characters :

Bad Luck

* Shuichi Shindou (新堂愁一 Shindō Shūichi) - seiyuu : Tomokazu Seki , Kinya Kotani (Songs)-


Shuichi's ambition at the start of the series is to follow in the footsteps of his idol, Ryuichi Sakuma, the lead singer of the band Nittle Grasper, by creating his own successful music band named Bad Luck.

One day when, as he is walking through a park reading his lyrics of the song "Glaring Dream", a sudden breeze blows them away, where they are picked up by a mysterious man who dismisses them as "elementary-level", saying that Shuichi has zero talent and should just give up. Stung by the man's criticism, Shuichi becomes determined to make him apologize. Shortly after his friend Hiroshi Nakano helps him realise that he is attracted to the man in the park, Shuichi sees an interview on television that shows that the person in the park is, in fact, the famous romance novelist Eiri Yuki.


* Hiroshi Nakano (中野浩司 Nakano Hiroshi) - seiyuu : Matsumoto Yasunori -


A big brother character to Shuichi, Hiroshi "Hiro" Nakano is his best friend and the other original member of Bad Luck. Quiet and far more wise than the impetuous Shuichi, Hiroshi tries to serve as the voice of reason for Shuichi as he falls head over heels for Eiri. Hiroshi himself is not immune to love. He eventually finds himself smitten with Eiri Yuki's supposed fianceé from Kyoto; but it doesn't go far because Ayaka still loves Eiri.

* Suguru Fujisaki (藤崎順 Fujisaki Suguru)- seiyuu : Fujiko Takimoto -


Suguru is hired as Bad Luck's keyboard player. Though he usually fakes being polite to others, young Suguru is quite similar to his cousin, Tohma Seguchi, despite his unfortunate proclivity for being controlled by others. While only sixteen years old, he has incredible talent - and knows it. Suguru knows Eiri Yuki's past as well, but it seems that Yuki also knows a bit about Suguru himself: he has commented before about Suguru "hiding his real identity".


Nittle Grasper

* Ryuichi Sakuma (佐久間竜一 Sakuma Ryūichi)- seiyuu : Yamaguchi Kappei -


Lead singer of the popular band Nittle Grasper along with Tohma Seguchi and Noriko Ukai, and friend of Shuichi. He left the band three years ago to pursue a solo career in America but returned to Japan to reform Nittle Grasper. Shuichi is excited at the news of Nittle Grasper's reunion, but that now makes Ryuichi his rival. Ryuichi is kind and sometimes seems to have the mind of a five-year-old, until he starts singing; then he becomes a really cool, mature, vocal god. Other characters have noticed that Ryuichi and Shuichi are quite similar in their child-like manner. His best friend is a pink bunny named Kumagoro (Mr. Bear in the English version), which is from K-san, his old manager. It contains a tracking device, and is from the K brand stuffed animal line. Not much is known about his past.

* Tohma Seguchi (瀬口冬馬 Seguchi Tōma) - seiyuu : Ai Orikasa -


Keyboard player in Nittle Grasper and Mika Seguchi's husband. He is the head of N-G recording company and demands the best from all his contractual bands. Tohma is very protective of Eiri Yuki, and blames himself for the trauma Eiri suffered as a teenager, seeing that he was the one who hired Yuki Kitazawa in the first place. He is unfailably polite to the point where he will refer to anybody (including his wife) as -san, and appears to be a friendly and even-tempered person (if also a ruthless businessman). As the series goes on, it becomes evident that much of this is a carefully constructed mask: when Eiri is involved, Tohma has been known to be far from rational and soft-spoken.

* Noriko Ukai (鵜飼典子 Ukai Noriko) - seiyuu : Ikezawa Haruna -


Noriko used to be the keyboard player for Nittle Grasper, but joins Bad Luck for a bit on Tohma's request. Once Nittle Grapser gets back together, though, she leaves for good. Noriko is rude, loud, and talented. She won't take junk from any of her band members, and demands the best out of them. Often she acts like an older sister to Ryuichi.



N-G Production Staff

* Claude K Winchester "K" (ケイ Kei) - seiyuu : Okiayu Ryoutaro -


Ryuichi's former manager and now the manager for Bad Luck, K is aggressive in promoting the band--he even carries around a big gun and hand grenades. His concern is first and foremost Bad Luck, but in his shaping of the band's career, he ends up involving himself in Eiri and Shuichi's relationship. He is American, and in the original Japanese version, they played on the stereotype that Americans always have guns and will pull them out any time, any place. K often speaks English mixed in with his Japanese. K's real name is Claude K. Winchester. Also in the manga it is shown that K has a family; he has a wife named Judy Winchester, and a son named Michael Winchester.
* Sakano

Uesugi Family

* Eiri Yuki a.k.a Eiri Uesugi

Eiri Uesugi, who also goes by his pen name, Eiri Yuki, is a popular romance novelist who met Shuichi Shindou in the park and mercilessly dismissed his song lyrics. Through coincidence, they kept bumping into each other, and eventually came together romantically. In the series (manga and anime), Eiri and Shuichi struggle with their celebrity status and their mercurial relationship.

* Mika Seguchi (瀬口 美華 Seguchi Mika)
Eiri's older sister and Tohma's wife. She's beautiful, yet cold. She looks quite a bit like Eiri except with longer hair and makeup. In book one, she wanted to make Eiri see his dying father, bribing Shuichi with her own husband (Tohma). Later in the manga series we find out she and Tohma are going to have a child

* Tatsuha Uesugi (上杉樹把 Uesugi Tatsuha)
Tatsuha is Eiri's brother, who has the same voice (though not the same seiyū) and characteristics as his older brother, but with black hair and eyes. Tatsuha is obsessed with Ryūichi and watches his Nittle Grasper video repetitively. He's quite the perverted and obsessive fan, not to mention a 16-year-old monk.

In the manga, all of the townspeople including her friends had their memory of Hime being a youkai sealed because when she was a child, she asked Yae to seal the memory so she can have a better perspective from a human's point of view and a youkai's point of view. In chapter thirteen however, everyone memory of her being a youkai have returned when a group who is running against Hime's little cousin, Kohime, was running as mayor in another town, wanted her to drop out of the election and Hime to give her position to their leader by threating them with a barrier that weakens all the youkai to a point that can be life threatening and because of that Yae had no choice but to weaken the barrier that they made which in turn return everyone's memory. However in the anime, it did not show this and everyone knew that Hime is a dragon descendant and that she is a youkai.

The series is being made into an anime.

The sky suddenly becomes dark and mass suicides begin occurring worldwide. The dark-being, Aukuro, is the result of many souls of a civilization who were granted immortality but without a body wanted to die. When Aukuro found Earth, they separated and entered human hosts and tempting them to commit suicide. Those who resisted were granted powers relating to their own unconscious desires. When Hirose discovered his powers, he kidnapped Megumi and headed north to the heart of Aukuro. Taisuke, obtaining his own powers, follows in an attempt take Hirose and Megumi back home.

Characters :
Taisuke Kanou
Taisuke Kanou (叶 太輔, Kanō Taisuke?) is the main character of the series and depicted as a loyal and bold person. He harbors guilt from his paerents' death. A juice box which Taisuke had dropped as a young child, had jammed the brakes of the car and inadvertently caused the car accident that killed his parents. After the death of his parents, he was raised by his older sister Yoko Kanou. He is one of the few people who gain a special ability after being infected with Akur. He sets out to find his missing friends, Hirose and Megumi, when they disappear. He meets up with Yuta and Nami, two other people with abilities. At the end of part 1 of the manga, it's revealed that Taisuke's ability is actually the ability "to regenerate and exterminate", however Taisuke's ability to create fire remains unexplained. In the second arc, Taisuke, saved by the Tezuka Family, has lost his memory of his fight with Yuichi Hirose. He vaguely remembers Nami and Yuta yet regains his memory soon after his sister arrives. With Taisuke's memory returned, Yukie Tesuka asks him to retrieve the "Heart of Akura" before returning home. The "Heart of Akura" seems to be in some sort of military research facility with soldiers guarding the place. Taisuke proceeds into the base with Ray Tezuka and Nami but are intercepted by D4. The team, wounded by rubber bullets from the D4, is captured. Taisuke melts his handcuffs and escapes. D4 tries to shoot him again with rubber bullets but they are melted by a special ability. They proceed to find the "Heart of Akura". The rock (s fusion of Hirose and the "Heart of Akura") reacts with Taisuke. As he approaches the rock, it uses Hirose's ability and creates holes injuring and killing some of the soldiers. He is stopped by Aoi Tezuka when she warns him that all ability users will die after touching the "Heart of Akura". The plan fails but everyone successfully escapes. Taisuke goes to stay at Nami's house as he doesn't want to return home until he has dealt with Hirose. He is determined to kill Hirose, stating that he isn't the same as before. Taisuke receives a message from Michele - a paper with a flower that he once gave Megumi before his fight with Hirose. Taisuke is satisfied with her being safe, not knowing that she is in the hands of Shigeki Katsumata.

Yuta Takizawa
Yuta is a young boy who gains his powers after his mother commits suicide in front of him. Taisuke meets Yuta when Yuta tried to force Ryou to stay with him as she had an uncanny resemblance to his deceased mother. After Taisuke saves Yuta from killing himself, he soon joins up with Taisuke to help him look for his friends. His power is isolation where he can hold an object inside a small space which from the outside, seems invisible. He can cut off all signals and air supply in this small space and kill a living creature by suffocation.

Nami Kusunoki
Nami has the power to freeze water to form any shape she choses. Her younger brother, Satoru, was killed by Kanon after he accidentally bumped into her. He was burned to death before Nami's eyes. She seems to be an expert fighter with a grudge against Yuta and Kanou. Satoru's death has made her hate people with powers. She accompanies Yuta and Kanou to find and kill the woman who killed her brother. She intends to kill them both after she finishes her quest. However, the kindness of Taisuke changes her view of all Comrades. It's also possible that she has some feelings for Taisuke as she names him as her reason for living in the second arc.

Yuichi Hirose
Yuichi Hirose (広瀬 雄一, Hirose Yūichi?) is Taisuke's best friend. He is small and timid for his age and is picked on by bullies. Taisuke and Megumi often help him out with bullies and animals, as seen in the omakes. Although small, he himself is infected with the virus and is given powers. He lives with last living family member, his mother. His mother soon commits suicide due to the virus and he ends up congratulating her on her death due to mind altering by a police inspector. Hirose gains the power to make anything "disappear" by creating holes. He later resents Taisuke and becomes ambitious and cruel. He seeks to destroy everyone in the world and be the only person alive on the planet. During his fight with Taisuke at the end of part 1, he was able to fuse with the "Heart of Akura" making him invulnerable to physical attacks. At the end of chapter 36 he dies after the fight with Taisuke.

Shigeki Katsumata
Inspector Katsumata is the lead investigator of Hirose's incident. At first glance he seems to be a kind person who is widely regarded but he too is one of the few who received powers. He teams up with Yura and starts recruiting other comrades. He rarely uses his powers but has used them once on Hirose to manipulate his thoughts. After his plan to control Hirose fails, he decides to retreat and capture Megumi. In the second arc, he has Megumi take care of "The Ghost" and is looking for ways to retrieve the "Heart of Akura". His powers include the ability to control other's minds and to kill with a blink of an eye.

Akuro
Appears to be the "master" of the group creating the revolution. He seems to be in two pieces, his heart "the heart of Akuro" is in Hokkaido and his "will" is in the body of an owl which is his own "comrade".

Princess Princess

Princess Princess (プリンセス・プリンセス, Purinsesu Purinsesu)



this is one of my new manga....
this one makes me laugh a lot too....
hahahhaaa.....

the story about a boy named Toru Kouno,
he just transferred into a all-boys-dormitory school, Fujimori High School, after he live with his uncle....
and in that school (all-boys) there are princesses.
princesses is a tradition at the school in order to break up the monotony of life surrounded by nothing but males.
students (based on certain qualifications) are selected to be Princesses and are made to dress up as girls and attend school functions like this.

and Toru chosen to be one of them, and there are 2 other princesses,
they are Mikoto Yutaka and Yuujiro Shihoudani.
they are known by Eastern and Western Princesses due to their dorm location.
Toru is convinced into becoming a Princess soon after entering the school though once he accepted the job, he found it to be much more enjoyable than he thought.

Characters :

Princesses
Toru Kouno (河野 亨, Kōno Tōru)

He is the primary protagonist of the story who transfers to an all-boys school and becomes one of the Princesses. He seems enthusiastic about it since all the Princesses get a lot of free stuff and added luxuries. His parents died in an accident, which is when his uncle and aunt adopted him. He seems to be very reluctant about spending time with his family, which mainly has to do with his younger step-sister Sayaka. He mainly uses his job as a Princess as a distraction from the problems he has with his family and in effect usually gets very in to acting like a Princess, much like Yuujiro. He often teams up with Yuujiro to tease Mikoto, much to Mikoto's chagrin.

Yuujiro Shihoudani (四方谷 裕史郎, Shihōdani Yuujirō)

The Western Princess, he is a confident boy and doesn't have many problems with dressing up like a girl in front of other people. He constantly likes to tease Mikoto because he thinks it's fun how Mikoto reacts. He has distanced himself from the rest of his family because he thinks that his mother, step-father, and younger half-brother together are the "perfect family". He and Toru often team up against Mikoto when Mikoto is at odds with them concerning Princess duties. This gets Mikoto to end up agreeing with them, especially since they hold leverage over Mikoto who doesn't want his girlfriend to find out about him being a Princess. He sometimes teases Toru about them being lovers and how Toru is "saying things only lovers would say to each other." To add to this through out the manga and anime there is an air of unresolved tension between the two, and they have been know to blush in each others presence.

Mikoto Yutaka (豊 実琴, Yutaka Mikoto)


The Eastern Princess, he is more reluctant than the other two Princesses to crossdress because he has a girlfriend named Megumi who he doesn't want to find out about it. As such he is nonetheless a reliable character—he often stubbornly whines and complains on things the Princesses have to do but always ends up doing them anyway whether he's forced to do them or not. He is very self-conscious about being a Princess and is mortified whenever someone else outside of school finds out about it. He is the most animated of the three Princesses, always showing a lot of emotion and expression when yelling at Toru and Yuujiro. Mikoto is also tone deaf, having never sung before becoming a princess.

He also cares a lot about the people close to him, though especially for his girlfriend. He has shown to change character and act different when around Megumi, which greatly amuses Toru and Yuujiro. Despite all the whining and complaining, however, he eventually becomes accustomed to his duty as a Princess such that he once had a brief fantasy of him and Megumi both dressed in Gothic Lolita Princess costumes. Princess Princess is not the first media series Mikoto has appeared in. Mikoto's first appearance was as a supporting character from one of Tsuda's earlier manga works, The Day of Revolution, which was about Mikoto's girlfriend, Megumi.


Student council
Shuya Arisada (有定 修也, Arisada Shūya)

The student council president, he is a very confident person who was also a former Princess one year prior to the beginning of the story. He is a very good leader and often comes up with fool-proof plans which benefit him and the rest of the student council. He can also be very intimidating to talk with and in effect people often go along with his plans regardless. He was a Princess in his first year.

Masayuki Koshino (越廼 将行, Koshino Masayuki)

The student council vice president who is very physically strong.

Wataru Harue (春江 渉, Harue Wataru)

The student council treasurer, who is very good with math and can solve equations in his head quickly.

Takahiro Tadasu (糺 孝弘, Tadasu Takahiro)

The student council secretary, who has the impressive ability of speed and sleight of hand.

Other characters
Akira Sakamoto (坂本 秋良, Sakamoto Akira)
The class president in Toru's class (1-D), he is a highly respected member of the school: due to his much-revered older brother and his own excellence in both academic performance and character, he is referred to as "Sakamoto-sama" by his peers regardless of their seniorities, and all students bow when they see him, though he feels somewhat intimidated by such reverence. For pretty much the same reasons, he has been hand-picked by Arisada as the next in line for the student council president and has on quite a number of occasions shown great leadership skills.

He has five immediate family members, all of whom are amazingly beautiful (and, in his sisters' case, androgynous as well). In the past, Akira had often been pointed out as the only "average" looking person in his family by both himself and strangers. For a while, Akira felt out of place or "unworthy" of belonging to his family. When his family found out about his worries, they quickly reassured him and dismissed such ideas. His siblings (especially his older brother and older sister) usually fight for his attention, since their brother is such a kind-hearted and good-natured boy. Akira and his family are the main characters of one of Tsuda's earlier manga works, Family Complex.

Kaoru Natasho (名田 庄薫, Natashō Kaoru)
A third-year student majoring in home economics, he designs all of the clothes that the Princesses wear. He's fairly obsessed about this and always shows a lot of enthusiasm about it. However, he holds a lot of fashion awards for all the costumes he's designed and made himself. When it comes to the Princesses, he's easily struck by inspiration for new costumes.

Harumi Sakamoto (坂本 春海, Sakamoto Harumi)
He's Akira's older brother and a former student at Fujimori who was known by all who knew him as "Sakamoto-sama" because of his amazing beauty. He comes back during the cultural festival to help the student council raise money. Harumi is usually very cool and smiles constantly. However, in the presence of his younger brother, he becomes completely emotional and is easily moved to tears (something which Toru and Yuujiro accidentally notice when visiting Akira, as seen in a manga filler chapter).

Megumi Yoshikawa (吉川 恵, Yoshikawa Megumi)
Known as Megumi-san by Mikoto due to her being older than him, she is Mikoto's girlfriend. She has a caring heart and would do things asked of her by Mikoto so as not to upset him. Also, she is not entirely sure of Mikoto's feelings towards her and once even suspected something was going on between Mikoto and the other two Princesses. Megumi and Mikoto seem to have a very good, understanding relationship between them. For instance, even when Megumi finds out Mikoto is a Princess, she says she doesn't care and Mikoto's the same person she loves either way.

She has a very prominent effect on Mikoto's personality, being able to elevate his spirits when he's feeling depressed. Similarly, when around Mikoto she is very happy and it's obvious that they enjoy each other's company. As noted by Mikoto in episode five of the anime, Megumi does not seem to like using makeup because she thinks it's cuter. Mikoto seems to have no complaints over this as he thinks she's cute regardless. Megumi is the main character of Tsuda's earlier series, The Day of Revolution, with Makoto and Mikoto as supporting characters.

Makoto Yutaka (豊 麻琴, Yutaka Makoto)
She is Mikoto's older sister and has a different personality when compared to her brother. She is very forceful and never seems to back down, especially when the scenario involves Mikoto. Ironically, while Mikoto looks more feminine in appearance, Makoto looks more masculine

Sayaka Kouno (河野 さやか, Kōno Sayaka)
The daughter of Toru's aunt and uncle that adopted him, making her Toru's younger step-sister and cousin. She is in love with Toru and is very adamant (to the point of psychosis) about them getting married one day, against the wishes of Toru himself (as his feelings for her never evolved beyond that for a sister).She is overly obsessive with him and has hurt one of Toru's previous girlfriends with a razor blade out of jealously. Her fragile grip on reality was wounded by Yuujiro's claim that he and Toru are lovers- and that Toru is not interested in girls because of this. In vol.4 of the manga, Sayaka is encountered again by Yuujiro and Toru when they are out shopping, leading to Sayaka apologising, then declairing that in her mind only Yuujiro is worthy of dating Toru and he'd better hurry up and make her "brother" his.

Shinnosuke Shihoudani (四方谷 慎之介, Shihōdani Shin'nosuke)
He is Yuujiro's younger half-brother who appears in episode nine of the anime and vol. 5 of the manga where he had come with his parents to see his brother at the school festival. He tends to be very shy and at first is especially reluctant to talk with Yuujiro. He has claimed that he wants Yuujiro home more often so he can marry "sister" (Yuujiro in his princess costume).

Ryusaki
The director of the board who is in charge of the school. He became the director after his father retired. At first, he disapproved of the Princess system and sought to abolish it. Ryusaki only appears in the anime, and greatly resembles Mitaka in appearance and personality.

Toui C. Mitaka
A transfer student who first appears in volume four of the manga. Upon returning from studies abroad and transferring to Fujimori, Mitaka learns of the student council elections and decides to run against Akira. At first he has a very low opinion of Akira, thinking of him as dull and not a worthy opponent, which causes Yuujiro and Toru to dislike him immensely. He eventually warms up to Akira, and by the end of the manga series he is so devoted to him that he is never more than a few feet away from him. Mitaka does appear in the anime in episode twelve.



this manga was serialized in Wings Manga Magazine. and finished in 5 volumes. Once the first manga series ended, a sequel entitled Princess Princess + started serialization in the May 2006 issue of Wings.

Touru sangat menyukai boneka-boneka tersebut.
pada malam harinya setelah pulang kerja sambilan, secara tidak sengaja Touru bertemu dengan Yuki dan Shigure yang baru saja pergi makan malam. Yuki dan Shigure terkejut mengetahui bahwa Touru tinggal di sebuah tenda. Tuoru diundang ke rumah mereka, dan di sana Touru menjelaskan apa yang sebenarnya terjadi, dan mengapa ia tinggal di tenda kepada Yuki dan Shigure, tiba-tiba saja terdengar suara bergemuruh. ternyata tanah di belakang tempat Touru mendirikan tenda longsor. Touru langsung berusaha menyelamatkan barang-barangnya, termasuk foto ibu yang sangat disayangi. namun karena Touru sedang demam, mak ia tumbang, dan segera dibawa ke dalam rumah. Touru sangat mengkhawatirkan barang-barangnya. maka Yuki pun membantunya mengambil barang-barang nya yang tertimbun tanah.
di rumah, Touru berkata pada Shigure tentang ibunya, betapa ia menyayangi ibunya, dan janji ia akan lulus sma untuk ibunya.
keesokan harinya, Touru terbangun dan melihat foto ibunya. ia segera bangun dan mencari Yuki dan Shigure untuk berterima kasih. karena tenda tempat Touru tinggal tertimbun oleh tanah, Yuki yang baru saja menyerahkan barang-barang Touru menawarkan Touru untuk tinggal di rumahnya untuk sementara, karean di rumahnya ada kamar kosong. saat melihat kamar tersebut, tiba-tiba datang seorang cowok berambut oranye, dan mengajak Yuki berkelahi .dan saat itulah Touru mengetahui rahasia besar keluarga Souma. karena tidak sengaja Touru memeluk Yuki, Shigure, dan cowo yang bertengkar dengan Yuki, dan tiba-tiba mereka semua berubah menjadi Jyunishi, Yuki berubah menjadi tikus, Shigure berubah menjadi anjing, dan cowo berambut oranye berubah menjadi kucing. karena sudah ketahuan, Shigure pun menjelaskan apa yang terjadi. dan meskipun kaget Touru mempercayai ucapan Shigure tersebut.
cowo yang berambut oranye itu adalah Souma Kyo, ia sangat ingin mengalahkan Yuki, namun tidak pernah bisa. dan ia baru saja pulang dari latihannya di gunung. ia memendam rasa benci yang sangat besar pada Yuki, karena menurut legenda kucing tidak menjadi salah satu Jyunishi karena dibohongi oleh Tikus. sejak saat itu Touru dan Kyo tinggal di rumah tersebut atas keputusan kepala keluarga Souma, yaitu Souma Akito. dan Kyo pun bersekolah dan menempati kelas yang sama dengan Yuki dan Touru.
pada hari pertama Kyo masuk sekolah, Kyo sangat menarik perhatian banyak siswa, baik cowo maupun cewe. melihat itu, Yuki sebenarnyua iri, karena ia tak pernah terlalu menarik perhatian seperti itu. namun karena Kyo merasa terganggu ia malah melompat keluar kelas lewat jendela. Touru yang khawatir mencari Kyo, namun Kyo malah mengatai Touru mengganggu. dan Touru pun merasa bahwa dirinya adalah pengganggu. namun karena Kyo merasa bersalah karema mengatai Touru pengganggu, Kyo pun meminta maaf, dan menjeput Touru yang pulang dari kerja sambilan. Touru samakin ingin mengenal Kyo lebih jauh. selain itu Kyo cepat akrab dengan teman sekelasnya, bahkan dengan 2 teman naik Touru, yaitu Uo-chan(Uotani Arisa) dan Hana-chan(Hanajima Saki).
