About Mamiya
Tokyo, during the year in which the world was prophesied to end.
As we clung to reality, too spineless to throw our lives away together, we met MAMIYA.
At a friend’s funeral, the entire crowd was weeping and mourning, while we thought to ourselves that the death of a single person had no meaningful impact on the world at large.
We slept, woke up, and went through the same daily grind as ever. At least, that’s how it was supposed to be.
Then MAMIYA appeared…
Before we even knew it, the mysterious child named MAMIYA had wormed their way into our daily lives. They slowly, but surely, became something of an emotional support. They’d brought us down a new path.
A path that would surely lead us to our deaths…
Characters of Mamiya
Chapter 1 – Fall Down
Natsume (CV. Fukuyama Jun)
An affectionate youth who cares deeply for his friends. In life, he was called “Natsume Souichirou.”
If it meant saving those he held dear, he’d become brave to the point of recklessness, and unforgiving toward those trying to hurt them—particularly Mamiya.
He is also a huge fan of Mina the maid, letting his somewhat nerdy side show.
Kikuchi Ryou (CV. Inozuki Shuji)
A solitary high schooler rumored to be involved in multiple violent incidents. The only one who understands him is his childhood friend, Toujou Minato.
Because of his often-absent mother, he has to do part-time jobs to support his 9-year-old sister.
While not very good at making friends or conversation, he has a very sincere heart.
Toujou Minato (CV. Amemiya Ryo)
A cheerful, sociable boy who is the star of his class.
While he can get along with anyone, the only friend he is really close to is Kikuchi Ryou.
Despite what his beautiful appearance would have you think, he is a judo black belt and a big eater.
Morichika Haruki (CV. Miyashita Eiji)
An attractive deadbeat who jumps from woman to woman, maintaining no stable job or residence.
Though a rather intense character who can be abrasive even with younger people, he also has a sensitive side.
He yearns for company, yet loves solitude, making him a somewhat conflicted personality.
Suou Keito (VA. Kimura Hayato)
A member of the lacrosse club, overflowing with affection, a sense of justice, and an arrogance he himself is hardly aware of.
Chapter 2 – Down Fall
Mamiya (CV. Kaiji Yuki)
An enigmatic, non-existant man who commands the entities known as “MAMIYA” and calls people to another world.
He’s a being of fantasy, yet his goal is to gain flesh in this world and “exist.”
He shows concern for his old friends from the pink house, while finding “Me” detestable, pitiful, but also enviable.
Arisugawa (VA. Tsuruta Ryohei)
A brazen children’s literature writer and an ambitious person who is somewhat like the leader of the people in the pink house.
Touma (VA. Morita Noriaki)
A diligent, but somewhat airheaded high school music student.
He looks after his sickly younger brother while working hard to fulfill his dream as a musician.
Ni’igaki (VA. Nihashi Nao)
A girl so beautiful she turns every head.
She works as an amateur model, but she is very wary of other people and hardly ever opens up to them.
Samejima (VA. Shinoda Kazuma)
An officer working for Keito Suou’s father, he has been looking out for Suou since the boy was little.
He always wears an eerie smile that he himself thinks is perfectly normal.
