GWIncidental

Frankly, I'm not sure why you'd be interested in these guys. They show
up for one or two episodes of the manga each and don't have much
overall impact on the story. This page is basically one big spoiler for
several of the less important side stories, but may be useful to fanfic
writers. (*Hopeful look*)

Aki Yurie and Ririko

Episode: The Tragedy of S / Cameos in
the Devilwood Continuation

Two girls who stalk Mitsuru. Heard it
before, you say? Nope. These girls are
lesbians. Ririko falls in love with Mitsuru
while he's in drag, and starts following
him around secretly. Aki-san shows up to
challenge him for Ririko's affections.
(She's not half bad at fighting, either!) In
the end, Ririko dumps Aki-san, but Aki
gets over it by dating Shun. "He makes me
want to be -- normal," she says as she
hauls him away. . .

Note: "S" stands for many things in
Japanese slang, but in this case, it stands
for "Sister" which means a close female-
female relationship which may extend into
the realm of lesbianism.

Fuse-kun

Episode: Noblesse Oblige / Demon in Here is
Devilwood

An underclassman who is initially sent to spy
on Shinobu, but who is so impressed by
Shinobu's skill and poise that he becomes his
disciple instead! Resembles a mini-Mitsuru.
(Would that make him "Mini-Mi"?)

Ice Princesses: Nakagawa Suzuki and Aida

Episode: The Ice Witches

Twin ice skaters, and daughters of the rink owner.
Attempt to convince Mitsuru and Shinobu to be
their figure skating partners by drugging them.
Succeed in slipping Mitsuru a Mickey in his tea,
but the others rescue him. Suzuki and Aida
eventually become each others' partners.

Marua (A)

Episode: Everyone, It's Due to Love, Right? /
Barmaid in Devilwood

A girl who's had a crush on Hasukawa ever since
middle school. She makes chocolates for him on
Valentine's Day, but gives up after seeing his "cute
girlfriend" (Shun, who is delivering chocolates
from Sumire-chan to Hasukawa). Sadly,
Hasukawa has no recollection of who she is.

Marui (I)

Episode: Poolside Boyfriend / Bandit in the

Devilwood Continuation

The lifeguard at the public pool. Mistakes

Shun for a cute girl. Takes an instant disliking

to Mitsuru, whom he sees as a rival for Shun's

affections. Marui faces a tough choice when he

has to decide between protecting his crush from being "molested" by
Mitsuru or rescuing a drowning child. Luckily, he makes the right
decision.

Megumi

Episode: Holiday

A little girl who has the distinction of being the
only person to successfully wrest food from
Mitsuru's grasp. Often left alone by her Pachinko-
playing mother. Mitsuru and Shinobu rescue
Megumi from a kidnapper. The pic of them all
together on a park bench is adorable. Here she is
devouring Mitsuru's curry bread.

Nightmare

Episode: Nightmare

A dream girl who looks like Shun in a fairy
dress and Mickey Mouse ears. Causes
Tochizawa to seriously doubt his sexual
orientation. For some reason, there's a dream-
eating cat that she's afraid of, but Mitsuru and
Shinobu banish it.

Ootani Yuki

Episode: Look for the Prince!

Nitta Mieko's second manager. Less interested in
Mieko's career than in marrying well. Has her eye
on the Tezuka fortune and hits on Shinobu until she
finds out that he has an older brother, at which point
she starts chasing Akira. Thoroughly stymied by
Rokujou Noriko, though.

Seishin Kyomi

Episode: A Maiden's Dreaming

One of Mitsuru's fangirls, she follows him around
and bursts into tears whenever he does something
she doesn't approve of -- for example, ordering a
beef-bowl. (It's just not elegant and ruins his
image!) Kyomi's even more annoying than Misako,
IMO. She eventually becomes a doujinshi writer.

"My name's Seishin Kyomi. I'm sixteen, a Pisces
with a blood type of O, and my fate star is Fire."

Shinji

Episode: Dangerous Stove League

One of Mitsuru's friends from his middle school
days. They have a baseball rivalry going. Shinji
starts a sandlot team called the Sixteens, and
challenges Mitsuru to a game for old times' sake.

Track Coach

A scary, cadaverous man who went to school with
Kazuhiro and who holds a grudge against him.
Wants to train Hasukawa for the Summer Olympics
and just about runs him into the ground. Goes by the
name Murakami Shirou but may actually be named
Urashima Tarou. Kazuhiro calls him "Shinigami
Hakase" which means "Professor Death God."

Yoshitake

Episode: Go For It, Hasukawa! The Ping-Pong
Challenge!!

Hasukawa's shorter classmate. He challenges
Hasukawa to a grudge match. Little does Kazuya
know that Yoshitake is a ringer. Yoshitake is
marginally worse at cross-dressing than Hasukawa.

Random Ghost Girls: E, Ka, O and U

Episode: The Girls of Summer

Four ghost girls who happen to be haunting one
of the Kisaragi resorts. They look cute on the
outside, but are rather evil. Mitsuru wakes up
to find U kneeling on his chest, but wards her
off with Buddhist chants. Ka tries to kill
Hasukawa, but someone special saves him.
