In this work, "Kaii to Otome to Spirited Away," the characters pursue various strange phenomena and urban legends that occur in everyday life and solve the problems, and the mysterious world view unfolds around the unique characters. As such, the mysterious style of this work is also popular, but the greatest appeal of this work is not only the mystery depictions that draw everyone in, but also the unique characters who play an active role in those mystery depictions. In particular, this work features various types of female characters, and is supported by a wide range of male readers. Since many popular characters will appear throughout the story, anime fans who have not yet become familiar with the characters that appear in this work should definitely check out the characters that appear in this work in this article.
Ogawa Sumireko
The protagonist of this work is Igawa Sumireko. Sumireko is a 28-year-old woman who works part-time at a bookstore, and is characterized by a mole on her right eye and a dynamite body. She is the protagonist of this work, and is depicted as a character who gets involved in various incidents throughout the story along with her co-worker, Adano Ren.
A writer in a slump
Sumireko was originally a talented writer who made her debut at the age of 15, and once won a new writer's award and attracted a lot of attention. However, recently she has been unable to come up with the unique settings she once did, and according to her, she has started to create ordinary works that can be found anywhere. She is currently in a slump, and it will be interesting to see how she approaches creating her works throughout the story, as well as her growth as a writer.
Return to her younger self
Apart from being a writer, Sumireko was an ordinary person like any other. However, one day, after receiving a "book on reverse shoplifting" from the manager of the store where she worked part-time, she suddenly reverted to her younger self, and as a result of the incident, she was able to freely switch between her childhood body and her current body. In the story, Sumireko uses this ability to overcome various difficulties.
The voice actor is Ai Fairouz
The voice of Sumireko is voice actress Ai Fairouz. Fairouz is famous for her role as Hibiki Sakura, the main character of How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?. The voice of Hibiki that she won in How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? was her actual debut, and considering that this work began airing in 2019, it can be said that she is still a new voice actress. However, since she won the lead role in her debut work and later won the voice of Sumireko, the main character of this work, it is certain that she is a very talented voice actress.
Adano Ren
Adano Ren is an acquaintance of Sumireko's from her part-time job and is also the other main character of this work. Ren is a young man with unkempt black hair and a fearless smile, and is depicted in the work as a person who pursues supernatural phenomena. He is good friends with Sumireko, the other main character of this work, and they acted together when she was involved in an incident related to supernatural phenomena due to the "reverse shoplifting book". In contrast to Sumireko, he is knowledgeable about supernatural phenomena and is in charge of the part in the work that explains supernatural phenomena.
Sumireko's fan
He is not only a colleague of Kaoruko's part-time job, but also a fan of her novels. In the chat scene at the bookstore at the beginning, there are many scenes where he is friendly towards Sumireko, and he seems to be a person who is quite close to her. On the other hand, he is silent and unfriendly towards people other than Sumireko, and is portrayed as a character with a big difference in temperature between him and the other characters.
A person from another world? ?
Ren is a character who is very knowledgeable about supernatural phenomena in the story, and his vast knowledge of supernatural phenomena helps Sumireko in various situations. However, on the other hand, his knowledge of supernatural phenomena is so extensive that there are many scenes in which it is doubtful whether he is really human. His true identity will be revealed later, but for now, let's keep in mind that he is not an enemy, but a reliable ally who acts together with Sumireko.
The voice actor is Yamashita Daiki
The voice of Ren, the mysterious protagonist whose identity is unclear, is voice actor Yamashita Daiki. Yamashita Daiki is known for his voice acting for Onoda Sakamichi in "Yowamushi Pedal". He is a voice actor with a very energetic and youthful voice, so it will be interesting to see how he will voice Ren, who has a somewhat demure atmosphere. We may also get to see Yamashita's performance as a demure character that we have not seen before.
Adashino Otsu
In addition, the other main character of this work is Ren's younger sister, Adashino Otsu. She is a character characterized by straight black hair and a cute doll-like face, and like her brother, she will be active in supernatural-related cases. She seems to be extremely fond of her brother, and seems to be somewhat hostile towards the other main character, Sumireko, who is close to her brother. Her interactions with Sumireko are also very interesting, so be sure to keep an eye on her.
Attending Koone Girls' Academy
Otsu is currently a student at Koone Girls' Academy, a junior high school, and seems to be involved in strange incidents related to the school. The school uniform she wears is also very cute and popular, and she has a loyal fanbase in the work. She is a female character with a charm that contrasts with the main character Sumireko, so opinions are divided on whether she is on Sumireko's side or Otsu's side in this work.
A person from another world? ?
His older brother Ren has many depictions that are not human, and it is said that he may not be human, but his younger sister Oto is also unable to read everyday characters, giving off a somewhat non-human vibe. Along with her brother, she is still a mysterious character, so be sure to pay attention to the secrets of the siblings that will be revealed throughout the story.
The voice actor is Eri Yukimura
The voice of Oto, the third protagonist of this work, is voice actress Eri Yukimura. Yukimura is known for her voice of Tsushima in "A Certain Magical Index III" and Rain in "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime". She is a very popular voice actress with a cute appearance, and she has many personal fans. I'm sure there are many fans who are interested in watching this work because Yukimura will be appearing in it.
Azeme Manami
Azeme Manami is a teacher at Koone Girls' Academy, where Otsu attends, and is the temporary homeroom teacher for Otsu's class. She is a person who becomes embroiled in the mysterious incidents that occur around Otsu, and plays a major role in the main episodes of this work. There is a special introduction section for this character on the official website of this work, so be sure to check it out.
A teacher who cares about her students
Manami is portrayed as a teacher who cares about her students very much. There are many scenes in the story where she seriously deals with bullying issues, and she really does have the image of a reliable teacher. However, as the story progresses, she is also a character whose suspicious behavior gradually becomes more noticeable, so be sure to pay attention to what role she plays throughout the story.
Most popular
Manami is the most popular character among the main characters, excluding the three main characters, and has some passionate fans. When it was decided that this work would be animated, some fans were more excited about being able to see footage of Manami-sensei than about the animation of the work itself. She is one of the best-designed female characters in the work, so be sure to check her out.
Voice actor is Yui Horie
The voice of Manami, one of the best-designed female characters in this work, is voice actress Yui Horie. Yui Horie is known for her roles as Tsubasa Hanekawa in the Monogatari series and Wiz in KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! She is a voice actress who excels at voices of gentle, mature women, making her the perfect voice actress to voice Manami, a school teacher.
Slightly naughty characters! ?
As you can see, many fascinating characters appear in this work, "Kaii to Otome to Spirited Away," but the distinctive feature of the characters that appear in this work is that there are many depictions that will please male fans. The main character, Sumireko, has an overwhelmingly dynamite body to begin with, and has captivated many male fans, but there are also many other attractive female characters, and even the mob characters have a strong following, making this a work that boasts enduring popularity.
Pay attention to the sex appeal
Not only does it feature many female characters who are popular with men, but it's also one of the reasons why this work is so exciting to watch, as they actually show many reactions that will please male fans. This work is very sexy, so male fans can enjoy it in a different way while enjoying the mystery.
Is the original more extreme? ?
The only disappointing thing is that the anime version naturally tends to be less radical, so I don't think it's possible to depict as aggressively as the original work. This work's appeal is also in its extreme depictions that push it to the limits, so if you're a fan who wants to enjoy those depictions, I recommend reading the original work.
How much will it be reproduced?
As such, I think this work will have its own unique appeal, so I would like to pay attention to how much of the original work can be reproduced as an anime work. On the other hand, there is a possibility that they will completely cut out expressions that can only be done in the original and pursue expressions that can only be done in anime, so I am looking forward to not only how much of the original work will be reproduced, but also to how much of the depiction that can only be depicted in anime will be included.
Characters popular with men
As you can see, the characters in this work tend to be popular with men. The readership of this work seems to be mostly male, so I think there are many depictions in the anime version that are conscious of male fans. There are many mob characters that are popular with men that we were not able to introduce this time, so please take a look at them.
Potential to Aim for Dominance
In terms of the variety of female characters, this work has one of the best repertoires among the animation works broadcast this season, and it can be said that it is a very interesting work for male fans. It is a work that has the potential and character to aim for dominance this season, so be sure to watch the anime version in real time.
Looking forward to more information
In any case, there are still many characters whose appearances in the anime have not been revealed, so we can look forward to future information. For now, most of the main characters from the original work seem to be faithfully reproduced in the anime version, but considering that extreme expressions must be avoided in the original work, it would not be surprising if some characters' designs were slightly changed.
Check it out on social media!
Designs other than the main characters of this work will be released in the future, so be sure to check them from time to time through SNS etc. There is also an official X account for this work, so if you are interested in the characters, we recommend following them.
