he was a writer.

     Junichi Mutou 

One of the people belonging to Nishikiori's Group. He first appeared traveling with Daigo Yashiro trying to figure out the mysteries of the island while trying escaping from the group at the Pyramid and eventually decided to stay with Akira's Group at The Tower.


  • My Greatest Failure: In the past he was not capable to save his son, so he had hidden the fact that he was the doctor.
  • The Reveal: After Nishikiori had revealed that he wasn't doctor at all, with Oomori's and Akira's knowledge, they managed to deduce that Junichi was the doctor indeed.

     Takashi Nishikiori

A doctor who holds the Pyramid group in thrall.


  • Big Bad: Of the final arc, even with the more dangerous extinct animals, he holds the morale threat
  • Deadly Doctor: He uses his medical skills to inflict maximum pain without leaving any lasting injuries. And he's not even a real doctor!
  • Karma Houdini: Survives at the end, although he loses a leg.
  • Living Lie Detector: Through a combination of checking someone's pulse and pupil dilation.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Has managed to turn the entire Pyramid group into his willing slaves through careful manipulation of groupthink and other psychological tricks.
  • Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Whoever gave this man a medical license needs to be shot. Then again, he doesn't actually have a medical license.
  • Narcissist: He freaks out when he thinks he might end up with a scar on his face.
  • A Nazi by Any Other Name: He is explicitly referred to as using Nazi tactics. However, in a rare example, they are not talking about genocide or racism (the population is too small for that). Rather, he borrows the Nazi "whistleblowing" tactic, encouraging his slaves to report on each other. Not only does it keep him informed, but it keeps his followers scared and unable to cooperate against him.
  • Plague Master: Spread a disease among the Pyramid group and only gave people the cure when they swore loyalty to him.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: On top of everything else, he's a misogynist. The only reason he's not a rapist is because he thinks women are so far beneath him as to not bother.
  • Shadow Archetype: To Sengoku.
  • Smug Snake: Generally, his plans work perfectly, so he doesn't quite fit this. But when they don't (such as his various plans to kill or control Akira), this comes out full force.
  • The Sociopath: Laughs as a man and daughter die in front of him from a disease he caused.
  • Tyrant Takes the Helm: He wrestled control of the Pyramid group away from the aforementioned father.

     Ugen Kokonoe

The school science teacher, and a member of the Pyramid group. That is, until Nishikiori had him beaten and thrown in prison.


  • Badass Teacher: Not physically, but he is willing to go to absurd lengths to protect his students.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: He has a perverted side as he's seen reading an erotic magazine during a school trip despite students being around him.
  • Mad Scientist: He has been a science teacher for an unknown amount of time and some students refer to him as the mad science teacher. Akira mentioned that Ugen tried to made a rail gun at their school once.
  • Smoking Is Cool: Where he keeps getting the cigarettes is less clear.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: His specialty thanks to his knowledge about the different chemical reactions and how they form together.
  • Ultimate Job Security: Despite blowing up his classroom on a regular basis, he was never fired. None of the students know why.
