Magimoji Rurumo is a Japanese fantasy comedy manga series by Wataru Watanabe, later adapted into a television anime and an original animation disc that together tell a bittersweet story about a clumsy witch, a perverted but kind high school boy, and the literal price of magic: human life.

Magimoji Rurumo is set between the human world and a female‑dominated magic realm known as the Demon World, where witches regulate and weaponize human life force as magical energy.

The series combines school comedy, ecchi gags, and emotional drama about sacrifice, memory, and second chances.

The manga ran in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in three consecutive parts.

An anime television series aired in 2014, followed by a two‑episode OAD “Final Chapter” bundled with the ninth volume of the third manga part in 2019.

The core of the story is the bond between the witch Rurumo and high school student Kōta Shibaki, whose lifespan is quietly converted into magic tickets that grant wishes.

Most of the humor comes from Kōta’s overactive libido and Rurumo’s extreme shyness, while the drama comes from the fact that every wish literally kills Kōta a little.

Manga Serialization

Magimoji Rurumo began as a one‑shot in the July 2007 issue supplemental booklet “Owarai Chibius” of Monthly Shonen Sirius.

This short was reprinted in the October 2007 main issue, and full serialization started with the November 2007 issue.

The manga is written and illustrated by Wataru Watanabe, who is also known for Yowamushi Pedal.

All three parts are published by Kodansha under the Sirius KC imprint.

The first part, simply titled Magimoji Rurumo, ran until the February 2011 issue of Monthly Shonen Sirius.

It was collected in 7 tankobon volumes.

The second part, Magimoji Rurumo: Demon World Arc, was serialized from the April 2011 issue to the March 2013 issue.

This arc focuses mainly on the politics, laws, and conspiracies of the Demon World and spans 4 volumes.

The third part, Magimoji Rurumo: After‑school Magic Junior High Students, started in the August 2013 issue and concluded in the August 2019 issue.

This sequel shifts the spotlight to three dropout witches on a test mission to Earth, with Rurumo as their supervisor, and consists of 9 volumes.

Part 1: Magimoji Rurumo

Kōta Shibaki is a high school boy infamous among all girls for being a hopeless pervert, despite being otherwise friendly and surprisingly considerate.

He belongs to the school’s occult club “Mysterious Discovery Club” mainly because it’s a low‑pressure place where he and his idiot friends stash their porn.

One day he discovers a mysterious magic grimoire and accidentally summons Rurumo, a quiet witch from the Demon World.

The spell should have granted him a wish at the price of his life, but because Rurumo breaks a rule to help him, the contract is nullified and she is sentenced to 130 years in prison.

Kōta instinctively saves Rurumo from execution, even though it would have freed him completely.

Rurumo returns to the Demon World, and Kōta’s life seems to go back to normal.

Half a year later, Rurumo appears again in the human world.

Because the earlier contract was not properly fulfilled, she has been stripped of her witch status and demoted to a trainee witch assigned to Earth.

Rurumo’s own magic is sealed, and she can now only cast spells through a bundle of magic tickets.

Each ticket lets her perform one spell when torn in conjunction with Kōta’s wish.

Rurumo is told that her task is to make Kōta use up all the tickets within a 500‑day deadline in order to regain full witch status.

However, she has not been told the crucial detail: each ticket is literally a fragment of Kōta’s remaining lifespan.

Rurumo’s familiar, the talkative black cat Chiro, explains the truth to Kōta alone.

From that point, every time Kōta wants to use a ticket—for pervy fantasies, for helping friends, or to save lives—he knows he is trading away his own time.

Rurumo, deeply shy and almost expressionless, goes to live in Kōta’s house for the duration of her training.

She works in the school cafeteria, botches every part‑time job, slowly makes friends, and repeatedly tells herself “I am getting carried away” whenever she enjoys Earth life too much.

Kōta internally struggles between his desires, his growing affection for Rurumo, and his fear of death.

He still uses the tickets to help people, to fix disasters largely of his own making, and occasionally just to indulge stupid fantasies, so the stack steadily shrinks.

Eventually, Kōta burns through the very last ticket.

The contract completes, Rurumo’s training is considered successful, and Kōta’s life comes to an end.

Part 2: Demon World Arc

After the tickets are exhausted, Kōta dies and his soul should enter the Demon World’s system as a soul crystal.

Rurumo is reinstated as a full witch but only then learns the truth about the tickets and the cost Kōta paid.

Crushed by guilt, she realizes she never properly thanked him.

In despair, she erases herself from the memories of everyone in the human world and returns to the Demon World, nominally “free” but emotionally shattered.

The Demon World’s core infrastructure revolves around the Wall of Soul Crystals, a massive storehouse where the souls of dead contractors are processed into raw magic energy.

Rurumo joins forces with her old friend, powerful first‑class witch Harulily Walura (often called Harulily), and Harulily’s subordinate witches to infiltrate this forbidden zone.

Rurumo’s goal is simple and impossible: steal Kōta’s soul crystal and at least see him one more time.

However, when they break in, they discover that Kōta’s soul crystal is missing.

Back on normal duty, Rurumo returns to harassment and bullying by other witches, much like in her school days.

The constant emotional pressure makes her seriously consider quitting being a witch altogether.

One day in the Demon World city, Rurumo unexpectedly meets Kōta again.

He is alive—and moving around in a temporary artificial body.

It turns out that Harulily’s familiar Mimi, a research‑minded cat with a talent for golems, secretly pulled Kōta’s soul crystal before it could be processed and placed it into a humanoid golem body modeled on a Demon World girl.

Kōta has been given a “second life,” but he now inhabits a fragile artificial form that was never meant to last long.

Rurumo and Kōta reunite, and Kōta finally recognizes how much she means to him.

Their reunion is short‑lived: the Demon World Management Bureau arrests Rurumo and frames her for mass theft of soul crystals, an ultimate crime.

Rurumo is sentenced to death.

Kōta, Harulily, and Harulily’s subordinate witches launch a reckless assault on the Management Bureau to break Rurumo out, struggling under anti‑magic defenses and overwhelming forces.

They manage to escape back toward the human world, but Kōta’s original artificial body crumbles during the ordeal.

His soul is transferred into a spare golem body in the shape of a young girl, originally modeled after a girl named Lusica.

Trapped in the body of a girl, Kōta returns with Rurumo and Harulily to the high school on Earth, where a distortion between the worlds has formed.

Their new plan is to use this distortion to travel back to the Demon World and demand a retrial directly in front of Maou, the ruler of the Demon World.

In his girl body, Kōta disguises himself as a female student and infiltrates the school alongside Rurumo and Harulily.

During this school arc, Rurumo finally manages to put her feelings into words, openly thanking Kōta for everything he has done.

Kōta in turn confesses his own feelings toward Rurumo, making their relationship emotionally clear even in the middle of a magical manhunt.

Meanwhile, the Demon World’s security forces—led by second‑class witch Jiro Mio Kudor, commander of enforcement unit 408—close in.

Rurumo and Kōta race through the distortion and reach Maou at last, hoping that the sovereign will override the Management Bureau’s injustice.

However, an attempted coup led by Jiro erupts, and Maou appears to be killed as Jiro declares herself the new ruler.

The truth is that Maou survives thanks to immense magical power and reveals that she created much of the Demon World’s current system, including the Magic Gate and the rules around soul crystals.

With overwhelming magic, Maou crushes the coup, rewrites the battlefield, and brings the conflict to an end.

As a reward and out of gratitude for the way Kōta once saved her life, Maou grants Kōta a wish through the high‑level resurrection magic Return (Haltera).

Kōta’s soul is restored to his original human body, and he is allowed to return alive to Earth.

The downside is that this also severs his direct link to the Demon World.

Rurumo must stay behind, turning their reunion into yet another painful goodbye.

Part 3: After‑school Magic Junior High Students

About a year after the Demon World coup incident, the story’s focus shifts to three hopelessly underperforming witches: Lusica Felt, Suraga Kyuari, and Momohime Ma‑Rees PJ.

They are all thirteenth‑class witches—the lowest rank—standing on the edge of losing their witch status because of repeated mission failures.

The Demon World is piloting a new magic infrastructure designed by Maou and Harulily together, meant to replace the old system that burns human life.

This new system is called Curscript (Majimoji), a form of magic using written words instead of consuming lifespans.

To test Curscript, the three girls are sent to Earth for a 300‑day mission.

Their task is to gather powerful “word spells” into special books called Books of Words by living as ordinary junior high school students and interacting with humans.

Rurumo, now promoted to a second‑class witch and appointed as a “Special District Inspector” in the Demon World Management Bureau, is assigned to supervise them.

On Earth she pretends to be a chemistry teacher under the alias Rurumo Majimamoji (Rurumo Majima Moji), overseeing the girls in school and quietly protecting them.

Earth Identities and Personalities

Lusica Felt becomes “Rusika Fueto,” a transfer student at Minaminohara Municipal Junior High, and is the “center” of the trio.

She loves fashion and daily life on Earth so much that she constantly ignores her mission in favor of shopping, trying on clothes, and soaking up teenage experiences.

Despite being a dropout witch, Lusica proves competent at both studies and athletics, quickly becoming popular.

Her Book of Words has a vivid scarlet cover, symbolizing her flashy, emotional nature.

Suraga Kyuari becomes “Suruga Miyazato,” an overly serious ex‑soldier type.

In the past she was a sixth‑class witch and a platoon commander in enforcement unit 408, but she was demoted for failures during the Demon World coup crisis.

Suraga carries a magic sword named Slobak and constantly thinks in combat terms, even in gym class or at lunch.

Her stiffness and intensity make it hard for her to make friends, which in turn slows her collection of meaningful words for her Book of Words, which has an off‑white, natural‑colored cover.

Housework is her weakness, and her room becomes a disaster zone without help.

Her familiar, a kitten named Clearne, is basically her housekeeper and cook back in the Demon World.

Momohime Ma‑Rees PJ becomes “Momohime Marizawa,” a gloomy, sharp‑tongued girl who claims to hate “idiots” more than anything.

She is small, with long black hair and a star‑shaped ornament she always wears on her back.

Momohime is secretly kind and very sensitive, but she hides it behind disdain and distance.

Her Book of Words has a deep indigo cover, fitting her introspective, melancholic personality.

Momohime is also the granddaughter of Ma‑Rees La‑Lilis, a former first‑class witch who once chose to stay on Earth for love and became the grandmother of a human girl named Isuzu Morino.

This family tie will pull Momohime directly into a personal time‑travel story.

Curscript and the Book of Words

The new Curscript system uses written characters to focus magical power instead of directly converting life force.

To cast Curscript magic, a witch inscribes a circle and a chosen Chinese character and chants: “Come forth, magic. Stir, Curscript.”

Spells draw on the power of word spirits, called “cursed letters” when they carry strong human emotion.

Words spoken without real feeling vanish quickly and are called “leaf words”; they can become weak magic, but only deeply felt words truly imprint into a Book of Words.

Each Book of Words is a magical artifact intended to be stored in the Wall of Leaves of Souls once complete.

Lusica, Suraga, and Momohime must gather enough powerful emotional words from their Earth experiences to stabilize the new system.

Practically, that means making friends, getting involved in drama, listening to confessions, and sometimes causing trouble.

The mission is basically “earnestly live as a middle schooler, but also take magical notes.”

Time Travel Accident: Two Years in the Past

During an experiment supervised by Rurumo, the trio attempts a practical Curscript test.

The trial goes horribly wrong: they shrink down to palm‑sized versions of themselves and are hurled two years into the past.

Stuck in micro‑bodies, they end up living under the floor of Kōta’s family home.

They are discovered by Chiro from that time period, who agrees to help them survive and find a way back.

The three realize that sometime during the time jump they lost their Books of Words.

Without those books, their whole mission—and Curscript itself—is at risk.

Because they are so tiny, searching for the missing books is exhausting and dangerous.

They navigate under floors, between walls, and through the clutter of everyday human life, growing increasingly desperate.

Momohime and Her Grandmother

Being in the past gives Momohime a chance she should never have had.

Her grandmother Ma‑Rees La‑Lilis, who in Momohime’s original timeline had already died without anyone in the family being present, is still alive in this era.

Momohime decides to use the opportunity to at least honor her grandmother properly.

Borrowing a transformation permit from Chiro, she temporarily grows to full size to move around as a normal girl.

Under this disguise, she becomes close to her cousin Isuzu Morino, another granddaughter of Ma‑Rees.

Together they share stories, regrets, and eventually meet the living Ma‑Rees, who is aware of her approaching death two years in the future.

Momohime desperately works in her tiny body to complete an elixir to extend her grandmother’s life.

She finishes the potion, but Ma‑Rees dies just before she can administer it.

Devastated, Momohime mourns with Isuzu, sharing memories and grief.

The experience gives both girls emotional closure and leaves powerful, sorrow‑tinged words for the Book of Words to eventually absorb.

Harulily and the Book Hunt

While the tiny witches flail around under the floorboards, rumors begin to spread of strange magical phenomena in town.

These disturbances attract the attention of Harulily Walura, who visits Kōta’s house to check on Rurumo’s territory.

The trio tries to secretly use Harulily’s power to locate their lost Books of Words.

They fail to remain hidden, and Harulily quickly catches them in the act.

Once they confess, Harulily agrees to help directly.

Thanks to her first‑class magic, she locates and recovers two of the Books very quickly.

The last missing book, Lusica’s, is more troublesome.

It has been found and picked up by an elementary school girl named Momoka Seikawa, who starts using its powers unknowingly.

Momoka playfully—and recklessly—activates spontaneous magic, causing chaotic events around her.

To make matters worse, the Book now holds the consciousness of JJ, Lusica’s familiar.

JJ and the Book

JJ is a striped cat familiar who normally keeps Lusica in line, scolding her for ignoring missions.

After the time jump, JJ’s body and mind are separated by the magical shock.

JJ’s memory‑less soul drifts into Lusica’s Book of Words and merges with it.

Momoka, unaware of what the Book really is, names this voice “Benny” and treats it as a mysterious magical friend.

Through the Book, JJ can now trigger magic such as Lightning (Almani) and other spells, amplifying Momoka’s mischief into real danger.

The trio and Rurumo must now deal not only with a super‑powered grade‑schooler but also with their own familiar acting as the Book’s will.

Hearing of the strange book, the earlier‑timeline versions of Rurumo and Kōta investigate as well.

They confront Momoka and attempt to seize the Book, but her uncontrolled magic makes her surprisingly hard to subdue.

Rurumo’s trainees follow after them, aiming to reclaim Lusica’s Book of Words and rescue JJ’s soul from its unintended prison.

Their success or failure will determine whether the Curscript experiment survives—and whether they keep their status as witches at all.

Main Characters

Rurumo

Rurumo (full name Magi‑Mojilka Rurumo) is the main heroine and a witch from the Demon World.

She looks like a typical middle‑school‑aged girl but is actually 315 years old.

Rurumo is extremely shy and embarrasses easily, which shows as a blank expression and very few spoken words.

She is calm and methodical when using magic, but hopelessly clumsy at physical tasks and is terrible at riding a broom.

In the human world Rurumo works in Kōta’s school cafeteria, where her lack of coordination leads to disaster after disaster.

Despite her quiet demeanor, she gradually begins to enjoy life on Earth and often chastises herself by thinking “I am getting carried away.”

Originally a thirteenth‑class witch, she is actually very talented in pure magic power.

Her lack of ambition and poor social standing are the main reasons for her low rank, not lack of strength.

She deeply appreciates Kōta for saving her life multiple times and for silently sacrificing himself with the magic tickets.

Across the series, this gratitude slowly becomes romantic affection, though she struggles to express it directly.

By the third part she has been promoted to second‑class witch, working as a special inspector overseeing Earth witches and Curscript missions.

On Earth she uses the alias Rurumo Majimamoji and teaches chemistry at the junior high school where Lusica and the others attend.

Kōta Shibaki

Kōta is the male protagonist, a human high school student at West High School.

He is widely known among the female student body as an incurable pervert, earning nicknames like “Shiba,” “Shibaraku,” and “Pervert Shibaki.”

He is honest about his lust, openly obsessed with girls in general, and treasures his not‑so‑secret erotic collection.

At the same time, he is friendly, loyal to his friends, and instinctively protective toward girls, making him a strange blend of sleaze and chivalry.

Kōta belongs to the Mysterious Discovery Club (FHK), a tiny occult circle more interested in weird experiences and stash‑hiding than real research.

Ironically, he himself is not particularly into the supernatural and only gets dragged into magical events by accident.

He has a fear of heights and tends to panic in literally over‑his‑head situations, especially when magic puts him mid‑air.

In Part 1, his life is bound to the magic ticket bundle, and he eventually dies when the last ticket is used.

In Part 2, his soul is stored by Mimi and inserted into a humanoid golem body, giving him a second life as a Demon World resident.

After that body collapses, he moves into the spare body modeled on Lusica, which has the form of a young girl.

This period forces Kōta to live as a girl, sneaking into school under a fake identity and viewing his pervy past from an awkward new angle.

At the climax of the Demon World arc, Maou uses Return to revive him in his original human body, sending him back to Earth alive.

Throughout the story, Kōta gradually shifts from only chasing girls in general to specifically caring for Rurumo’s happiness.

His actions show increasing willingness to sacrifice his own life and comfort to protect her and his friends.

Chiro

Chiro is Rurumo’s familiar, a black cat who speaks in a brash, comedic tone.

She understands human language perfectly and serves as Rurumo’s interpreter in both literal and emotional ways.

Chiro knows the true nature of the magic tickets—that they are fragments of Kōta’s lifespan.

She tells Kōta the truth early on but hides it from Rurumo, believing this is the best way to complete Rurumo’s training and restore her status.

Using a transformation permit, Chiro can temporarily turn into a tan‑skinned girl with cat ears and a tail.

Her transformed body is agile and athletic, reflecting her feline attributes.

Chiro comes from an uncertain lineage and deeply values the fact that Rurumo chose her as a familiar anyway.

Out of loyalty, she sometimes manipulates situations to push Kōta into using more tickets, even while feeling guilty about it.

Shibaki’s Mother

Shibaki’s mother appears like a normal, gentle housewife at first glance.

However, whenever Kōta brings home a cat or does something with an erotic implication, her eyes go dead and her face becomes disturbingly blank.

She is fond of drama series that involve copious amounts of gore.

Her morbid media tastes contrast amusingly with her everyday motherly behavior.

Seitarō Shibaki

Seitarō is Kōta’s younger brother, an elementary school student.

Unlike Kōta, he is serious, well‑behaved, and popular with girls.

He often serves as a contrast to Kōta’s chaotic energy.

His normalcy highlights how strange Kōta’s life has become.

School and Club Members

Tanako Kujirai

Tanako is a first‑year student and a new member of the Mysterious Discovery Club.

She is smart, beautiful, and voted the cutest girl among new first‑year students.

She has a crush on the club president, known as Senpai, and often tries to get his attention.

At one point she even poses as a magical girl to compete against Rurumo, whom she sees as a rival for Senpai’s interest.

Tanako is generally cheerful and optimistic, but she can be sharp and perceptive when she wants something.

Over time she becomes another chaotic element in the club’s already strange activities.

Senpai

Senpai is the nameless president of the Mysterious Discovery Club.

He is obsessed with UFOs, occult phenomena, and anything mysterious, to the point of total indifference toward ordinary girls.

Despite being an extreme eccentric, he has intense charisma when pursuing the unknown.

He often drags Kōta into dangerous or absurd situations in search of mysteries.

Senpai calls Kōta “Shibaraku” and clearly wants Kōta to succeed him as the next club president.

When things get serious, he proves surprisingly reliable and resourceful.

Mameo Fukusuke

Mameo is a member of the occult club and one of Kōta’s friends.

He is chubby and constantly eating steamed buns, treating them as his emotional fuel.

He participates in many of the club’s supernatural misadventures, usually adding comic relief.

His love of food often distracts him from the actual crisis at hand.

Hiro Tokoda

Hiro Tokoda is another member of the Mysterious Discovery Club.

He is less distinctive than Fukusuke but is part of the core friend group that shares Kōta’s troubles.

Hiroshi Nishino

Hiroshi Nishino is one of Kōta’s classmates and a close friend.

He often borrows Kōta’s erotic stash, making him an “adult magazine comrade.”

He joins Kōta in reacting to weird events at school and acts as a typical teenage boy foil.

His perspective helps ground some of the series’ more surreal happenings.

Hajime Suguwara

Hajime Suguwara is another male classmate.

He is also part of Kōta’s circle of lewd reading buddies.

Together with Nishino and Sakurai, he forms Kōta’s “boys will be boys” trio.

They share jokes, failures, and occasional moments of courage.

Tomoha Sakurai

Tomoha Sakurai is a good‑looking male classmate whose cute face makes him popular with girls.

He is also in Kōta’s porn‑sharing circle, undercutting his pretty‑boy image with very normal teenage boy behavior.

He is often caught between his popularity with girls and his equally strong interest in erotic material.

This duality makes him both comedic and relatable.

Disciplinary and Side Characters

Sumiko Inoue

Sumiko Inoue is Kōta’s childhood friend and a member of the school disciplinary committee.

She constantly targets Kōta as a menace to public morals, especially his hidden erotic collection.

She frequently attempts to confiscate and destroy Kōta’s stash, only to be narrowly thwarted.

Despite her harshness, she shows signs of actually caring about Kōta and worrying about him.

Masako Shimomura

Masako Shimomura is a fellow disciplinary committee member and initially appears as a quiet, serious girl.

Secretly, she is an anime fan who loves cosplay.

Her shared interest in costumes becomes a bridge of friendship with Rurumo.

The two eventually grow close enough to call each other by their first names.

Kyōko Izumi

Kyōko Izumi is another disciplinary committee member, known for her impressive physical strength.

She has long bangs that typically cover her eyes.

She is childhood friends with Sakurai and secretly has feelings for him.

In the anime, her left eye is briefly shown in one episode, hinting at more beneath the bangs.

Maaya Sawashita

Maaya Sawashita is a second‑year student at Kōta’s school and is famous for having the largest bust on campus.

She takes guitar lessons and dreams of performing.

Because of her bra size, which matches an F cup, some students jokingly call her “Sawa‑F.”

She treasures a bra her sister bought before leaving for work in England.

Early in the story she has several interactions with Kōta.

Later on she appears less frequently, but remains a memorable character.

Isuzu Morino

Isuzu Morino is a first‑year student who can see the colors and shapes of people’s auras.

This ability makes her seem odd to others.

She is the granddaughter of retired witch Ma‑Rees La‑Lilis.

Through Momohime’s time travel, she gets the chance to reconnect with her grandmother and process her grief.

Ms. Iida

Ms. Iida is a policewoman and former detective who occasionally appears in town.

Her given name is Ruri.

She possesses an enormous bust, even larger than Maaya’s.

She is highly suspicious that Rurumo might be a real witch and begins investigating her.

Ms. Iida also has a violent streak, once hitting Kōta with a shovel for getting too close.

Her behavior often crosses the line for a cop, but that just adds to the comedy.

Inoko Sakamaru (Choco Sakamaru)

Choco is an elementary school girl who is in love with Seitarō Shibaki.

She engages in somewhat stalker‑like behaviors to get close to him.

Her intensity is played for laughs, showing how even kids in this series are somewhat extreme.

She occasionally crosses paths with Kōta’s misadventures.

Eri Kominato

Eri is Seitarō’s university student tutor.

She is beautiful, gentle, and has a large chest, embodying an older‑sister archetype.

Her presence fuels Kōta’s jealousy and fantasies.

At the same time, she genuinely supports Seitarō’s education.

Witches, Familiars, and Demon World Figures

Harulily Walura

Harulily Walura is a first‑class witch and one of Rurumo’s closest friends from witch school.

She comes from a poor background and was bullied until Rurumo reached out to her.

She is ambitious, powerful, and loves drama.

Harulily often meddles in Rurumo’s life, sending magical items to Earth or pushing Kōta into risky situations to prod their relationship.

As a top‑tier witch, she enjoys privileges such as special tickets and extended vacations.

She also works closely with Maou on high‑level magical projects, including the design of the Curscript system.

Mimi

Mimi is Harulily’s familiar, a purebred cat who hates water.

Like Chiro, she can use a transformation permit to become a big‑eyed human girl.

Mimi is a research genius among familiars and has created technologies such as artificial humanoid bodies and various golems.

She secretly steals Kōta’s soul crystal and gives him a golem body, effectively saving his soul from being processed.

After spending time with Kōta, Mimi grows fond of him and begins actively flirting.

Her proactive affection contrasts with Rurumo’s shyness, creating a subtle love triangle.

Ma‑Rees La‑Lilis

Ma‑Rees La‑Lilis is a former first‑class witch and grandmother of both Momohime and Isuzu.

She once fell in love with a human and chose to remain on Earth against Demon World rules.

Because of this choice, she became mortal, aging and eventually dying as a human.

Despite her youthful appearance, she is actually 818 years old at the time of her final days.

In the time‑travel arc, Momohime and Isuzu get to meet her in the past, allowing for emotional resolution.

Her story embodies the theme of choosing love and humanity over power and immortality.

Tama

Tama is a cat Chiro meets when she is accidentally teleported to Kyushu.

Tama undergoes training on Cat Mountain to protect her owner.

Through this training she becomes a “monster cat,” gaining supernatural powers.

Tama’s story shows how familiars and normal animals can cross into the supernatural.

Mimirumia

Mimirumia is a first‑class witch who manages soul crystals.

She is a cheerful, busty woman with glasses and a strong passion for the soul crystals she oversees.

She treats soul crystals almost like collectibles, but she is serious about her duties.

Her easygoing nature contrasts with the grim implications of her work.

Shiruria

Shiruria, full name Shiruria Saarand Arufor, is another first‑class witch who works with soul crystals.

She is serious, rigid, and prefers to be addressed properly rather than by nicknames like “Shi‑chan.”

Her by‑the‑book attitude balances Mimirumia’s casual personality.

Together they represent the official face of soul processing in the Demon World.

Runba Mercury

Runba Mercury is a high‑ranking witch serving under Harulily.

She is a military fanatic with a soldier’s attitude and speech pattern.

She is extremely serious about discipline and tactics.

Her obsession with military hardware and order often clashes humorously with the more chaotic witches around her.

Micchi Luberant

Micchi Luberant is another upper‑class witch working for Harulily.

She is athletic, energetic, and loves physical challenges.

Micchi often takes point in frontline operations.

Her dynamic personality adds momentum to Harulily’s group.

Achako

Achako is the third high‑level witch in Harulily’s trio of subordinates.

She has a strange way of speaking and claims to be the team’s “sex appeal” representative.

Unfortunately for her, she is flat‑chested, which undercuts her self‑assigned role.

This contrast becomes a running gag.

Jiro Mio Kudor

Jiro Mio Kudor is a second‑class witch and commander of enforcement unit 408, the Demon World’s security strike force.

She wears a mask with teardrop markings and harbors deep resentment against the Demon World’s system.

Jiro initiates the coup against Maou, aiming to become the new ruler and reshape the world.

Her revolution is fueled by the injustices she has witnessed and committed.

Moeruda Affa and Hilcoa Yuriri

Moeruda Affa is a seventh‑class witch who has bullied Rurumo since their school days.

She often works together with another seventh‑class witch, Hilcoa Yuriri, to torment lower‑ranked witches.

They represent the petty cruelty within Demon World society.

Their behavior shows how even magical elites still indulge in ordinary schoolyard bullying.

Maou

Maou is the ruler of the Demon World and the architect of its magical systems.

She appears as a cute young girl but is actually 5011 years old and possesses immense power.

Maou created key structures like the Magic Gate and the current rules that restrict magic to prevent mass human slaughter.

Her reforms turned raw life‑stealing into a more regulated, bureaucratic horror.

In the OAD, Maou becomes absorbed in playing with a balloon and nearly gets run over by a truck in the human world.

Rurumo saves her with magic, causing Kōta to die in her place.

Later, Maou reappears before Rurumo, grateful for Kōta’s self‑sacrifice.

She uses the ultimate magic Return (Haltera) to restore Kōta’s life, spending vast amounts of magical energy.

After‑school Arc Characters

Lusica Felt

Lusica is a thirteenth‑class witch and one of the three central heroines in the third part.

She is fashionable, energetic, and far more interested in Earth life than in her assigned missions.

Her Earth identity is Rusika Fueto, a junior high school girl who quickly becomes a social butterfly.

She excels in academics and sports, making her genuinely capable when she cares enough to try.

Historically she has failed many missions, putting her on the brink of being stripped of her witch title.

The Curscript project is essentially her last chance.

Unknown to her, the spare golem body used by Kōta in Part 2 is modeled on her.

In the future, as a university student, she meets Kōta and develops a quiet crush on him.

JJ (Jay Jay)

JJ is Lusica’s cat familiar.

He is highly intelligent and serves as Lusica’s advisor and nagging conscience.

On Earth he uses a transformation permit and works at a cake shop under the name Jel Jessica Jeremii, quickly becoming the store’s star employee thanks to his looks and dexterity.

He constantly worries about Lusica’s irresponsibility and tries to keep the mission on track.

After the time jump, JJ’s mind and body are split by magical shock.

His memory‑less soul ends up inside Lusica’s Book of Words, acting as the “voice” Momoka calls “Benny.”

This bond allows the Book to actively cast spells, including powerful electric attacks.

Recovering JJ’s soul from the Book becomes a key part of the third arc’s conflict.

Suraga Kyuari

Suraga Kyuari is a former sixth‑class witch and ex‑platoon commander of enforcement unit 408 who has been demoted to thirteenth class.

She is disciplined, severe, and obsessed with combat to the point of social dysfunction.

On Earth she becomes Suruga Miyazato, a junior high student who still wants to carry her magic sword everywhere.

Her rigid mind‑set makes her terrible at casual conversation and everyday fun, so she struggles to befriend classmates.

Her Book of Words has a pale, unbleached cover, reflecting her austere personality.

Her familiar Clearne, a kitten, stays in the Demon World but briefly visits Earth using a transformation permit to help with cooking and housework.

Momohime Ma‑Rees PJ

Momohime is a small, gloomy thirteenth‑class witch with a star ornament permanently on her back.

She loudly insults idiots, which unfortunately includes most people around her.

On Earth she becomes Momohime Marizawa, a reclusive student who avoids classmates.

Underneath her grumpy exterior, she is deeply caring and easily hurt.

She is the granddaughter of former witch Ma‑Rees La‑Lilis.

Her arc in the past, trying and failing to save her grandmother’s life, becomes one of the emotional high points of the third part.

Yūko Tabe

Yūko Tabe is the quiet, bespectacled class representative of Lusica’s class 2‑2.

She loves books and is bad at sports.

She grows close to Lusica over time and ends up helping with the Curscript experiment.

Her genuine, thoughtful words are ideal material for the Book of Words.

Awako Kobayashida

Awako Kobayashida works as a senior employee at the cake shop where JJ works in human form.

She has low self‑confidence about her looks and lack of finesse.

When JJ appears and effortlessly excels at everything, Awako becomes jealous and starts bullying her.

Her insecurity highlights the pressures of adult life compared to the witches’ magical chaos.

Clearne

Clearne is Suraga’s kitten familiar.

Her main role is to handle domestic chores for Suraga, who is hopeless at them.

Clearne is an excellent cook and cleaner and cares deeply about Suraga’s well‑being.

She visits Earth for three days using a transformation permit, pretending to be a child learning to cook while helping the trio live.

Momoka Seikawa

Momoka Seikawa is a fourth‑grade elementary school girl.

She finds Lusica’s lost Book of Words and begins triggering spells without understanding the consequences.

Her innocent wishes become dangerous magic through the Book.

Her case becomes a test of whether the new Curscript system can be controlled safely.

Magic

Magic in Magimoji Rurumo is the ability to manipulate energy and cause supernatural phenomena, mainly through witches.

Spells are cast by chanting a formula such as “Magic activation. Open, Magic Gate. [Spell Name]” and using a wand to channel energy.

In the classic system, the source of magic is human life and soul crystals.

Every spell consumes some of a human’s life or soul, which historically led to massacres when Demon World beings exploited humans.

To curb this, Maou created regulated systems like the Magic Gate to restrict and meter magical power.

There is a daily limit on how much magic one witch can use, and planning spell combinations becomes a tactical concern.

Magic can be packaged into items like transformation permits or bottles of stored magic, allowing even familiars to cast spells.

However, even powerful magic cannot normally resurrect the dead; Return is an exceptional spell that only Maou can use at enormous cost.

There is a strict rule that magic must not be used for vengeful purposes.

If cast while consumed by hatred, magic can backfire and corrupt the caster, leading to a phenomenon called Erosion.

Witches

Witches are supernatural beings from the Demon World who wield magic.

They live long lives but are bound by many rules.

There are thirteen main ranks, from first‑class down to thirteenth‑class.

Rank depends on factors like magical ability, physical capability, judgment, and mission success.

First‑class witches have multiple upper‑class witches serving under them.

There also exists a special honorary rank, zero‑class, but it has been vacant for 500 years.

Witches’ usual duties include collecting soul crystals from Earth, maintaining order in the Demon World, administration, library work, and exploring uncharted territories.

They also contract with cat familiars to assist in both combat and daily tasks.

When casting spells, witches switch to formal attire—a hat, cloak, wand, and other accessories—using a quick spell.

Abandoning duty and living permanently on Earth is considered a major crime.

If a witch stays on Earth too long, her body begins following human lifespan rules.

When such a witch finally dies, magic cannot save her from mortality.

Magic Tickets

Magic tickets are the bundle of red tickets given to Kōta in Part 1.

Each ticket, when torn by Kōta with a strong wish, lets Rurumo cast a spell.

The standard way to use them is to physically tear a ticket, after which it burns away.

If Kōta’s emotion is strong enough, the magic can trigger even without tearing.

There are 666 tickets in total, and Rurumo’s training requires Kōta to use them all within 500 days.

Big wishes that affect many people or the world can consume multiple tickets at once.

The terrible secret is that these tickets are not just symbolic.

They are literally fragments of Kōta’s lifespan, and using them gradually kills him.

Rurumo is kept in the dark about this.

Chiro reveals it only to Kōta, forcing him into a constant choice between his desires and his remaining time.

Demon World

The Demon World is a separate dimension from Earth, accessible only through regulated portals called Magic Gates.

It is a city surrounded by high walls where tens of thousands of people live.

Society is divided between magical elites called witches and ordinary citizens called commoners (Tamin).

The city is populated entirely by women.

Travel between Earth and the Demon World is heavily restricted to prevent abuse.

The Magic Gate to Earth is usually hidden in remote or high places, out of human reach.

The Demon World is ruled by Maou and administered by the Demon World Management Bureau.

Its buildings resemble European architecture, and its technology is more advanced than Earth’s.

Ironically, Demon World architects were the ones who originally taught humans advanced building techniques.

However, they acknowledge that Earth has superior combs and fashion, leading many Demon World residents to idolize Earth style.

The Demon World night sky has only a single moon, with stars that do not twinkle.

Stars fall all at once at designated times like magical meteor showers, and the air feels heavier and more humid than Earth’s.

Important facilities include the palace‑like main Management Bureau building called Royal Shrine Palace, the underground Wall of Soul Crystals, and, on the city’s western edge, the Magic Gate itself.

Royal Shrine Palace is cloaked in visibility‑blocking magic, making its upper levels normally invisible.

Transformation Permits

Transformation permits are small folded papers marked with the character for “permit.”

They are issued by the Demon World Management Bureau.

When a familiar, usually a cat, activates a permit with the phrase “Permit release,” they temporarily gain a human form.

These transformations have a fixed time limit, after which the familiar reverts to its original state.

Even miniaturized beings can use a transformation permit to become human‑sized, though the time limit still applies.

Permits are carefully controlled, making them valuable tools for Earth missions.

Soul Crystals

Soul crystals are the crystallized souls of humans who died under contracts with witches.

They are stored in the Wall of Soul Crystals deep beneath Royal Shrine Palace.

A gigantic construct called Bradkurbaroni guards and transports soul crystals.

The crystals are gradually converted into pure energy in a process called extraction, then absorbed through the “Eye of Soul Crystals” and sent to the Magic Gate as fuel.

This effectively turns human souls into raw magic for witches.

It is both the power source of the Demon World and the moral problem that Curscript attempts to solve.

Bradkurbaroni

Bradkurbaroni is a colossal golem that serves as a jailer and carrier of soul crystals.

It has a cage‑like mouth and a clock embedded in its chest.

As a warden of sentences, Bradkurbaroni appears on Earth to announce deadlines for contracts or training, including Rurumo’s.

Combat versions exist that can fire powerful energy beams and function even in anti‑magic zones.

Although intimidating, Bradkurbaroni is more a tool than a villain.

Its presence usually signals the enforcement of cosmic deadlines or punishments.

Absolute Bracelet Trustos

The Absolute Bracelet Trustos is a magical restraint used to imprison criminals in the Demon World.

It consists of multiple interlocking magic circles forming a rigid bracelet, commonly used like handcuffs.

The only way to unlock Trustos is with a special Unlock Key of Circles (Listos).

Other methods are ineffective, making Trustos a symbol of inescapable lawful punishment.

Desire Face

Desire Face is a bizarre epidemic mostly found in the Demon World, though humans can very rarely become infected.

As the disease progresses, a human‑faced growth appears on the victim’s abdomen, resembling a talking belt buckle.

The face can mimic voices, talk on its own, and flick a long tongue to cause trouble.

If left untreated, it can be fatal.

There exists a special medicine nicknamed Sprinkle, which can cure early stages.

Fully developed Desire Faces, however, require surgical removal.

Night‑Roaming Worm (Nairubra)

Night‑Roaming Worm is a dangerous creature from the Demon World that parasitically infests buildings.

It feeds on living energy and grows as it consumes more.

At first, it can only move at night, hence the name.

Once it becomes large enough, it can warp space to create a Night Space (Dort) where it is always “night” and it can act freely.

Within Night Space, only beings with Demon World blood can move.

Humans and normal animals become practically frozen, making Night‑Roaming Worm a serious threat that demands witch intervention.

Soul‑Crystal‑Inserted Humanoid

Soul‑crystal‑inserted humanoids are artificial bodies (golems) engineered to act like real humans.

By placing a soul crystal into the abdominal cavity, the golem animates and gains a personality.

The model must be based on a real existing person, by Demon World law.

These bodies have sensation and pain but are structurally different from human bodies—for example, limbs can detach and reattach, and they often have unnatural strength.

Kōta spends part of the story inhabiting such bodies.

This technology demonstrates both the advanced magical engineering of the Demon World and its ethical gray areas.

Curscript (Majimoji)

Curscript is the experimental new magic system introduced in Part 3.

Its goal is to move away from sacrificing life for magic and instead harness the power of words and emotions.

To use Curscript, a witch draws a magic circle and writes a Chinese character representing a concept, then chants an incantation calling for Curscript to stir.

The system consumes stored “cursed letters” from a Book of Words, matching the character’s meaning to the spell effect.

Because it is still in the testing phase, the system is unstable and prone to mishaps, like the time‑travel accident.

The success of Lusica, Suraga, and Momohime’s mission will determine whether Curscript replaces the old life‑burning system.

Book of Words

A Book of Words is a magical book used to store emotionally charged words that become cursed letters.

When a person speaks from the heart, their words can imprint onto the book and persist as magical fuel.

Words lacking real emotion become leaf words—fleeting phrases that vanish quickly.

These can still be turned into weak magical energy but are nowhere near as effective.

Collecting high‑quality cursed letters is the core objective of the junior witch trio’s Earth mission.

Once completed, a Book of Words is intended to be placed in the Wall of Leaves of Souls, a counterpart to the Wall of Soul Crystals.

The books are color‑coded by owner: scarlet for Lusica, off‑white for Suraga, and indigo for Momohime.

Losing a Book of Words is a catastrophic failure, as seen in the time‑travel arc.

Magical Beasts

Magical Beasts are what witches call beings whose minds have been completely consumed by magic.

The process usually starts when a witch uses magic in a state of intense hatred or instability.

As corruption spreads, a dark shadow appears and their body turns black in a phenomenon called Dark Veil (Kyufsat).

They lose their personality and self‑preservation instincts, sometimes continuing to cast spells even after losing limbs.

Once the Demon World Management Bureau classifies someone as a Magical Beast, they are slated for elimination.

Nearby witches or trainees are tasked with killing them to protect others.

Demon World’s Eye

The Demon World’s Eye is a large tapestry or banner depicting a single all‑seeing eye.

It is magically linked to the Demon World Management Bureau.

Through this eye, the Bureau can observe events and pass verdicts, for example declaring someone a Magical Beast.

It symbolizes the intrusive, ever‑watchful nature of Demon World law.
