Characters edit

Memumemu (メムメム)
Voiced by: Karin Takahashi[2]
A demon that has never taken a soul. Optimistic about taking Hyōta's soul, she visits Hyōta's house frequently. She has no talent as a demon because of her clumsiness and so little magic power that she shrinks when she uses it, though she recovers with a drop of energy drink or a small meal. She cries a lot and is servile and timid but takes advantage of any opportunity.
Hyōta Kohinata (小日向 日太, Kohinata Hyōta)
Voiced by: Aoi Yūki[2]
A first-year high school student who lives in an apartment. When Memumemu comes to retrieve his soul, he feels bad for her.
Anzu Itsuki (五木 杏, Itsuki Anzu)
Voiced by: Hitomi Igarashi[2]
Hyōta's classmate and the daughter of his landlord. Hyōta is secretly in love with her.
Landlord (大家, Ōya)
Voiced by: Mai Nakahara[2]
Anzu's mother who has an extremely gentle personality. She is full of demon talents but is unaware of the existence of demons. Memumemu fears her as the "boss".
