The light novel-based anime "Henjin no Salad Bowl", which will be broadcast from spring 2024, is based on a new light novel written by the author of "Haganai" and "I Only Need a Little Sister". Its characteristics are its chaotic characters and chaotic ensemble drama that seem to do anything as long as it's interesting! As the title suggests, the characters are all weirdos, but there are really no good ones! That's also its greatest charm, so we've put together a list of the characters that are full of such charm!
Character No. 1: Kaburaya Sousuke
The protagonist of this work. A poor detective living in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, 29 years old, single, and without a partner. Although he has a dull appearance, he is an excellent detective and achieved many results at the detective agency where he previously worked. However, he decided to go independent because the agency was a corrupt detective agency that accepted requests that were on the verge of being illegal. After accidentally meeting Sarah, who came from another world, he doesn't want to get involved, but he can't just leave her alone, so he protects her and becomes involved with her as his detective partner and his real daughter on the family register.
Character No. 2 Sarah da Odin
The princess of the Offim Empire, which boasts a history of 400 years. However, after a rebellion, the imperial capital falls and he finds himself on the run, so as a last resort he jumps into a gate to another world and lands in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture. He happens to meet Kaburaya Sosuke and is taken in by him at his office, where he quickly adapts to modern culture such as anime, manga, electronic devices and the internet, and even becomes adept at using internet memes. He is a resident of a fantasy world and can use various types of magic. Despite only being 13 years old, he is extremely intelligent and talented. Through various underhanded tactics, he obtains a family register and becomes Sosuke's real father and son on the family register, deepening their bond as if they were real father and son, and he also plays an active role as a detective's partner.
Character 3: Livia de Udis
A loyal female knight who serves Sarah da Odin. After cutting down the pursuers who were chasing Sarah, she follows Sarah and lands in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, but because she is ignorant of modern Japanese common sense, she becomes homeless. She lives a fulfilling homeless life thanks to her natural physical ability and drive, as well as the kind homeless seniors, but after she accidentally reunites with Sarah, various things happen and she has to find a place to live and a job on her own. Due to his lack of common sense as a person from another world, he throws himself into various modern social chaos such as sex cabarets, cult religious groups, scalpers, saunas, and public gambling. He follows a different path from Sosuke and Sara, and develops a story like the protagonist of a young adult magazine or a side quest in Yakuza.
Character No. 4: Suzuki
A senior homeless man who gives various advice to Livia, who has become homeless. He is a blunt but kind person who cares about Livia, but in fact, he is a former popular light novel writer whose real name is Suzuki Akira, who disappeared after various things happened and he got tired of the world. After meeting Livia, she returned to society and released her new work "Homeless Female Knight" based on Livia, and later wrote the lyrics for the songs of the girl band that Livia and her friends formed.
Character 5: Yumisaki Asumi
A girl who worked under the alias of Puriketsu at the sex cabaret club where Livia was tricked into working. Even after the sex cabaret club was raided, she was involved with Livia in various ways. In fact, she is a runaway and was active in the girl band "Setsuko Sore Drop Yanai" while working various part-time jobs, but the members of the band tell her to disband, and after a series of events, she ends up forming a girl band with a former female knight's gigolo and the head of a cult religion. She has a cute ass, but not a cute ass.
Character No. 6: Brenda Aizaki
A talented lawyer with an office in a room in a luxury apartment. Although she looks like a child, she is actually older than the 29-year-old Sosuke. He is a skilled but corrupt lawyer who will do anything to win, and he also has a dark side, not questioning the legitimacy of information obtained on the borderline of illegality. Although he is on friendly terms with Sosuke's detective agency, he is a total loser when it comes to romance, even though he clearly likes Sosuke himself. Therefore, he is very soft on Sosuke. There is a character similar to the previous work.
Character No. 9: Tateyama
A clerk employed at Brenda Aizaki's law firm. She is a loyal office worker to Brenda and generally keeps a step back, but sometimes she can't stand to see Brenda being too shy when it comes to love, so she corners her and gives her encouraging advice. Her love interest is castles, with Gifu Castle being her ex-boyfriend and her current lover being Gujo Hachiman Castle.
Character No. 10: Nei Haruka
A female staff member working at Kusanagi Detective Agency, where Kaburaya Sosuke used to work. She is the Kusanagi Detective Agency's strongest breakup agent, playing the role of a beautiful woman who may be interested in her. Her success rate is very high, and she is highly valued by the corrupt lawyer, Brenda Aizaki, who will use any means necessary. Sosuke thinks she is acting like that all the time, but in reality, she clearly has feelings for Sosuke.
Character No. 11: Minakami Nozomi
A girl who was born as the guru of the religious corporation "Kinka no Eda", which has many followers mainly in Gifu Prefecture, and serves as the representative of the cult religious organization "World's Branch Hill Clan". Her real name is Kinoshita Nozomi. He is skilled at attracting followers to young people who are suffering from the harshness of modern society, and he energetically raises funds to one day replace his parents, but his values change when he sees the miracle (magic) that Livia performs, and he becomes fascinated with Livia as his savior.
