Yomi ❦

Yomi is a tall and slim young man of pale skin with short white hair styled in a lengthy fringe with bangs that cover its forehead and red ringed eyes over heavy eyelashes.

During his introduction, Yomi donned a black changshan with grey buttons, rolling up the sleeves for improved mobility. This attire was complemented by black pants kept in a belt with silver buckles and matching shoes. In a pivotal scene where he unveiled himself to Tao and Nei, Yomi appeared after removing the Karmic Stake that functioned as Alma's restraint, an event that led to the unfortunate demise of Kanata. At this juncture, he was attired in a cream-colored unbottomed cloak, which he positioned on his shoulders, resembling a cape and reflecting his distinctive fashion choice. He is able to remove the stake that binds Alma, which supposedly only Tao can remove.

Yomi possesses a consistently composed manner and tends to speak in a calm and collected tone. He maintains his composure, even during an incident when Yoru acted aggressively towards two intoxicated women, resulting in one fatality and the other's transformation into a Maga. This capacity for tranquility is further evident in his interactions with Alma and the manner in which he confidently introduced himself to Tao and Nei.[5] Yomi also remains composed around his family, such as Shizuka when he was about to disrupt their family dinner until Yoru stepped in and restrained him in chapter 7. Even in chapter 26 when Yomi politely ask about how Shizuka's trip to his parents place, Shizuka told Yomi to just "drop dead"

The only time Yomi seemed to lose his composure was in the volume 5 extra with Utsuro where she asked him if she loved Ustu. Yomi for a brief movement seemed confused or even somewhat annoyed at the statement. He then responses kindly with yes, as family, and Utsuro apologizes for asking the question.

As per his account, Yomi has a substantial history with Alma, observing him closely for an extended duration, spanning back to Alma's birth. He also disclosed a prior instance of rejection linked to Alma and expressed an intention to continue his pursuit concerning his objectives involving Alma in the times ahead. Yomi's initial introduction to Alma was notable for its familiarity, as though he possessed a deep understanding of Alma, despite Alma having no memory of Yomi's existence. Remarkably, Yomi possesses the ability to remove the Karmic Stake—a restraint typically associated with Tao's "Kai" chant—that was restricting Alma.

While the exact nature of his connection with Yoru hasn't been definitively verified, it's reasonable to speculate that he assumes a guardian role for Yoru. This inference arises from his gentle demeanor in Yoru's presence and the respect Yoru shows toward him, particularly during Yomi's composed moments. This respect was evident when Yoru shielded Yomi from view as they encountered two inebriated women. Towards the end of their interaction, Yoru inquired if they were family, to which Yomi warmly affirmed, "Of course."[5] Unknown Organization: It's believed that Yomi holds a leadership position within an undisclosed organization, a group that included the late Kanata and Yoru, whom he regards as his family.

Psychokinesis-like Ability: Yomi possesses an ability similar to Psychokinesis, as portrayed by his capacity to influence objects and even humans without direct physical contact. This ability implies that his mental or cognitive faculties are the source of this power, bypassing conventional physical forces. This connection between thought and the external world allows him to manipulate matter through conscious focus, showcasing a unique form of control. Blood Abilities: Yomi can create maga with his blood according to Utsuro in chapter 20 where most maga become ugly gross monsters who barely retain any humanity, with a rare exception being Isato's father who tried to convince Alma to let him live and begged Isato to give him a second chance but failed. On rare cases, maga retain their human form and go to live with Yomi as his family, to which he can sense wherever they are as they share his blood. This was revealed by Chihaya in chapter

BACKGROUND INFO —>

The “Family”: This is a shadowy, villainous organization of outcasts and Half-Magas led by Yomi. They have a found family dynamic of their own and operate by turning corpses into Magas to expand their group.Yomi: The charismatic but dark leader of the group. He has a history with Alma and actively tries to recruit him.

Yoru (formerly Jin Saotome): Tao Saotome's tragic younger brother. Following his death, he was transformed into a Maga and now works as an assassin under Yomi, targeting women. Yoru appearance: Yoru is a handsome young man of average height and build. He has long, shaggy black hair with bangs that conceal a prominent scar on the upper right part of his forehead, extending to his eyebrows. His deep-set eyes and noticeable dark eye bags suggest a lack of sleep. He has two small hoop piercings in his right eyebrow. His right ear features a cross earring on the helix, three hoop earrings on the snug, and a thicker hoop earring on the lobe, with the left ear mirroring this arrangement.

Yoru also wears a black choker with visible patterns, hiding a neck scar from a childhood suicide attempt. His attire includes a contemporary collared changshan jacket over a black shirt and loose black trousers, combining modern and traditional elements. Additionally, he wears rings on his index, ring, and pinky fingers on both hands.

Yoru’s personality: Yoru's personality has a darker, more unsettling side. When Alma first encountered Jin Saotome himself at the entrance of Meito Shrine,[4] Jin initially seemed flustered and anxious. He explained that he had been casually exploring and unintentionally ended up at the shrine, which made him appear suspicious and uncertain. Despite this, Jin showed a sense of honesty and vulnerability, as he was visibly emotional and even shed tears when Alma comforted him.[4]

Although, after that interaction, Jin's demeanor shifted dramatically in different circumstances. Initially, he appeared as a somewhat timid and easily emotional individual who enjoyed sweets despite his age, indicating a softer, almost childlike side to his personality. His interaction with Alma, where he accepted a snack and expressed a liking for sweets, further highlighted this gentler aspect of his character.[4]

When Jin was later approached by Yomi, his behavior took a drastic turn.[5] He demonstrated a cold and ruthless nature, as seen when he used some form of unseen strangulation to harm two inebriated women.[5] His lack of compassion was evident in his actions towards the dark-haired woman, whom he forced to swallow a capsule that transformed her into a distorted creature. This incident revealed Jin’s alternate personality capable of cruelty and manipulation, known as Yoru.[5]

This personality is very unsettling and manipulative , often marked by his creepy and constant smile that makes people uneasy.[6] When Tao meets him at Meito Shrine, he greets her with a smile that reminds her of her dead brother, Jin, and makes mysterious comments about who he is, claiming to be the other Jin that Jin created within himself. Even when Tao questions him aggressively and fires a warning shot, Yoru stays calm and threatening.[6]

Throughout their conversation, Yoru never stops smiling, showing his confidence and enjoyment in emotionally manipulating Tao.[6] He remains calm under pressure and taunts Tao with hints about Jin’s death, revealing his cold and calculating nature.[6] Yoru clearly enjoys causing distress, suggesting that Tao already knows the truth about her brother's death and blaming her for it.[6] His manipulative and cruel behavior is further shown when he tries to strangle Tao while still wearing that unsettling smile. His smooth shift from verbal manipulation to physical violence illustrates his ruthlessness and lack of empathy.[6] He further manipulates Tao by purposely bringing out Jin, resulting in Jin having a mental breakdown.

Jin (Yoru’s other personality): Jin is gentle, caring, and resilient. He faced tough times with quiet strength, always putting his sister Tao's well-being first and staying hopeful despite their hardships.[7] Even as a child, Jin showed his concern for Tao by checking on her and being considerate. Despite their father's abuse, Jin remained supportive and close to Tao, seeking comfort from her.[7]

Jin's sensitivity and emotional depth were clear in how he interacted with his older sister.[7] He would ask about her day and worry about their father's mistreatment. When their mother disappeared, Jin's innocent question about her visiting "God" showed his struggle to understand their harsh reality. Tao's gentle reassurance and promise to protect him highlighted their mutual care and dependence.[7]

As Jin grew older, he stayed emotionally sensitive but became more aware of their difficult situation.[7] He endured his father's abuse without anger or resentment towards Tao, understanding her efforts to protect him. Jin's strength and resilience were evident as he continued to support Tao emotionally, even when she felt guilty for not being able to fully shield him.[7]

Despite everything, Jin kept a sense of hope and optimism. On Tao's birthday, he surprised her with a cupcake, showing his thoughtfulness and desire to bring joy to their lives.[7] He constantly worried about Tao's safety and expressed his concerns about her dangerous work.[7] Jin's longing for a better life and his wish for Tao to quit her risky job showed his deep love and care for her.[7]

Troubleshooting Agency!!: The Gokurakugai Troubleshooter Agency is a dual-purpose operation run by protagonists Tao and Alma. Outwardly, they are jack-of-all-trades problem solvers for hire, taking on cases like finding missing persons or gathering evidence. In secret, they act as specialist assassins tasked with destroying monstrous "Disaster Beasts" (Maga).Key Features of the AgencyThe Mission: They will take on absolutely any case, no matter how dubious, as long as the commission is paid.The Maga Threat: Behind their odd jobs, they are affiliated with the Saragi Anti-Maga Organization to hunt down the vicious creatures that prey on humans.The Location: Disguised as an unassuming former mahjong parlor, the office is covertly situated on the second floor of a building on Gokurakugai's 8th Avenue, directly above the Hourai Restaurant.

Maga!!: Maga (Disaster Beasts) are monstrous entities created from the resurrected corpses of humans and animals. They feed on human blood and flesh, often disguising themselves or using animal carcasses to lure prey. Some retain their past human memories and intelligence.Here is a breakdown of what makes these creatures the primary threat in the series:Origins: Magas are mutated biological corpses. When a human or animal dies and their body is resurrected by dark forces, a Maga is born.Appearance & Abilities: They typically have no faces, instead featuring long tongues and razor-sharp human teeth. They vary drastically in size, number of limbs, and shape-shifting abilities.Intelligence: While many are mindless, man-eating beasts, the most dangerous Magas retain human-like appearances and memories. These human-looking Magas act as the story's main antagonists.Half-Magas: Not all Magas are pure monsters; beings like Alma (one of the main protagonists) are "Half-Magas." Born with Maga abilities, they can use monstrous powers but retain their humanity thanks to suppressive items like the Karmic Stake.

Gokurakugai!!: Gokurakugai (lit. "Paradise District") is the fictional, bustling, and lawless working-class district that serves as the setting of the manga series by Yuto Sano. While visually vibrant, the district hides a dark underworld and suffers from a lack of societal order.Key Characteristics of the DistrictSetting & Aesthetics: The city blends retro, traditional red-light district architecture (such as ceramic-tiled roofs) with a chaotic, bustling atmosphere.Inhabitants: The district is a diverse melting pot where humans and Beastmen coexist.Dark Underbelly: The area is plagued by missing persons, disfigured animals, and lurking evil spirits.

Government stance!!: In the manga Gokurakugai, the government is an oppressive, authoritarian regime that rules over the upper region, often looking down upon the lower areas as lawless "Trash Country." They maintain control through strict Security Defense Forces and use their authority to exploit the vulnerable, including enslaving women and children.Because the story focuses primarily on the criminal underworld and supernatural elements, the official government operates mostly in the background, though they play a direct antagonistic role in earlier lore (such as the spin-off/one-shot stories).Instead of relying on standard government police, the bustling and chaotic Gokurakugai district relies on two main underground factions to maintain order and fight supernatural threats:Gokurakugai Troubleshooter Agency: Run by Tao and Alma, this is a for-hire "jack-of-all-trades" organization that officially takes on odd jobs, missing person cases, and retrieval tasks.Saragi Anti-Maga Organization: Behind the Troubleshooter Agency's cover, Tao and Alma's true affiliation is with Saragi. This secret, underground group is dedicated to hunting and eradicating the Maga (Disaster Beasts)—monstrous entities born from the corpses of humans and animals
