She can make sharp, funny comments in her thoughts but is careful about hurting others.
Akira can be a bit self-sacrificing, willing to take on pain herself rather than trouble someone else.
She feels sadness and even anger when met with prejudice or insults, but always tries to understand the other person through conversation.
Her vocabulary is rich, and she often describes her feelings about the magical world around her in great detail.
She is easily moved by beautiful or cute things—especially cats.
She did not own a cat in her original world but often helped a neighbor take care of many stray cats.
She considers almost everything and everyone through a “cat lens.”
Akira also loves beautiful people, easily getting distracted by handsome wizards like Heathcliff, Owen, or Mithra.
She keeps a Sage’s Book, recording profiles and stories about the wizards and the world.
She is skilled at cooking, recreating meals from her world using local ingredients and making cakes or dishes for the wizards’ birthdays.
Despite her skills, she sometimes struggles with basic tasks like cutting vegetables or burns her food, suggesting she learned to cook after arriving in the magical world.
Akira’s upbringing is mostly unknown.
Clues suggest she was living in Tokyo before coming to the magical world.
Her age is never given, but since she can’t drink alcohol and worries about casino age restrictions, she is probably around 20 years old.
She is deeply fond of cats and enjoys cute things in general.
Between the original world and this magical world, it seems Akira has a gentle, caring nature that connects her to others easily.
Akira is a Sage, the person summoned from another world to lead the "Sage’s Wizards" and battle the Great Calamity.
She has unique power: she can sometimes heal the strange wounds that haunt wizards who survived the last Calamity.
For example, she can allow Oz to use magic at night and lets Mithra sleep, but this doesn’t always work or affect other wizards’ wounds.
When a Sage’s Wizard is lost, Akira can drink from the Goblet of Judgment to choose new wizards for the team.
Wizards chosen by the moon bear the Lily Crest and cannot run from this role.
Akira carries the Sage’s Book everywhere, using it to chronicle everything about the wizards and the world.
The Previous Sage
Akira’s predecessor was another Japanese person, a chatty and clever young man with black hair.
He used to work in a harsh company.
He shared many bits of twisted knowledge and culture with the wizards.
He disappeared suddenly during the last Great Calamity; no one remembers his name or face.
Cat Grandmother
A neighbor from Akira’s original world who had many cats.
Akira often helped take care of her cats.
She once said, “On a windy, full moon night, something mysterious may happen.”
Murr Hart
The first wizard Akira meets upon arriving in the magical world.
Murr Hart is someone whose soul was shattered after getting too close to the Great Calamity.
He calls Akira “dear Sage” and hopes deeply to be her friend, hinting that she is special and that he has waited a long time to meet her.
He invites Akira to find out the truth about the world.
Friends from the Original World
One friend named Fwillrin is briefly mentioned.
Details are limited, but they knew Akira from Tokyo.
How Akira Arrives in the Magical World
One windy, bright, and moonlit night, Akira takes an elevator while on her way to visit a friend’s house.
Suddenly, she is summoned to another world where wizards live alongside humans.
This world faces a disaster called the “Great Calamity,” which attacks once a year.
Akira is chosen as the next “Sage” and must help a group of unique wizards work together to save the world.
Life as the Sage
Akira moves into the Magic House, where she lives with the “Sage’s Wizards.”
She guides and supports them, helping them trust each other and grow stronger together.
The wizards call her “Sage,” “Sage-sama,” or “Sage-san.”
Though she doesn’t know what happened to previous Sages, she tries her best to understand the world and those around her.
Most wizards do not remember the names or faces of Sages from the past.
Where former Sages went after disappearing is also a mystery.
The Sages’ Role and Magic
Akira’s special power sometimes heals the “strange wounds” some wizards have from surviving the last Calamity.
She helps Oz and Mithra regain abilities they lost.
She records her experiences and the wizards’ stories in her Sage’s Book.
When the team needs a new wizard, Akira drinks from the Goblet of Judgment, and new wizards are chosen to join the group, marked with the Lily Crest and unable to avoid their fate.
The True Mystery
Hints suggest Akira’s own cat-loving, self-sacrificing side may have deeper meaning, especially with her meetings with Murr Hart.
Dreams and mysterious characters tie her to more secrets about the world and the Sages’ past.
Many questions remain about the fate of former Sages.
“Everyone who has been called an outsider gave me a place to belong.”
“Not with great magical power…”
“Like when someone picks up something you dropped. Or when someone looks back and smiles at you after passing by.”
“With just these small acts of caring and connection, they gave me my place.”
“That’s why I really wanted to help make a place where everyone can breathe easy.”
