Yachiho
Yachiho Takahara
"I don't care how scary they are, I'm not leaving. I'm looking for something important, and I won't stop until I have the answers."
Our protagonist: a nice, beautiful, and very brave girl who moved into the mansion. She wants to find things about her missing mother and a specific book, "Notes from the Realm of the Dead", which belonged to the previous owner.
- Determinator: When she slipped out into the portal to the Realm of the Dead, she wanted to swim downwards to darkness.Hey ? Why am I going up ? I should go there too!
- Face Your Fears: Hachiho has a natural fear of the supernatural, but overcomes it for her own personal reasons (and because she just moved).
- Flower Motifs: She is so nice and innocent, in chapter 5, while cheering up a kodama to make flowers grow, the kodama grew their first flower... on Hachiho's head !
- Fluffy Tamer: The first "spirit" she sees is a snake-like and -sized lightning dragon. She squeed at them.
- Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Hachiho, in chapter 5, said to Moro she didn't understand why Kamô seeks to use spirits as vulgar objects. Moro was kind of impressed and blushed in his way.
- Plucky Girl: A slightly more melancholic version. Hachiho is definitely not the kind to be battered by constant adversity, confusion or fear.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: She's a very good cook, as seen in Chapter 2, and, despite moving out in a rather huge mansion, takes upon herself to do the massive amount of chores necessary to maintain it by Chapter 3, despite the tiring rhythm of schoolwork, paranormal encounters, and getting her bentos eaten by an insect-like spirit she had to banish in the previous episode.
- She even takes the time to draw the spirits she encounters.
Chihaya
Chihaya Kamo;
A sorcerer who collects spirits to use their powers. He believes people cannot cohabit with spirits.
- Animal Lover: Episode 4 endnote is a yonkoma where we learn Kamo; likes animals, and followed Fuku to Hachiho.
- Military Mage: He seems to be some sort of mercenary mage, as he was "paid" to take away Raichi and Ushi with him.
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: In Episode 4, the only reason he gives up Ushi and Raishi is that he didn't want to get angry at Hachiho.
Tachibana
Tachibana
"These spirits still look scary to me, but Tachibana-san seemed to love them."
The previous owner of the mansion, a researcher that lived in peace with the spirits.—Yachiho
