Characters

Shuichi Kagaya (加賀谷 修一, Kagaya Shuichi)
Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae,[4] Natsumi Fujiwara (young) (Japanese); Ry McKeand[5] (English)
A high school boy with the ability to transform into a dog-like mascot costume, complete with a large pistol on the belt and a zipper up his spine which, when any female human climbs inside his empty body, increases his physical and mental abilities. When transformed, Shuichi gains the physical ability of a human at peak levels of fitness, strength and endurance, and when paired with a partner inside him it becomes superhuman. He retains some abilities in his human form, such as a sense of smell even keener than dogs. His human appearance is average with the exception of a noticeable scar around his neck after fighting with Elena.
Claire Aoki (青木 紅愛, Aoki Kurea)[b]
Voiced by: Nao Tōyama[4] (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski[5] (English)
A high school girl. She attempts suicide when no one believed her. After meeting Shuichi, she gets obsessed with finding Elena and the truth behind the creation of monsters. At first, she abuses Shuichi, but cares about him to the point she swore to kill herself should he die first so they can stay together. Behind her personality, Claire possesses a determination to kill anyone without hesitation or remorse, and close herself off from her emotions to an extent that Shuichi finds terrifying. Claire is physically weak, but when she is inside Shuichi, she controls his body movement, and receives a massive boost to physical capability and superhuman level. She later uses a coin to gain the power to slow down her perception of time increasing her speed and reflexes. It is revealed that Clair and Elena are paternal half-sisters, due to Clair being born from an affair, between her father and one of his mistresses.
Elena Aoki (青木 江麗奈, Aoki Erena)
Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa[4] (Japanese); Morgan Laure[5] (English)
Claire's sister. After receiving the ability to transform into a ghost, she killed her parents, seemingly for the hypocritical manner they acted while the sisters had strict rules. She loves Claire dearly and may be the only person she is unwilling to harm. Emotionally unstable and psychotic even before becoming a monster she has, according to Shuichi after he scented her clothing, committed a staggering number of murders. Elena is revealed to be Shuichi's ex-girlfriend and the one who turned him into a monster. The idea that anyone else might be inside Shuichi makes Elena upset. She removes his head and finds Claire inside him, and he survives due to some unknown ability of his monster form to keep him alive after experiencing injuries.
Alien (宇宙人, Uchūjin)
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai[6] (Japanese); Kyle Igneczi[5] (English)
A member of a highly advanced alien species with the ability to grant a limited wish in exchange for golden coins containing one of his fellow aliens. Should anyone locate all coins he has even offered to grant the person enough power to do almost anything, even destroy a planet should they wish, seemingly regardless for how such a power may be abused.
Nana Mifune (三船 奈々, Mifune Nana)
Voiced by: Miku Itō[6] (Japanese); Xanthe Huynh[5] (English)
Another high school girl. She is cheerful, enough so Shuichi once felt better about himself. It is suggested she has a crush on Shuichi as she was the one to notice how depressed he was while everyone thought he just seemed well.
Abukawa (アブカワ)
Voiced by: Yoshiaki Hasegawa[6] (Japanese); Nicholas Andrew Louie[5] (English)
Shuichi's classmate.
Hikawa (氷川)
Voiced by: Shizuka Ishigami[6] (Japanese); Dawn M. Bennett[5] (English)

Tadanori Sanbe (三部 忠則, Sanbe Tadanori)
Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto[6] (Japanese); Kamran Nikhad[7] (English)
A university student and the first monster siding with Claire and Shuichi. Having found a coin he asked the Alien to make him stronger than anyone else. A martial artist, he created his style to utilize the strength of his body, but finding humans no longer challenged him he has decided to defeat monsters.

His monster ability lets him transform his head into a surveillance camera, which he uses to follow and record a video. Any recording he makes he can upload to computers or wirelessly online.
Subaru (スバル)
Voiced by: Yō Taichi[6] (Japanese); Suzie Yeung[7] (English)
A very powerful Gatherer and Elena's friend. He despises being told what to do and enjoys killing people who try, except for Elena. Subaru summons and controls two large monsters, a male on the left side and a female on the right, calling them his Parents. They are immensely strong and do all by fighting for him, while he is kept safe between their hands.
