Description

The player takes the role of Itsukaichi Keiji, a teenager that lives by himself in the town of Tokieda, with his closest living relative being his granduncle, an author and researcher of the paranormal. Our protagonist has the peculiar ability to recognize supernatural beings with ease as well as the ability to see ghosts and other entities not visible to normal humans. Due to a complicated set of circumstances, Keiji has a strong hatred for ghosts and phantoms (also known as youkai), blaming them for the problems in his life.

Keiji's life has taken a bit of a downturn since the death of his parents, and is generally seen as a loner that makes little effort to interact with others. His life suddenly changes direction when a kage-onna by the name of Mikage appears in his house one day, claiming that she is bound to him and that she will be keeping him company.

Mikage's appearance is only the beginning, as our protagonist crosses paths with eight heroines in total as he discovers love, learns why things are the way they are and grows to accept his reality.

Description

A girl that randomly appears behind our protagonist and glomps or tackles him. Keiji claims to not know her, but she seems to suggest otherwise.

Given her cheerfulness and playful demeanor, Chizumi is very gullible and will listen to Keiji's orders and follow them to the dot.

Description

Isora is a kappa that lives in the Motoki River, north of Tokieda's residential area. As a child, Keiji spent a lot of time playing with Isora and developed a sort of friendship with the kappa. With ten years having passed since her days of playing in the river with Keiji, Isora is looking to pick up where they left off. To her surprise, Keiji being older means his interests are elsewhere now.

As the osananajimi character, she has had a thing for Keiji since he was a child, and can be notably jealous when she sees our protagonist around other girls.

Description

Mikage is introduced at the beginning of the story, waking our protagonist up in the morning and informing that she is bound to him and his house. This, in effect, means that no matter how much Keiji would want her to leave, she would not be able to do so for as long as our protagonist lived. She seems to be focused on ensuring that Keiji is happy, and at times has to act as the keeper of order in the house. Mikage is for the most part docile and willing to go along with Keiji, though there are certain moments where she has to put her foot down or take action against anything that might cause harm to the protagonist.

RoleMiko, Student Club President
Voiced byAgumi Oto

Description

Honami is a girl that attends Tokieda Academy and is president of the Society for the Study of Youkai / Local History Research Club. The former is the real intention of her club (as she has a thing for the occult), while the latter is the official name of the club for purposes of having it registered at school. She eventually manages to convince Keiji to join, and is specially drawn to our protagonist's ability to see and interact with youkai.

As part of her hobby, Honami is also a layman miko, and often tests her abilities against the numerous youkai that Keiji knows. She also seems to be overly enthusiastic about charms and trinkets with special powers. By her own admission, while she can easily get along with others, she has few real friends because of her interest in the occult.

RoleYoukai
Voiced byKimura Ayaka

Description

Sachiko is introduced when Keiji and Mikage discover that the noises coming from the attic of the Itsukaichi home are actually her sneaking around. After a quick introduction, Sachiko reveals that she has been living in Keiji's house for the last six months, and claims to have been summoned by our protagonist's bitterness and pessimism.

Despite being a yakubyougami (god of pestilence), Sachiko's power seems to be tied directly to the way our protagonist feels. This means that while our protagonist being content and happy weakens her, she becomes stronger when Keiji is angry or feeling any negative emotions.

Sachiko is cheeky and quick-witted, but prefers to stay in the background to point and laugh at our protagonist and Mikage.

RoleYoukai
Voiced byFukai Haruka

Description

Seori is a hashihime (bridge princess) that has been around for a very long time. She claims to have lost track of how long exactly, which leads to her to say "somewhere between 2000 and 3000 years" when talking about her age. Keiji at first refers to her as a homeless person, seeing that she lives in a tent under the bridge that is her haunt.

Often seen as the older sister of the group, Seori's primary focus seems to be her distaste for affection and love between couples. Despite her purpose as a hashihime, she's actually good-humored and has a tendency to be playful. Her interest in Keiji stems from the fact that he is a human that can see her and talk to her on a normal level. The fact that she is lonely and bored is also something that helps her sympathize with Keiji.

Description

Sakuya is introduced to our protagonist as a girl that is looking after the Shirasawa convenience store in the residential area. She eventually reveals herself to be a hakutaku, and proves to be powerful enough to make herself corporeal (unlike other youkai, who can only be seen by Keiji). As a hakutaku, Sakuya has the ability to make predictions and is quite knowledgeable overall.

Description

Our protagonist first meets Touka while using the hot springs that are adjacent to the seemingly-abandoned Fujiyu Shrine. Touka has actually been a resident of the shrine for several centuries, but has made little to no effort to venture beyond the shrine itself. Her servant (a youkai rabbit named Suzuhikohime) secretly thinks of Touka as a hikikomori due to her never leaving the shrine.

RoleZashiki-Warashi
Voiced bySamoto Fuuri

Description

Midori is a house ghost that has lived in the Itsukaichi household for as long as Keiji can remember. She was Keiji's best friend and always used to play with him around the house.

Being a zashikiwarashi. Midori has a somewhat childish mentality and acts on impulse instead of thinking things through. As such, an argument between her and Keiji breaks out when Midori (out of jealousy) releases a stag beetle that Keiji had captured, feeling that what he was doing got in the way of playing games with her. The argument ends with Keiji telling her that he'd be fine with her leaving, and she decides to do so.

With almost ten years having passed since that day, Midori decides to give herself a second chance with Keiji. Aware that he might not forgive her for leaving the house (she particularly blames herself for the death of Keiji's parents), she decides to remake herself into something else. The result are two youkai. A kage-onna named Mikage, and a yakubyougami named Sachiko. Another way to put it is that Midori became Mikage, and what was left over turned into Sachiko.
