->'''Voiced by:''' TakumaTerashima (Drama CD), JunjiMajima (Anime) [Japanese], and Austin Tindle [English]
TheProtagonist of the series. An OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent killed by [[spoiler:Kyoko]] before the start of the series and revived as a zombie by Eucliwood Hellscythe. Technically he is now under her servitude, but more often than not he's the one running the household.
-----
* AccidentalMarriage: With Maelstrom, after [[AccidentalKiss accidentally kissing]] her.
* AccidentalPervert: Not that [[CovertPervert his thoughts are always wholesome]], but he still counts.
* AlliterativeName
* AmusingInjuries
* AssShove: Twice in the OVA, causing temporary {{Wimpification}}. He also gets one with a flower in the first ending theme and a bunch more in the Of the Dead's ending theme.
* {{Back Stab}}bed [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice with Extreme Prejudice]]: How he died in his {{Backstory}}.
** He's been stabbed [[FourIsDeath four times]] since becoming a Zombie, including once by Sera as part of his own BatmanGambit against [[spoiler:Kyoko]].
* BadassCape[=/=]FrillsOfJustice
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Pulls one against [[spoiler:Kyoko]].
* ButtMonkey: Not as severe as some examples, but Ayumu usually gets the short end of the stick at any given moment.
** Taken UpToEleven at the end of Episode 1 of ''Of The Dead'' -- he was forced to fight a Squid Megalo in broad daylight to save Taeko, where most of his schoolmates can see... they quickly take shots of him and his exploits even made headlines across the internet. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the Mystletainn broke up after the fight, rendering him naked ''and'' unable to wipe out his schoolmates' memories!
* ChainsawGood
* ChickMagnet
* CovertPervert: If his {{Imagine Spot}}s about Eu didn't leave you any clues. Also, she ''[[ObfuscatingStupidity knows]]'' about them.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Both as a Magical Garment Girl and as a [[CatsEye Kisugi sister]] parody. The former mode puts him in a pink frilly dress, and the latter mode (seen in the OVA) puts him in a unitard. Apart from those examples, episode 6 of season 2 has him crossdressing to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe per popular demand.
** DraggedIntoDrag
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Not exactly a moron per se, but Ayumu is mostly a servant to his ladies. But beware: given the chance, he can [[spoiler:rip a Whale Megalo's head off, tear Kyoko to shreds with the Mystletainn, or punch the King of the Night out of immortality]].
* CursedWithAwesome: Being a zombie grants him functional immortality, regeneration and SuperStrength. Becoming a Magical Garment Girl gives him even more powers. However, he lacks a number of RequiredSecondaryPowers, meaning his body will tear itself apart if he uses his super strength too much, and his Magical Garment Girl outfit is intensely humiliating (but thank God for that [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memory-wash ability]] taken from Haruna).
** In ''Of The Dead'', he loses his LaserGuidedAmnesia ability since he broke Mystletainn and ends up at the center of an InUniverse MemeticMutation involving his Magical Garment Girl costume.
* TheDeadCanDance: By proxy since becoming a zombie hasn't affected his ability to breakdance.
* DeathByOriginStory
* DeathIsCheap: Naturally comes with his new lease of (undead) life.
* DetachmentCombat
* EmbarrassingButEmpoweringOutfit: The Magical Garment Girl outfit.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: Ayumu can push his body past its human limits. This tends to leave him crippled afterwards, however.
* {{Expy}}: Doesn't he look like [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Maebara Keiichi]] to you?
* GenreSavvy: During the {{tsundere}} challenge.
* [[spoiler:GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: After blowing himself up, Ayumu [[HeroicBSOD blames himself for being too weak to protect Eu]]. Haruna (whom Ariel helped mind-dive into his subconscious) knocked some sense into him, convincing him to come back to life.]]
* HaremHero: Type 2.
* HeroicBSOD: Episode 10 of the first season.
* HeroicSacrifice: He always gets better (even from otherwise fatal injuries), but this is still played straight [[spoiler:at the end of Episode 10, when he takes the time bomb the King of the Night placed on Haruna's head, allowing it to explode in midair, literally tearing himself apart. His HeroicBSOD at that moment also made his "death" a little bit longer. Haruna, Seraphim and Maelstrom reassemble him at the start of Episode 11, but it took Haruna's mind-dive to finally convince him to come back to life.]]
* HiddenDepths: He can breakdance.
* ImagineSpot: OnceAnEpisode with Delusion Eu.
-->"This is the fantasy of our weak-hearted protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu."
* KnightInShiningArmor: Swears to stay by Eu's side even after she tearfully confesses to her horrifying secret.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Towards Eu. He was captivated when he first saw her at a store shortly before he became a zombie thanks to her the night he was killed.
* MagicalGirl: [[WholesomeCrossdresser Uh, guy.]]
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Maelstrom, during their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that Maelstrom continues to insist that it's legal).
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Chris never gets his name right.
* NiceGuy: He allows three PrettyFreeloaders in his household despite two of them treating him like crap and the other doing nothing to help him.
* NiceHat: As a Magical Garment Girl shounen.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's a zombie Magical Garment Girl.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They look, act and think like normal people. Sunlight dries them out, and some can bodysurf via DemonicPossession.
* RealMenWearPink
* RocketPunch: Ayumu is not above throwing his own severed arm at an enemy if things get desperate.
* [[LeotardOfPower Unitard Of Power]][=/=]SensualSpandex: During the Manga/CatsEye parody in the first OVA. Of course, he gets them confused with leotards.
* TsurimeEyes
* WeaksauceWeakness: Direct sunlight.
* WholeCostumeReference: His jumpsuit during the CatsEye parody in the OVA.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: As a Magical Garment Girl ''and'' as a maid at a {{tsundere}} cosplay cafe.
* WouldHitAGirl: Scratch that -- he would ''chainsaw'' a girl if they messed with his friends.
* YankTheDogsChain: Zigzagged, via a ChekhovsGag through the first episodes of the first two seasons, where Ayumu was exposed as a Magical Garment Girl to his classmates after fighting a Megalo on the school grounds. Except he wasn't lucky the second time around: with Mystletainn broken and he unable to erase their memories, he ends up at the center of an InUniverse MemeticMutation, much to his despair. And even when he thought he'd finally get over that incident once Mystletainn was fixed, his classmates later had him DraggedIntoDrag again afterwards anyway, this time to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe.

** ''Of The Dead'''s Delusion Eu segments, the real Eu actually talks to her Delusion counterparts.
* EmotionlessGirl: Ayumu initially assumes she's this, but Seraphim correctly guesses she's simply hiding her emotions.

* EvilLaugh: During the CatsEye parody in her [[TalkingWithSigns usual fashion]].
* {{Expy}}: Shares a little bit of [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]], [[FateStayNight Saber]] (armored dress and [[BigEater appetite]]) and ReiAyanamiExpy.
* GenreSavvy: When Eu had lend her powers to Haruna (thereby allowing her to speak), she's actually ''aware'' of Ayumu's {{Imagine Spot}}s, AND tells him this.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Necromancer knight[[spoiler:[=/=]Magical Garment Girl]].
* TheNthDoctor
* OlderThanSheLooks: Probably, since she doesn't allow Seraphim to reveal her age.
* PowerIncontinence: Potentially one of the worst cases on record. Unchecked, her magic would spill out through her words and feelings. Even when she dies, her magic will rage on.
* PowerLimiter: She prevents her magic running wild by [[TwentyFourHourArmor wearing her armor]], [[TheVoiceless not speaking]], [[TheStoic and controlling her emotions]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, in episode 9 she lets her emotions get the better of her under duress, leading to some pretty nasty things happening such as her friends getting squashed by a giant kappa doll and Maelstrom nearly dying.

* SuperpowerLottery: She is without a doubt the strongest character shown thus far, able to kill by speaking. This leads to...
** StoryBreakerPower: She could easily [[CurbStompBattle defeat]] everybody introduced thus far. The only problem is that [[TechnicalPacifist she is against violence and doesn't like to hurt people]].

->'''Voiced by:''' KaoruMizuhara (Drama CD), IoriNomizu (Anime) [Japanese] and Jād Saxton [English]
A self-described genius "Magical Garment Girl" from Villiers who fights Megalo, though her genius seems based in a whole different universe. Her weapon of choice is a pink chainsaw named Mystletainn, but she accidentally transferred most of her powers to Ayumu while trying to erase his memory. Now only he can wield Mystletainn against the Megalo while she regenerates her powers. In the meantime, she's squatting at his house and cooking fried egg in all its forms.
----
* TheAce
* ACupAngst: Is jealous of the fact that she has the smallest bust out of the gang. Heck, even ''Eu'' is bigger, if only slightly, than her.
* AttentionWhore: At times.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Able to correctly predict the questions on Ayumu's math exam by looking at his problems.
* AxCrazy: When Haruna demands a [[ImagineSpot fantasy]] from Ayumu, the last portion of the spot involves... using Mystletainn on the mythical tree for money.
* BadassAdorable
* BareYourMidriff: Her idol attire.
* BarrierWarrior
* BigEater
* BrilliantButLazy: She ''is'' intelligent, but usually doesn't make the effort because she's not interested. This may be why she has... weird ideas about certain things.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Still has some of her magic, but Ayumu has her Magical Garment Girl abilities (as well as the ability to wield the Mystletainn).
* ChainsawGood
* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets jealous of Ayumu's [[AccidentalMarriage marriage]] to Maelstrom, and asks him to kiss her in Episode 8. When he questions her as to why she wants a kiss, she responds by beating him up a little bit. Ramped UpToEleven in Episode 9 of the second season after seeing him get too friendly with the buxom Nene.
* CryCute: PlayedForLaughs in Epsiode 9 of the second season at the sight of Ayumu getting too close to Nene for comfort.
* CuteLittleFang
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Her tutu in chapter 5 of the manga.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Her Japanese voice actress, IoriNomizu, sang both opening themes, ''Ma-Ka-Se-Te Tonight'' ("Leave It to Magic Tonight") and ''*** Passionato''.
* EmpathicWeapon: Her Mystletainn, whose allegiance shifted to Ayumu after absorbing most of her powers. [[spoiler:However, in Episode 11 it reaffirms Haruna's ownership of it, allowing her to transform full-time again and help Ayumu double-team the King of the Night.]]
* {{Expy}}: Think of a more {{tsundere}}, more [[MsFanservice fanservice-tastic]] [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Rita Mordio]].
* [[spoiler:FirstKiss: With Ayumu during volume 10, and several of them at that, long story but it involved a bomb underwater and her needing "air".]]
* GenkiGirl
* HairDecorations
* IdiotHair
* IdolSinger: And she took the world by storm.
* InsufferableGenius
* LensFlareCensor: Flat-out abused by her, with her penchant for attempting to transform into a Magical Garment Girl -- a process which destroys her civilian clothes, leaving her naked once the magic wears off (which, thanks to losing most of her powers to Ayumu, now only lasts a few seconds).
* LittleMissBadass
* MadScientist
* MagicalGirl
* MsFanservice
* NiceHat: As a Magical Garment Girl.
* TheNicknamer: She's very bad at remembering names, so most of the time she refers to people either by a nickname ("Bayumu", "Yukinori"), or a title ("The Necromancer", "The Ninja").
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Magical Garment Girl MadScientist.
* OneNoteCook: Her fried eggs are [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood incredible]], although putting them in water bottles is going too far. [[LethalChef When she tries something else, though...]]
** Gets hilariously subverted in Episode 8. Her boiled hijiki (seaweed) is a burnt black mess, but still manages to [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood taste]] just as good as the eggs.
* PrettyFreeloader: Averted, since on occasion she does cook for Ayumu (usually [[OneNoteCook fried eggs]]).
* PurpleEyes
* ShorterMeansSmarter
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A, though a very understated part of her character. Also in the preview episode 5-7 she is a maid of the tsundere cafe.

----
* ActionGirl
* ActorAllusion: [[YoukoHikasa Her]] [[CatGirl cat-]][[{{K-ON}} ears experience]]. Amusingly enough, earlier in that same episode, Maelstrom pulls off the "Moe Moe~ KYUN!" stance while her classmates are trying to help her get [[spoiler:Ayumu]] to reciprocate her love for him.
** The NinjaMaid scene that serves as the season's climax, though, ''does'' play this straight, minus the "Moe Moe~~ KYUN!" bit.
* AntiHero: Type III when she's introduced. She's probably Type II by the current point in the story.
* ArsonMurderAndLifesaving
-->"You're a crossdressing [[{{Catchphrase}} piece of shit]] festering in a bag of rotten garbage, but I believe in your strength."

* BoobsOfSteel: A highly-skilled swordswoman with an impressive F-Cup rack.
* BrickJoke: Orito guesses that she wears white panties. He was right.
* CallingYourAttacks: Slightly let down by her announcing the attack's a secret technique.
* CannotTellALie: She herself admitted it.
* CatchPhrase: Calling Ayumu "Kuso-mushi (Dung beetle)", or "Maggot" in the dub.
** Swallow Return Strike ("Hiken Tsubame Gaeshi")!
** How disgusting! (Kimochi warui) again to Ayumu, particularly after he transforms into a Magical Garment Girl.
* ChekhovsGun[=/=]ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler:Her violin.]]
** ChekhovsGift: [[spoiler:Eu healed her using her blood and later it's shown to be the key in closing the gates to the Underworld.]]
** ChekhovsArmy: [[spoiler:Leads the NinjaMaid Orchestra in closing the gates of the underworld.]]
* ClintSquint
* [[SirSwearsALot Dame Swears-A-Lot]]: She really likes using the term "piece of shit" too much.
* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: In episode 10 she was impaled [[InTheBack from behind]] by the King of the Night. Eu, who saw everything, [[BloodMagic pricks her own finger to supply blood for her]], but Sera doesn't fully regain consciousness until she's brought back into Ayumu's house.]]
* [[spoiler:ElegantClassicalMusician]]

* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Becomes a victim of the worst non-fatal in-series example of this in Episode 10 (never mind that deaths here are often bloody, [[spoiler:her eventual DisneyDeath from a separate attack by Yoruno later on included]], if not graphic). She reveals that [[spoiler:her own comrades did this to her after [[YouHaveFailedMe Sarasvati had put a hit on her as punishment for abandoning her mission to assassinate Eu]]]].

* KaleidoscopeEyes
** RedEyesTakeWarning[=/=]GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her eyes glow red as a warning she's ready to kick ass (usually Ayumu's).
* LaserGuidedKarma: A positive example -- [[spoiler:because she relented on her order to kill Eu, the latter resurrected her with some of her own blood after the King of the Night kills her.]]
* LesbianVampire: Comes across as this in Episode 5 by way of giving Haruna a mouth-to-mouth anesthetic before sucking some blood out of her. Come Episode 7, it is revealed that a heterosexual kiss is tantamount to a ShotgunWedding in her culture.
* LethalChef: She helps Haruna cook at the start of Episode 4, which results in something that only Ayumu can ''[[HollywoodAcid barely]]'' stomach. She gets slightly better.
* MsFanservice
* [[spoiler:MusicalAssassin: Uses her violin skills to close the gates of the underworld.]]
* {{Ninja}}
** NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Vampire ninja maid.

* PerpetualFrowner
* PrettyFreeloader: Subverted, for she does clean the house.

** TallDarkAndSnarky
* [[spoiler:ToBeLawfulOrGood: She was given orders to assassinate Eu in order to prevent more Megalo from appearing. Ayumu calls her out on it, forcing her to admit that she just doesn't have to heart do it anymore.]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Maelstrom's tomboy, and also the tomboy to Sarasvati's girly girl. The latter is basically because she uses tough language toward Ayumu and wears slacks (usually dark blue jeans, which she's often, if not always, wearing in promotional material) more often than Sarasvati (if Sarasvati even wears any pants at all).
* TomboyishPonytail
* {{Tsundere}}: Particularly in later novels/Of The Dead, when her feelings for Ayumu start to emerge.

* WingedHumanoid
* WorthyOpponent: Despite her contempt for Ayumu, she nevertheless respects -- and even starts to somehow mellow out to him on account of -- his combat talent.

After accidentally kissing Ayumu, she finds herself married to him (becoming the fourth girl in [[UnwantedHarem Ayumu's harem]]) thanks to the traditions of her family, but seems okay with it. She also studies at Ayumu's school under the alias "Yuki Yoshida".
----
* AccidentalMarriage[=/=]AccidentalKiss: With Ayumu.
* AlliterativeName: Her schoolname.
* {{Awesome McCoolname}}
* BoyishShortHair
* CovertPervert
* EarlyBirdCameo: In Episode 1, she was among the students taking pictures of Ayumu in drag; in Episode 2, while warming up for PE; and in Episode 5, leaving a ramen shop as [[spoiler:Kyoko, who apparently slit her throat the previous episode,]] walks by.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire
* {{Gainaxing}}: Especially in season 2.
* GreenEyes
* HairDecorations: Wears a shuriken as a hair clip.
* HiddenBuxom: Played with. He clothes seem rather indecisive if they want to hide her E cups or not at any given time.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Light Feminine to Sarasvati's Dark Feminine.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Ayumu, during their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that she claims it to be legit).
* [[spoiler:{{Mon}}: Apparently has the Magical Garment Girls' ultimate weapon bonded to her. When she gets squashed by a giant kappa doll in episode 9, it triggers the invocation ritual, and it takes a CooldownHug to prevent things from getting apocalyptic.]]
* [[spoiler:MusicalAssassin: Assists Sera and Sarasvati in closing the gates of the underworld with a triangle.]]
* [[MyNameIsNotDurwood My Name Is Not Tomonori!]]: She doesn't take too kindly to her new, tomboyish-sounding nickname from Orito (an [[AlternateCharacterReading alternate reading]] of her civilian alias), but is fine with Ayumu using it (except for one moment of shock from [[spoiler:nearly dying]] in episode 9), since she found his alternative -- "Yuki-chan" -- even more embarrassing.
* {{Ninja}}
** NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Vampire ninja maid, [[PlayingWithFire who uses fire.]]
** NinjaMaid
* OreOnna: Can be mistaken for a boy, depending on what she's wearing. She also addresses herself with "Ore", a male pronoun. This isn't exactly helping her case against her tomboyish nickname "Tomonori".
* OurVampiresAreDifferent
* TaremeEyes
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Seraphim's Girly Girl. Although both are seen wearing pants (in Sera's case, this also includes jumpsuits, as seen in the OVA) in nearly every, if not every, episode, Maelstrom is definitely a {{Shorttank}} that is often mistaken for a boy depending on what she's [[HiddenBuxom wearing]] at the moment.

* KickTheDog: A particularly fatal moment is in episode 10, in which he [[spoiler:succeeds at what Sarasvati's subordinates had earlier failed to do when he ambushes and actually ''kills'' Seraphim. [[SpannerInTheWorks Good thing Eu was on hand to supply her blood to bring her back.]]]]

->'''Voiced by:''' TakumaTerashima (Drama CD), JunjiMajima (Anime) [Japanese], and Austin Tindle [English]
TheProtagonist of the series. An OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent killed by [[spoiler:Kyoko]] before the start of the series and revived as a zombie by Eucliwood Hellscythe. Technically he is now under her servitude, but more often than not he's the one running the household.
-----
* AccidentalMarriage: With Maelstrom, after [[AccidentalKiss accidentally kissing]] her.
* AccidentalPervert: Not that [[CovertPervert his thoughts are always wholesome]], but he still counts.
* AlliterativeName
* AmusingInjuries
* AssShove: Twice in the OVA, causing temporary {{Wimpification}}. He also gets one with a flower in the first ending theme and a bunch more in the Of the Dead's ending theme.
* {{Back Stab}}bed [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice with Extreme Prejudice]]: How he died in his {{Backstory}}.
** He's been stabbed [[FourIsDeath four times]] since becoming a Zombie, including once by Sera as part of his own BatmanGambit against [[spoiler:Kyoko]].
* BadassCape[=/=]FrillsOfJustice
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Pulls one against [[spoiler:Kyoko]].
* ButtMonkey: Not as severe as some examples, but Ayumu usually gets the short end of the stick at any given moment.
** Taken UpToEleven at the end of Episode 1 of ''Of The Dead'' -- he was forced to fight a Squid Megalo in broad daylight to save Taeko, where most of his schoolmates can see... they quickly take shots of him and his exploits even made headlines across the internet. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the Mystletainn broke up after the fight, rendering him naked ''and'' unable to wipe out his schoolmates' memories!
* ChainsawGood
* ChickMagnet
* CovertPervert: If his {{Imagine Spot}}s about Eu didn't leave you any clues. Also, she ''[[ObfuscatingStupidity knows]]'' about them.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Both as a Magical Garment Girl and as a [[CatsEye Kisugi sister]] parody. The former mode puts him in a pink frilly dress, and the latter mode (seen in the OVA) puts him in a unitard. Apart from those examples, episode 6 of season 2 has him crossdressing to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe per popular demand.
** DraggedIntoDrag
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Not exactly a moron per se, but Ayumu is mostly a servant to his ladies. But beware: given the chance, he can [[spoiler:rip a Whale Megalo's head off, tear Kyoko to shreds with the Mystletainn, or punch the King of the Night out of immortality]].
* CursedWithAwesome: Being a zombie grants him functional immortality, regeneration and SuperStrength. Becoming a Magical Garment Girl gives him even more powers. However, he lacks a number of RequiredSecondaryPowers, meaning his body will tear itself apart if he uses his super strength too much, and his Magical Garment Girl outfit is intensely humiliating (but thank God for that [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memory-wash ability]] taken from Haruna).
** In ''Of The Dead'', he loses his LaserGuidedAmnesia ability since he broke Mystletainn and ends up at the center of an InUniverse MemeticMutation involving his Magical Garment Girl costume.
* TheDeadCanDance: By proxy since becoming a zombie hasn't affected his ability to breakdance.
* DeathByOriginStory
* DeathIsCheap: Naturally comes with his new lease of (undead) life.
* DetachmentCombat
* EmbarrassingButEmpoweringOutfit: The Magical Garment Girl outfit.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: Ayumu can push his body past its human limits. This tends to leave him crippled afterwards, however.
* {{Expy}}: Doesn't he look like [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Maebara Keiichi]] to you?
* GenreSavvy: During the {{tsundere}} challenge.
* [[spoiler:GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: After blowing himself up, Ayumu [[HeroicBSOD blames himself for being too weak to protect Eu]]. Haruna (whom Ariel helped mind-dive into his subconscious) knocked some sense into him, convincing him to come back to life.]]
* HaremHero: Type 2.
* HeroicBSOD: Episode 10 of the first season.
* HeroicSacrifice: He always gets better (even from otherwise fatal injuries), but this is still played straight [[spoiler:at the end of Episode 10, when he takes the time bomb the King of the Night placed on Haruna's head, allowing it to explode in midair, literally tearing himself apart. His HeroicBSOD at that moment also made his "death" a little bit longer. Haruna, Seraphim and Maelstrom reassemble him at the start of Episode 11, but it took Haruna's mind-dive to finally convince him to come back to life.]]
* HiddenDepths: He can breakdance.
* ImagineSpot: OnceAnEpisode with Delusion Eu.
-->"This is the fantasy of our weak-hearted protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu."
* KnightInShiningArmor: Swears to stay by Eu's side even after she tearfully confesses to her horrifying secret.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Towards Eu. He was captivated when he first saw her at a store shortly before he became a zombie thanks to her the night he was killed.
* MagicalGirl: [[WholesomeCrossdresser Uh, guy.]]
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Maelstrom, during their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that Maelstrom continues to insist that it's legal).
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Chris never gets his name right.
* NiceGuy: He allows three PrettyFreeloaders in his household despite two of them treating him like crap and the other doing nothing to help him.
* NiceHat: As a Magical Garment Girl shounen.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's a zombie Magical Garment Girl.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They look, act and think like normal people. Sunlight dries them out, and some can bodysurf via DemonicPossession.
* RealMenWearPink
* RocketPunch: Ayumu is not above throwing his own severed arm at an enemy if things get desperate.
* [[LeotardOfPower Unitard Of Power]][=/=]SensualSpandex: During the Manga/CatsEye parody in the first OVA. Of course, he gets them confused with leotards.
* TsurimeEyes
* WeaksauceWeakness: Direct sunlight.
* WholeCostumeReference: His jumpsuit during the CatsEye parody in the OVA.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: As a Magical Garment Girl ''and'' as a maid at a {{tsundere}} cosplay cafe.
* WouldHitAGirl: Scratch that -- he would ''chainsaw'' a girl if they messed with his friends.
* YankTheDogsChain: Zigzagged, via a ChekhovsGag through the first episodes of the first two seasons, where Ayumu was exposed as a Magical Garment Girl to his classmates after fighting a Megalo on the school grounds. Except he wasn't lucky the second time around: with Mystletainn broken and he unable to erase their memories, he ends up at the center of an InUniverse MemeticMutation, much to his despair. And even when he thought he'd finally get over that incident once Mystletainn was fixed, his classmates later had him DraggedIntoDrag again afterwards anyway, this time to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe.

----
* {{Awesome McCoolname}}
* BadassAdorable

* TheComicallySerious: Especially in ''Of the Dead'''s Delusion Eu skits.
* CryCute: Episode 4, while asking Ayumu if he can still accept her even after learning of her [[PowerIncontinence horrifying]] [[WordsCanBreakMyBones secret]]. He still does, and even swears to [[KnightInShiningArmor stay by her side whatever happens]].
** Episode ten of the second season, this lasted throughout the entire [[spoiler:fight scene with Ayumu]].
* CuteMute: Invoked.
* CutenessProximity
* DifferentInEveryEpisode: Her "[[ImagineSpot Delusion Eu]]" [[TheOtherDarrin voices]] in the anime; for the Drama CD, YukariTamura does all the (imaginary) talking.

* EmotionlessGirl: Ayumu initially assumes she's this, but Seraphim correctly guesses she's simply hiding her emotions.

* {{Expy}}: Shares a little bit of [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]], [[FateStayNight Saber]] (armored dress and [[BigEater appetite]]) and ReiAyanamiExpy.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Necromancer knight[[spoiler:[=/=]Magical Garment Girl]].
* TheNthDoctor
* OlderThanSheLooks: Probably, since she doesn't allow Seraphim to reveal her age.
* PowerIncontinence: Potentially one of the worst cases on record. Unchecked, her magic would spill out through her words and feelings. Even when she dies, her magic will rage on.
* PowerLimiter: She prevents her magic running wild by [[TwentyFourHourArmor wearing her armor]], [[TheVoiceless not speaking]], [[TheStoic and controlling her emotions]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, in episode 9 she lets her emotions get the better of her under duress, leading to some pretty nasty things happening such as her friends getting squashed by a giant kappa doll and Maelstrom nearly dying.

* SuperpowerLottery: She is without a doubt the strongest character shown thus far, able to kill by speaking. This leads to...
** StoryBreakerPower: She could easily [[CurbStompBattle defeat]] everybody introduced thus far. The only problem is that [[TechnicalPacifist she is against violence and doesn't like to hurt people]].

Her weapon of choice is a pink chainsaw named Mystletainn, but she accidentally transferred most of her powers to Ayumu while trying to erase his memory. Now only he can wield Mystletainn against the Megalo while she regenerates her powers. In the meantime, she's squatting at his house and cooking fried egg in all its forms.
----
* TheAce
* ACupAngst: Is jealous of the fact that she has the smallest bust out of the gang. Heck, even ''Eu'' is bigger, if only slightly, than her.
* AttentionWhore: At times.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Able to correctly predict the questions on Ayumu's math exam by looking at his problems.
* AxCrazy: When Haruna demands a [[ImagineSpot fantasy]] from Ayumu, the last portion of the spot involves... using Mystletainn on the mythical tree for money.
* BadassAdorable
* BareYourMidriff: Her idol attire.
* BarrierWarrior
* BigEater
* BrilliantButLazy: She ''is'' intelligent, but usually doesn't make the effort because she's not interested. This may be why she has... weird ideas about certain things.

* ChainsawGood
* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets jealous of Ayumu's [[AccidentalMarriage marriage]] to Maelstrom, and asks him to kiss her in Episode 8.

* EmpathicWeapon: Her Mystletainn, whose allegiance shifted to Ayumu after absorbing most of her powers. [[spoiler:However, in Episode 11 it reaffirms Haruna's ownership of it, allowing her to transform full-time again and help Ayumu double-team the King of the Night.]]
* {{Expy}}: Think of a more {{tsundere}}, more [[MsFanservice fanservice-tastic]] [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Rita Mordio]].

* OneNoteCook: Her fried eggs are [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood incredible]], although putting them in water bottles is going too far. [[LethalChef When she tries something else, though...]]
** Gets hilariously subverted in Episode 8. Her boiled hijiki (seaweed) is a burnt black mess, but still manages to [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood taste]] just as good as the eggs.
* PrettyFreeloader: Averted, since on occasion she does cook for Ayumu (usually [[OneNoteCook fried eggs]]).

** NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Vampire ninja maid.
** NinjaMaid
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Able to grow bat-wings that let her fly and conjure weapons from leaves. Occasionally needs to drink blood, using her kiss as an anesthetic. Apart from that, indistinguishable from a normal human (and can even walk under direct sunlight).
* PerpetualFrowner
* PrettyFreeloader: Subverted, for she does clean the house.
* RapunzelHair
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her {{Stripperiffic}} idol outfit.

* TallDarkAndBishoujo: Now with the [[YoukoHikasa voice actress]] to boot.
** TallDarkAndSnarky
* [[spoiler:ToBeLawfulOrGood: She was given orders to assassinate Eu in order to prevent more Megalo from appearing. Ayumu calls her out on it, forcing her to admit that she just doesn't have to heart do it anymore.]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Maelstrom's tomboy, and also the tomboy to Sarasvati's girly girl. The latter is basically because she uses tough language toward Ayumu and wears slacks (usually dark blue jeans, which she's often, if not always, wearing in promotional material) more often than Sarasvati (if Sarasvati even wears any pants at all).
* TomboyishPonytail

!!Maelstrom (AKA Yuki Yoshida[=/=]Tomonori)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kore_wa_zombie_desu_ka_maelstrom_9635.jpg
->'''Voiced by:''' MamikoNoto (Drama CD), HisakoKanemoto (Anime) [Japanese] and BrittneyKarbowski [English]
Another vampire ninja (from a faction which rivals Seraphim's) who fights Megalo with bowls of pork ramen. After accidentally kissing Ayumu, she finds herself married to him (becoming the fourth girl in [[UnwantedHarem Ayumu's harem]]) thanks to the traditions of her family, but seems okay with it. She also studies at Ayumu's school under the alias "Yuki Yoshida".
----
* AccidentalMarriage[=/=]AccidentalKiss: With Ayumu.
* AlliterativeName: Her schoolname.
* {{Awesome McCoolname}}
* BoyishShortHair
* CovertPervert
* EarlyBirdCameo: In Episode 1, she was among the students taking pictures of Ayumu in drag; in Episode 2, while warming up for PE; and in Episode 5, leaving a ramen shop as [[spoiler:Kyoko, who apparently slit her throat the previous episode,]] walks by.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire
* {{Gainaxing}}: Especially in season 2.
* GreenEyes
* HairDecorations: Wears a shuriken as a hair clip.
* HiddenBuxom: Played with. He clothes seem rather indecisive if they want to hide her E cups or not at any given time.
* HighPressureEmotion: Her head turns completely red when she's embarrassed.
* ImagineSpot: Has some [[HadakaApron intere]][[BlackBraAndPanties sting]] [[CovertPervert fantasies]] about getting Ayumu's attention.
* ImprobableWeaponUser[=/=]EdibleAmmunition: Ramen.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Light Feminine to Sarasvati's Dark Feminine.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Ayumu, during their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that she claims it to be legit).
* [[spoiler:{{Mon}}: Apparently has the Magical Garment Girls' ultimate weapon bonded to her. When she gets squashed by a giant kappa doll in episode 9, it triggers the invocation ritual, and it takes a CooldownHug to prevent things from getting apocalyptic.]]
* [[spoiler:MusicalAssassin: Assists Sera and Sarasvati in closing the gates of the underworld with a triangle.]]
* [[MyNameIsNotDurwood My Name Is Not Tomonori!]]: She doesn't take too kindly to her new, tomboyish-sounding nickname from Orito (an [[AlternateCharacterReading alternate reading]] of her civilian alias), but is fine with Ayumu using it (except for one moment of shock from [[spoiler:nearly dying]] in episode 9), since she found his alternative -- "Yuki-chan" -- even more embarrassing.
* {{Ninja}}
** NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Vampire ninja maid, [[PlayingWithFire who uses fire.]]
** NinjaMaid
* OreOnna: Can be mistaken for a boy, depending on what she's wearing. She also addresses herself with "Ore", a male pronoun. This isn't exactly helping her case against her tomboyish nickname "Tomonori".
* OurVampiresAreDifferent
* TaremeEyes
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Seraphim's Girly Girl. Although both are seen wearing pants (in Sera's case, this also includes jumpsuits, as seen in the OVA) in nearly every, if not every, episode, Maelstrom is definitely a {{Shorttank}} that is often mistaken for a boy depending on what she's [[HiddenBuxom wearing]] at the moment.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B.

* ElegantGothicLolita: As an idol.
* {{Fetish}}: Ayumu's backside.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* HiddenBuxom: She looks almost flat when she's wearing her normal clothes but when she's in her idol outfit we see she's anything but flat.
* HimeCut
* HypocriticalHumor: She criticizes Seraphim for not following the vampire-ninja code to the letter. She herself is an IdolSinger, which is probably an even greater offense -- one she [[LoopholeAbuse conveniently explains away]] as a mission requiring outside contact.
* IdolSinger: As "Lovely Kira".
* LargeHam

** NinjaMaid
** HighlyVisibleNinja
* OurVampiresAreDifferent
* PerpetualFrowner[=/=]DeathGlare

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:She orders Seraphim to assassinate Eu to prevent her powers from attracting more Megalo, then puts a hit on Sera herself for disobeying her orders, but is nevertheless willing to save her and Haruna from the King of the Night and even helps the former (together with Maelstrom, herself from a rival clan) seal away the gates to the netherworld.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SeriousBusiness
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl To Seraphim's Tomboy. Compared to Sera, she rarely, if ever, uses tough language or wears pants. This could possibly be the only series where both the tomboy and girly girl in a given dynamic are TallDarkAndBishoujo.
* TsurimeEyes
* TheVamp: To her fans.

** [[spoiler:Averted in Episode 8 of Season 2, where she outright states that even she's confused by these feelings for him, after stabbing him yet again with her sword. She then tells him her punishment is to be forgotten by everyone, but he promises her he won't, no matter how much time passes.]]

* [[spoiler:WoundedGazelleGambit: Plays herself up as a beleaguered girl until the graveyard meeting.]]
* [[spoiler:{{Yandere}}: Subverted in Season 1 (she was only pretending to like him). Played straight in Season 2, when she genuinely falls for him, and tells him such, right after she stabs him yet again with her sword, which somehow turns into a hug.]]
* [[spoiler:YourSoulIsMine: Attempts to gain immortality by killing people and offering their souls up for power. This also gives her a stack of extra lives as well as Megalo and Vampire powers.]]
