| 9 | |
| 10 | Houshou Private High School; 2nd Year, Class 1 |
| 11 | |
| 12 | A normally quiet girl in class who's secretly a fanatic for insects. It's her and her knowledge of the creepy and the crawly, along with her wilderness survivor know-how, that the group must rely on in order to get them to a safe place and keep them all from dying to the many deadly insects they meet along the way. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * ApologeticAttacker: She's reduced to tears over having to kill insects, even to save her classmates and herself. |
| 15 | * BrainyBrunette: Has long brown hair and when it comes to bugs, she's the most reliable. |
| 16 | * CovertPervert: Not apparent at the start of the story, but it becomes more noticeable that Matsumi might be more interested in sex then she lets on. [[spoiler: This is all but confirmed in the third story arc where she has consensual sex with Julia (although it's mostly a way to make herself look less suspicious) and apparently imagines that she's being molested by a bug resulting in her enjoying the experience a bit to much. She latter on has an actual sex dream involving Julia, and Chitose doming her while her mentor watches.]] |
| 17 | * ChekhovsHobby: Even before using her skill to battle off and kill the island's giant insect population, Mutsumi had displayed some knowledge of how to survive in the wilderness, and her knowledge of a variety of insect types. The captain makes reference to the idea that Mutsumi had just been a loner girl who liked to sit in the back of the class reading about insects. |
| 18 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Her best friend Naruse Chitose has a crush on her, Matsuoka Ayumi had unrequited feelings for her, and Aoyama Nozomi and Nakasone Kagami both sexually assault her in ''Dai Kyochuu Rettou''. On the third island, Julia also shows attraction to Mutsumi and actively seeks a sexual relationship with her. [[spoiler: And, if Mutsumi's dream is anything to go by, the attraction is far from one sided.]] |
| 19 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: Despite her helpful skills and attitude, this is one of her major flaws. Mutsumi [[EasilyForgiven easily forgives]] the TokenEvilTeammate of the group and those who betrayed her, who repay her kindness by either molesting her or almost getting her killed, though others like [[spoiler:Suzuki]] are not so fortunate to survive those she forgives. |
| 20 | * FriendToBugs: When she was young she was scared of bugs, but after spending time with Enoki-sensei she eventually became the bug-loving girl we all know. It's to the point where she's initially reluctant to harm any insects -- even the giant ones that are eating her classmates -- and breaks down in tears apologizing when she's forced to. |
| 21 | * ICallItVera: Calls her beloved backpack "Gomaotto", and occasionally appears to talk to it (although it's implied to be more of a deliberate focusing technique than anything weird). In the manga, it proves invaluable for containing her hiking and insect-collecting supplies and literature, as well as [[PocketProtector absorbing more than one blow that would've otherwise killed her.]] |
| 22 | * IgnoredExpert: Whenever her classmates ignore her advice, their survival rate drops from unlikely to nothing. |
| 23 | * ImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Apparently has one while having sex with Julia, while imagining the other girl as a giant bug no less.]] |
| 24 | * SignatureHeadgear: Mutsumi wears a very distinguishing hat since the time of her plane crash, and is rarely seen without it since. Also somewhat doubles as a HatOfAuthority since she usually ends up in charge of the situation and telling people what to do when the latest insect emergency arises. |
| 25 | * TheSmartGuy: Thanks to all her time sitting in the back of the class reading up on insects, she is well versed in information about them and their habits, along with how to survive in an emergency situation such as being lost in a place with no help for a few days. It is this intelligence that everyone must rely on in order to survive. |

| 32 | |
| 33 | Houshou Private High School; 2nd Year, Class 1 |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Class representative of Class 1, a righteous-minded girl and best friend of Mutsumi. She seeks to not only survive herself, but stay on the right path and save others as well, even when they may not entirely deserve it. |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * BraidsOfAction: Her hair is tied in two long braids, and once she has the chance, she proves her badass credentials. |
| 38 | * ClassRepresentative: She was this back in school, and is even called by the other students. |
| 39 | * DamselInDistress: Gets kidnapped by a wasp at the end of the first chapter, forcing Mutsumi to save her and is later tied up by Misuzu and Kamijo. Then in the sequel manga, she is basically taken hostage by Kyousuke and his followers as a means to try to control Mutsumi. |
| 40 | * GoingCommando: Because Misuzu took off her panties and then a crab ate them, she's forced to walk this way. |
| 41 | * HeroicSeductress: Forced into acting as this in the sequel manga in order to protect Mutsumi from Kyousuke. |
| 42 | * ImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Kyosuke forces her to have one during his sexual assault. Also counts as a ForcefulOrgasm as, unlike with Toki, it's a very unpleasant experience for her.]] |
| 43 | * TheLancer: Not only she's Mutsumi's closest friend, she's the one who follows her advice the most. |
| 44 | * MsFanservice: While almost all the girls can be considered this, Chitose is probably the most noticeable in that the artist seems to constantly draw her in borderline centerfold poses and revealing outfits as much as possible. [[spoiler: The fact that her sexual assault scene is very gratuitous and drawn out also lends to the idea of her being this.]] |
| 45 | * ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: Downplayed in that she simply seems to have a rather negative view on sex, or at least people who use sex to get what they want. [[spoiler: The fact that none of her own sexual experiences so far have been consensual in any way probably doesn't help.]] |
| 46 | * PutOnABus: Reluctantly leaves the plot at the start of the third arc, unaware that Mutsumi is still attempting to solve the mystery of the giant insects until she is already on the plane home. |
| 47 | * RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler: Kyosuke holds her at gunpoint and forces her to give him a blow job and sexually assaults her while his comrades force Mutsumi to watch. He is only stopped from doing worse after being interrupted by the sound of gunfire.]] |

| 58 | ---- |

| 61 | * HugeSchoolgirl: She's one of the tallest girls in the group. |

| 74 | ---- |
| 75 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: Unlike Kamijou, Misuzu shows that her humanity is still intact when she sacrifices herself to save her group. Mami, who is among her primary victim, even mourns her death.]] |
| 76 | * DepravedBisexual: She has sex with multiple men, but also molests Mami and tries to rape Chitose. |
| 77 | * EnemyMine: She initially conspires with Kamijo against Mutsumi, but when it becomes clear that keeping Mutsumi alive is her best chance at surviving she changes sides. |
| 78 | * EvilRedhead: Not necessarily evil, but acts like a bitch a lot of the time, and is willing to sacrifice others if it means her own survival. This trait mellows out somewhat as the story progresses, [[spoiler:to the point where she sacrifices herself so the others can escape]]. |
| 79 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: When she comes face-to-face with a giant centipede, Misuzu shows no fear and swings her axe at the centipede just as the ship she is on explodes]]. |
| 80 | * HeelFaceTurn: Misuzu started off as a bullying AlphaBitch who has conspire with Kamijo to get Mutsumi killed but she eventually pull her own weight for the group and [[spoiler:even perform a HeroicSacrifice]]. |
| 81 | * HeroicSacrifice: When the giant centipede attacks the ship while the group is trying to escape, [[spoiler:Jinno sacrifices herself to distract it and blow the ship up.]] |
| 82 | * LadySwearsALot: The English dub has her drop curse words far more frequently than in the original, more so than Ayumi, especially words like "shit" and "fuck." |
| 83 | * SextraCredit: Was spotted having sex with one of her teachers by Chitose in order to get a good grade on an upcoming test. |
| 84 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: At first she wore a jacket, but once she loses it to giant crabs, she spends the rest of her time wearing only a tank-top with no bra, tiny shorts and boots. |

| 96 | * EatenAlive: He's impregnated by giant botfly larvae that eat him from the inside out before bursting from his distended abdomen. |
| 97 | * HateSink: Sure they are a few in the group but Kamijou stands out as the most despicable of them all. Not only he attempted to get Mutsumi killed on more than one occassion, he had molested several girls and even blackmails them to becoming his SexSlave with the promise of protection. |
| 98 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After threatening Suzuki into having sex with him, he's anally raped by a giant botfly. Unfortunately, Suzuki suffers a similar fate. |
| 99 | * LeaderWannabe: He immediately proclaims himself leader, but all he does is being a petty thug and walk straight into danger. The only reason he lasts so long is that he begrudgingly started following Mutsumi's orders. |
| 100 | * TheLoad: As soon as a stinkbug bites him, he whines and becomes totally useless. |
| 101 | * MoralityChain: The only person he ever showed genuine care was his friend Akira, and he became infinitely worse the moment he died. |
| 102 | * SanitySlippage: While already a nasty person, he becomes increasingly unhinged as the story progresses. |
| 103 | * SexSignalsDeath: He blackmails Suzuki into having sex with him, leading to them both being raped and impregnated by giant botflies, whose larvae eat them from the inside-out. |
| 104 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Acts as if he's a badass who everyone should obey, but he's nothing more than a stupid thug that only survives for so long thanks to dumb luck and the fact Mutsumi won't let him die. |
| 105 | * TheStarscream: Attempted several times to unsurp leadership over Mutsumi. |
| 106 | * TokenEvilTeammate: While the is not the only one, Kamijou is definately the worst of them. |
| 107 | * TooDumbToLive: While his stupidity had already gotten him into trouble before, his final one takes the grand prize: Mutsumi warns him they need to keep the fire going so the smoke scares off the insects, and that they're attracted to sweat and carbon dioxide. So what does he do? Forcing Suzuki to have sex with him (which obviously involves lots of sweat and breathing), and then they both fall asleep. Three guesses what happened next, and the first two don't count. |

| 117 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''ami '''M'''iura |
| 118 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Began a relationship with Matsuoka in exchange for protection, but it's uncertain if she really swings that way, or if she was just using her sex appeal and Matsuoka's sexuality to manipulate Matsuoka into protecting her. Notably, she is one of the few long running females to show no sexual attraction whatsoever to Oribe. Later, on the second island, she shows immediate and obvious attraction to the guy fixing their potential getaway boat, only to become weirded out when she hears about his reputation for "pumping and dumping". |
| 119 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She doesn't hesitate to turn the tables on Misuzu, who bullied her, and flashes a nasty SlasherSmile. |
| 120 | * BringMyBrownPants: Urinates herself when she sees the Protohermes Grandis splitting Shirakawa in half. |
| 121 | * PrecisionFStrike: While not a LadySwearsALot, the English dub has her drop a few curse words for added comedic or dramatic effect, such as "That knife didn't do fucking jack shit!" or "I refuse to fuck you if I die!" |
| 122 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Hair is a pretty shade of bubblegum pink, though slightly subverted as, even though she may act this way with most people, she also has a darker, more manipulative side. |
| 123 | * TeenIdol: She's a fairly popular one, due to her cute nature. |
| 124 | * IdolSinger: Mami has made mention that she has produced a CD that has sold an impressive amount of copies, and is fairly famous in their school. |
| 125 | * RapeAsDrama: Was pimped out by her own idol office and raped by an idol industry executive. |

Even back when he was in school, he was shown to want to help people being bullied. |
| 143 | * MasterOfUnlocking: Was the one to get the group into the hospital initially, claiming he got in through an open window, but he reveals later on that he had actually picked the lock on the hospital door and just lied about it. He claims that things like this are his specialty. |

Nozomi promptly bashes Nakasone over the head with a folding chair, and remains hostile (and jealous) towards her. |

| 331 | ** Unfortunately, it comes roaring right back in the sequel, as she consistently tries to prevent Kai and Mami from pointing guns at people ''who are already pointing guns at them and taking people hostage''. Predictably, this gets her shot in a tense standoff. |
| 332 | * OnlySaneMan: Of her ship's crew, the only one to realize the gravity of the situation and start reacting accordingly. She's also one of the few characters to start listening to Oribe immediately and never questions here expertise about bugs. Subverted later when being a stickler for the law means she fails to grasp that when hostile people are waving guns at you, you should wave guns at them back. |

While the islanders have reasons not to trust outsiders, Kyousuke betrays Mutsumi's group several times even after Mutsumi saves his ass. When he does finally acknowledge Mutsumi as a person of value for his group's survival, he plans to assert his dominance over her through sexual assault.

| 388 | * GlorifiedSpermDonor: He is very notorious for impregnating every woman he has ever slept with but would never stick around to take care of his children. The Tatsuno Kami Island survivors have admitted that they are not sure how many children he has fathered at this point, and warn the women of Mutsumi's group not to go near him unless they want to end up pregnant.

Although her attempt is the least malicious example in this series, as Kagami foolishly believed Norika's "romantic advice" that was basically a combination of NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization and SexEqualsLove. Nozomi stopped Kagami by hitting her in the head with a folding chair before she took it too far. After realizing that Norika's claims were false, Kagami apologized to Mutsumi for her actions, and keeps it in her pants for the rest of the arc. |

Thankfully, Kagami was stopped by Nozomi before things went too far, and she sincerely apologized for her actions shortly afterwards.
