9'''Beware of unmarked spoilers.'''
10
11[[foldercontrol]]
12
13[[folder:The Literature Club]]
14!!The whole group [[spoiler:(''Virgin Child'')]]
15[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/virgin_child_7674.jpg]]
16[[caption-width-right:350: [[CaptainObvious Yes,]] [[ShoutOut they are doing a]] [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo reference.]]]]
17Used to be just a regular school club, but suddenly found themselves awakening awesome superpowers [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Dark and Dark]]. It affects their life very little.
18----
19* GiverOfLameNames: Most of the group when Andou coaxes them into making up nicknames. Subverted with Tomoyo and zigzagged with Andou himself, who comes up with so many that they fill the whole scale from cringeworthy to awesome.
20* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Invoked. They try pretty hard to conceal their superpowers from the public. [[spoiler:Also, the characters themselves: there's a superpowered BattleRoyale going on and they have no idea.]]
21
22!!Jurai Andou
23[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/andou_4276.jpg]]
24-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (Japanese), Mateo Mpinduzi-Mott (English)
25The protagonist of the series, a boy who's stuck in his chuuni phase but kind-hearted and caring. His power is ''Dark and Dark'', the ability to summon a (useless and lukewarm) black flame.
26----
27* AwesomeMcCoolname: Guiltia Sin Jurai. He knows it's awesome because he came up with it himself.
28* BookSmart: He gets pretty good grades and is the second smartest character in the club, tied with Hatoko. He also knows lots of useless trivia about "cool" things like the Schrodinger's cat experiment, various mythologies, legendary weapons, torture devices and so on, once acing a quiz that stumped adults.
29* ButtMonkey: Lost the SuperpowerLottery (from an outside perspective, anyway) and constantly gets the short end of the stick.
30* ChickMagnet
31* ChildhoodFriends: With Hatoko. He's known her since elementary school and supported her since then.
32* {{Chuunibyou}}: He is one and he's proud of it. He loves anything "dark and edgy", making obscure references to things from various mythologies and using GratuitousEnglish when it's not really necessary.
33* CompanionCube: Says good morning and good night to his superpower every day.
34* DarkIsNotEvil: He calls his power ''Dark and Dark'' and is fond of the "darkness", "evil", and "sin" motifs, but is a nice person who selflessly helps people.
35* DeadlyUpgrade: ''Dark and Dark of the End''. [[spoiler:In exchange for becoming an actual offensive power, it burns him as well, and can't be extinguished by any means other than loss of the hand, which was only recovered from the first time due to the state-reversion power Root of Origin.]]
36* {{Engrish}}: His pronunciation of English is actually pretty good, but the syntax and spelling... He didn't know how to spell "Literature/TheBible" and wrote it "Vivre".
37* FauxFlame: ''Dark and Dark.''
38* GratuitousEnglish: Part of his chuunibyou persona.
39* GuileHero: He may be the least capable fighter with powers and still largely useless in a fight without them, but behind his ObfuscatingStupidity, He's the most emotionally and socially intelligent member of the club. He counsels the others when something's troubling them, and he's capable of a BatmanGambit or XanatosGambit if the stakes are high enough.
40* InnocentlyInsensitive: When he tells Hatoko one too many times that she won't understand his deeds with Tomoko (they were just talking about their powers), she takes it as them being a couple and distancing himself from her and she snaps and rants at him in the show's signature scene.
41* LargeHam: Shamelessly overacting and loves dramatic flair.
42* MoralityChain: A low-stakes example. He is the one who thought through and investigated each of the powers, he's the one who tells the others what should be off-limits (CreatingLife, [[{{Necromancer}} bringing back the dead]]), and he's also the one who tells them when it's okay to make an exception (healing a dying cat). [[spoiler:The others serve the same capacity with [[DeadlyUpgrade ''Dark and Dark of the End'']], since he requires their help to make use of it.]]
43* NiceGuy: For all his Chuuni delusions and grandstanding, he is a genuinely kind and caring person and the happiness and well being of his friends is always his top priority.
44* TheNicknamer: Comes up with nicknames for ''everything'', including the names of most superpowers in the series.
45%%* NonActionGuy
46* PersonalityPowers: ''Dark and Dark'' is dramatic, but its harmless nature reflects his conviction that superpowers are toys, not weapons. [[spoiler:''Dark and Dark of the End'' embodies this philosophy, in accordance with his sense of empathy: using his superpower as an actual weapon requires him to bear the same pain as any enemy he uses it against, and he can't turn it off, forcing him to rely on others.]]
47* PowerIncontinence: Insists that his dark powers cannot be controlled, only restrained. [[spoiler:''Dark and Dark of the End'' suffers from just that.]]
48* PlayingWithFire: Dark And Dark lets him summon an orb of black flame from his hand. It looks cool, but has no actual use.
49* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it “Jurai” or “July”?
50* StockLightNovelEveryman: Andou is both a parody and deconstruction that analyzes the differences between this trope and the StockLightNovelHero. His firm belief is that powers should never be used to hurt other people, thus most of the group's problems are solved by talking things out or finding alternative solutions.
51* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: ''Dark and Dark'' doesn't do anything but look cool. He considers this a subversion--in his eyes, superpowers exist to be cool, not to harm others. [[spoiler:DoubleSubverted. Its "awoken" next stage, ''Dark and Dark of the End'', initially has its effects shown offscreen, and the girls make him swear to not use it again, just like he made them swear to not create life or raise the dead... but it turns out that it's not just useless, but it can actually kill him.]]
52
53!!Tomoyo Kanzaki
54[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tomoyo_1389.jpg]]
55-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukaYamazaki (Japanese), Creator/ShanaeaMoore (English)
56A former chuuni who is constantly annoyed at Andou's antics and trying to get him back to reality. Her power is ''Closed Clock'', which lets her stop time.
57----
58* ACupAngst: Especially when teased by Mirei.
59* BookDumb: She gets below average scores on tests. She finds out that she's worse at studying than everyone else in the club, and much to her horror, that includes Andou.
60* {{Chuunibyou}}: To a much lower extent than Andou, but still has traces of this and sometimes goes along to his antics. [[spoiler:She tries to channel her imagination into becoming a light novel author.]]
61%%* FieryRedhead
62* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: In her full-blown chuuni days.
63* MundaneUtility: Stops time to be able to hit a ball while playing tennis, among other things.
64* TimeMaster: Her ''Closed Clock'' ability lets her fast forward, slow down, and stop time.
65* TimeStandsStill: How her ability is represented.
66%%* {{Tsundere}}
67
68!!Hatoko Kushikawa
69[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hatoko_3716.jpg]]
70-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaoriHayami (Japanese), Creator/MelissaMolano (English)
71Andou's childhood friend, a kind-hearted ditz. Her power is ''Over Element'', which gives her mastery over the elements.
72----
73* BewareTheNiceOnes: Even she has her limits for politeness. Being told one too many times that she won't get an obscure reference, for instance.
74* ChildhoodFriends: She's known Andou since elementary school and politely listened to him since then. She very much wants it to become a ChildhoodFriendRomance.
75* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Hatoko spaces out at times.
76* CuteClumsyGirl: She tries this out in episode 11 after reading about it in a girl's magazine on how to win a guy's heart. Unfortunately all of her efforts don't go as planned, such as giving him an empty bottle of sunscreen when she asks him to put some on her. The end result is that Andou gets confused by her actions.
77%%* TheDitz
78* ElementalPowers: Her ''Over Element'' can control [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[MakingASplash water]], [[DishingOutDirt earth]], [[BlowYouAway wind]] and {{light|EmUp}}. She's also shown using [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] in the opening.
79* FeminineWomenCanCook: She is the most feminine girl in the cast, and her signature scene is prefaced by her cooking.
80* GreenEyedMonster: Her signature rant in Episode 7 was prompted by Andou and Tomoyo spending more time together, making Hatoko believe that she's slowly starting to lose out in the love rivarly and that her relationship with Andou is being shut off. When she asks what the two of them talked about, and he says "You wouldn't understand", she ''[[RageBreakingPoint snaps]]'' from that assumption. Tomoyo picks up on this and explains the real reason why she and Andou had been spending time together, which makes Hatoko cry with relief.
81* InformedAbility: She can control five elements, of which the audience only sees earth, water, and fire.
82* InverseLawOfUtilityAndLethality: Only gets to use her superpower once aside from the club's sparring, since it's pretty good for combat but not for much else, and they aren't having any [[TitleDrop superpowered battles in their everyday lives]].
83* NiceGirl: She's really polite and willing to help others in need.
84* NonUniformUniform: She wears a loose cardigan with her uniform.
85* RageBreakingPoint: Hatoko struggles to understand Andou's interests and tastes, despite desperately wanting to because of the crush she has on him. After days of feeling like she was losing Andou to Tomoyo, the moment he refuses to tell her what the two of them talked about because she "wouldn't understand" causes Hatoko to snap.
86* RoseHairedSweetie: Most of the time, she's the sweetest member of the cast.
87
88!!Sayumi Takanashi
89[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sayuri_777.jpg]]
90-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RisaTaneda (Japanese), Creator/MaggieFlecknoe (English)
91Aloof martial arts master who's mostly there to underreact to the others' antics. Her power is ''Root of Origin'', which lets her restore objects to their original state.
92----
93* AcademicAthlete: Tied with Mirei as far as studies go, and is a master of karate.
94* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She fits the image and general demeanor, but sometimes gets in on the rest of the groups hijinks.
95* BuxomBeautyStandard: Other characters sometimes comment on her busty figure.
96* HealingHands: Uses her power to do this often.
97* HeroicVow: Andou convinces her to swear not to use her powers to resurrect the dead.
98* MundaneUtility: Uses her power to heal scratches, repair clothes, teleport to avoid getting wet and so on.
99* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears them with her uniform, is from a well-off family, and has very high standards for herself.
100* SemanticSuperpower: In contrast to other superpowers in the series being straightforward, ''Root of Origin'' relies entirely on interpretation of what constitutes "original state". By deciding it means "where I came from just now", she can teleport backwards, for example. {{Lampshaded}} when Andou mentions they are still confused with the definition.
101* TimeMaster: Her ''Root of Origin'' effectively lets her rewind time to a limited degree, albeit memories of those who are restored are unaffected.
102
103!!Chifuyu Himeki
104[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chifuyu_7032.jpg]]
105-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NanamiYamashita (Japanese), Sasha Paysinger (English)
106The youngest of the group, being in elementary school and all. Her power is ''World Create'', which lets her create anything from nothing.
107----
108* BrilliantButLazy: Gets either 100 or 0 on tests depending on her mood. When she's asked about homework she sidesteps the issue.
109* ChildrenAreInnocent: She is in fourth grade but she still carries a stuffed animal with her everywhere she goes, including to school. And while she’s happy to use her superpower to create cosplay outfits for the whole club, she has to be shown a picture of a chainmail bikini first because she doesn’t know what one is and appears completely unfazed by wearing a straitjacket. She is also not bothered by seeing Andou in his underwear.
110* HeroicVow: Andou convinces her to swear not to use her powers to create life.
111* MundaneUtility: She mainly uses her power to create things for the group to play with, such as a tennis court and equipment, and to make warp portals to get to places quickly.
112* NotSoStoic: Even Chifuyu has moments that reduce her to tears, like [[spoiler: having to create implements to cut her friends' hands off to save their lives]].
113* PowerOfCreation: Her ''World Create'' allows her to create matter and warp space.
114* SmarterThanYouLook: [[ChildrenAreInnocent She often acts like a typical innocent elementary school girl]]. However, she happens to be very smart, cunning, and GenreSavvy enough to at least understand (and tease) Andou's chuuni antics.
115* SpaceMaster: Her power also allows her to create portals to other locations.
116* TheStoic: She rarely emotes, even in situations when she wouldn't be out of place doing so.
117* TokenMiniMoe: She's in elementary school while everyone else is in high school.

121[[folder:Other students and staff]]
122!!Mirei Kudou
123[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nyksnpe_3074.jpg]]
124-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriFukuhara (Japanese), Melissa Pritchett (English)
125Council president who is jealous of the Literature Club's chemistry. Her power is Grateful Robber, which lets her steal any other power if she sees it being used.
126----
127* BuxomBeautyStandard: Her chest is larger than Tomoyo's, so she invokes this to mock her.
128* DemotedToExtra: Set up as the rival to the Literature Club, gets features in the opening as much as the four main girls, barely seen or even mentioned after the second episode.
129* OutOfFocus: Her fate up until the end.
130* PowerParasite: Can steal any power if she sees it being activated.
131%%* StudentCouncilPresident
132* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Being able to steal superpowers isn't that good a power if there's no one to steal them from.
133
134!!Shizumu Sagami
135-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshimasaHosoya (Japanese), Creator/BlakeShepard (English)
136A boy who constantly gets dumped by girls due to his otaku behavior. Despite both enjoying anime, he and Jurai do not get along.
137%%Sagami did nothing wrong.
138----
139* AudienceSurrogate: Played with. He refers to himself as one but he is most definitely not. [[spoiler:In reality, he's a manipulative antagonist that actively seeks to hurt most of the cast for his own entertainment.]]
140* BigBad: [[spoiler:He is the primary antagonist for the Virgin Child.]]
141* BitchInSheepsClothing: Initially, he [[SitcomArchNemesis doesn't seem so bad]] when Andou runs into him in the Faculty Office, but it is later revealed that [[spoiler:he's a manipulative JerkAss that [[LackOfEmpathy views other people as nothing more than performers to entertain him.]] He thoroughly enjoys mocking Andou in episode 7 after Hatoko ran away from his house, and in episode 9 he says he wants to watch what would happen if Sayumi got into a relationship with Andou purely because he believes it would cause a lot of painful drama for the Literature Club. And when that fails, he has a backup plan for that as well. Sounding like a SmugSnake doesn't help either.]]
142* BrutalHonesty: Guilty of this at times, mainly to get a reaction out of people, because he's not a stranger to [[ILied lying]] for fun either.
143* ForTheLulz: [[spoiler:Everything he does to the main cast is to amuse himself.]]
144* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:In spades. He always speaks calmly with an air of politeness and acts like he cares, but he's condescending, manipulative and selfish.]]
145%%* {{Jerkass}}: Quite.
146* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:thanks to his efforts two children had their hands cut off, and he gets off with a warning. The only repercussion for any of his actions was getting punched in the face for tricking Sayumi into getting embarrassed, which was a completely unrelated incident.]]
147* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:he has zero concern for other people and thinks they exist only to entertain him.]]
148* NotSoSimilar: They are both massive nerds who aren't satisfied with the reality they live in. Andou is ultimately a kind-hearted, self-sacrificial, altruistic person while Sagami is [[spoiler:a ruthless, sociopathic, manipulative jerk and the show's primary antagonist.]]
149* {{Otaku}}: Likes watching anime.
150
151
152!!Shiharu Satomi
153-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriNazuka (Japanese), Kaytha Coker (English)
154The literary club's advisor and Chifuyu's aunt, who often brings Chifuyu to the club due to her busy schedule.
155[[/folder]]
156
157[[folder:Other characters]]
158!!Kiryu Hajime
159[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hajime_5161.jpg]]
160-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakumaTerashima (Japanese), Benjamin McLaughlin (English)
161College dropout suffering from chuuni to an even bigger extent than Andou. [[spoiler: His power is Pinpoint Abyss, which lets him summon black holes.]]
162----
163* AffablyEvil: He seems to deliberately invoke this kind of persona as part of being a chuunibyou. Though he seems to show a more serious side, more often than not he also shows off a goofy side to himself, [[spoiler:such as how he ends up defeating and befriending System in episode 8 merely by telling her he had some candy and wanted to be friends with her.]]
164* AntiHero: He does have a "bad guy" vibe and even an [[AwesomeMcCoolname evil sounding nickname.]] But in reality, he never actively opposes the Literature Club members, [[spoiler:except when he accidentally kidnaps Hatoko instead of Sayumi to borrow her healing for his infected eye. And the opponents he does fight seem to have malicious intents with their powers. Otherwise he seems to want to keep them out of the Fairy War altogether.]]
165* AwesomeMcCoolName: Kiryuu Heldkaiser [[LouisCypher Luci First]]. He knows it's awesome because he came up with it himself.
166* {{Chuunibyou}}: Has chuuni to the point where it affects his life very badly.
167* EyepatchOfPower: Gains one because he wore his colored contact lens 24/7, leading to his eye getting irritated.
168* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: In a typical chuuni fashion.
169* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:He fights dirty and has no qualms with kidnapping and brainwashing a person just to heal his inflamed eye, but he treats his group rather well and, more importantly, genuinely likes the Literature Club and [[LockedOutOfTheLoop keeps them blissfully unaware]] of the supernatural war that is going on. Ultimately, when he wins the Fairy War, he makes a SelflessWish of saving another character's sister from her coma.]]
170* GravityMaster: [[spoiler:His Pinpoint Abyss lets him summon black holes.]]
171%%* LargeHam
172* MagneticHero: [[spoiler:Gathers a group of people to fight in the Fairy War together.]]
173* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His enemies call Ancient Lucifer.
174* TheNicknamer: Being a chuuni and all. [[spoiler:Comes up with nicknames for his group's superpowers just like Andou does.]]
175
176!!Hitomi Saito
177-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyumiFujimura (Japanese), Regina Chen (English)
178The second-in-command of Hajime's group.
179----
180* HypnoticEyes: Which is called "Eternal Wink"
181%%* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Kiryu.
182
183!!System
184-->'''Voiced by:''' Kris Saltiel (English)
185A mysterious girl Kiryu Hajime & his team rescued from the F Group.
186----
187* CreepyChild
188* DeadlyUpgrade: The F Group somehow amplified her power [[CastFromLifespan at the cost of her lifespan]].
189
190!!Madoka Kuki
191-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EmiriKatou (Japanese), Creator/TerriDoty (English)
192Chifuyu's best friend and classmate in elementary school. She's very overprotective of Chifuyu.
193----
194* AffectionateNickname: Chifuyu calls her "Cookie".
195
196!!Maiya Takanashi
197-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SumireMorohoshi (Japanese), Karlii Hoch (English)
198Sayumi's younger sister.
199----
200* ShipperOnDeck: Tries to get Sayumi and Andou together.
