School Youkai of the 3rd rank, "The Dancing Higanbana". It is said that in the middle of the night a doll dances atop the cabinets of the infirmary. Cursing and injuring others, she is the infirmary's master. She is feared even by other youkai for her brutality. Higanbana spends her days in the infirmary usually eating steamed buns while watching anime late into the night. However, Marie sees through her demonic persona and the two get along. Higanbana often butts heads with Sumire over prey, so they're rivals in hunting.

A girl with a self-proclaimed sixth sense. She really does have the gift to sense the supernatural. she is revered by a club of occult girls who believe in exorcisms and the power of charms. Although her eye healed a long time ago, she doesn't take off her eye patch. It's her evil eye. She often dresses up in goth-loli outfits due to her parents' hobbies. Her favourite brand name is Auntie Rosa. Michiru is the one responsible for the curses during the events of "Shrine of the Guardian Deity". She recommended a group of girls to apologise to the guardian deity after they inadvertently broke its shrine, warning them that they could get cursed if they don't do so. However, as they didn't believe in the supernatural, they just laughed at Michiru. Already feeling alienated, Michiru dropped a chair on one of the girls as part of the "guardian deity curse" she concocted to make the girls believe and apologise to the deity. Marie eventually talks Michiru out of continuing to "curse" the girls. Her spiritual powers rapidly accelerated after her meeting with Mesomeso-san.

Teacher and advisor of the art club. A bewitching sort of pheromone hangs about her and she allures men of all ages. She's very happy when she's at her target body weight. She had a lot of chances to make passes at men, but because her preferences are so specific, she doesn't have a boyfriend. She is a paedophile that finds pleasure in making young boys model for her and drawing pictures of them. More specifically, she enjoys harming young boys and drawing their agonised expressions. When Yuuki rejected her requests, she became enraged and pushed him into a desk, unwittingly causing a heavy bust to fall off and hit Yuuki's head, killing him. She's become a prime example of a perverted teacher. Normally, she's very kind, but behind closed doors she's rather violent. Right now, she's running a never-ending marathon through Escher's "Ascending and Descending".

A girl who has lost the will to live, and remains living out of sheer force of habit. When she stepped on the 13th step, she was forced into a 49-day trial, searching for the meaning in life. Having survived the trial, she underwent a major change, and even became a member of the track and field club. Her club advisor looks a lot like Izanami. He's still working her hard, even today. Everyday, she counts the steps on each staircase she walks on in the hopes of the meeting Izanami again.

A former student of the school. He is a very sensitive boy. Being as gentle as he is, the chaos within the school made him an easy target for bullying. He has a strange power that allows him to visualise emotions, and he has made it his mission in life to draw pictures of the scenery he sees. The reason that he is able to converse with youkai is because he has a similar wavelength to them. Even now, he is one of the very few humans that Higanbana respects.

The Fourth-Ranked School Youkai. The elder sister of Sumire, she commands the growth of magical thistles. Azami uses her honeyed words to draw in prey. The magical thistles are only visible to those who are being bullied. If they eat one of those thistles, they will become a bully themselves. Her honeyed words are a terrifying hypocritical technique. Her ladylike manner of dressings draws in bullied children and makes them think she's some goddess who has come to save them. Apparently, there was once a time when she would take on a human guise and became an incredibly bad bully herself.

The Second-Ranked School Youkai. The Reaper of the 13th Step. He curses whoever steps on the 13th step to be chased for 49 days straight. He loves to preach his beliefs about enthusiasm as his prey runs from him. If you're caught, it's over. You'll be locked away in an unearthly cage of a world, left to melt for all of eternity. He decorates his living quarters with quotes from Matsuoka Shuuzou. He's been on bad terms with the vice principal (Black Tea Gentleman) ever since he was scolded for running in the halls. ~As Izanami-sensei~ The hot-blooded gym teacher that advises the track and field club. The temporary appearance that Izanami takes when he needs a human form. "If you've got time to worry, then run!" he spouts off his motto while driving the students to keep running with his bamboo sword. Most of the students are frightened by him, but there are a good amount of girls that are enthusiastic fans of his. He's had so much fun training the students that he's been forgetting to hunt.

The Fifth-Ranked School Youkai. He is the guardian of the mirrors that lead to other worlds. He also controls the different personalities that humans show. He has a nihilistic and wild personality, and is particularly vicious to humans. Apparently this is because of a grudge against humans from when he was still an animal spirit. Even if he tries to falsify how he's feeling with a poker face, his emotions still come out through his trail. This is a source of much dismay to him.

The Sixth-Ranked School Youkai. Renoir is a tsukumogami (a youkai born from a very old inanimate object) that haunts paintings in the art room. This being an era when no one has any room in their heart for showing interest in paintings, Renoir finds itself sleeping a lot. Renoir very rarely interferes with the other school youkai's hunts, so they tend to dote on it like a younger sibling. Renoir is a boy. He is often mistaken for a female due to his lack of masculine features. He's usually fast asleep, but once in a while, he will wake up and pull a human into one of the paintings.

A pitiful girl made the target of bullying because of unfortunate circumstances at home. She tried to stay strong after her mother's death, but it was difficult for her at that age. She has a complex because she's taller than most boys, and cute clothes don't suit her. When Reiko becomes the new target of the bullying, Yukari was at first, both glad and guilty. She never took part in the bullying, despite Reiko's suggestion that it would Yukari "fit in better". Feeling more confident since she became friends with Reiko, Yukari suggests that they join forces and stand up to the bullies together. However, Marie appears and reveals Reiko's true form - Sumire of the Twilight. Sumire leaves Yukari's class, which caused Yukari to get bullied again. However, the bullying escalated much further and faster than before. Shortly afterwards on a whim, Higanbana thwarts Sumire's plans by causing a bus crash which killed all of the bullies. These days, she still hates bullying, and when boys go beyond playful pranks, she often snaps at them. Perhaps believing that kind of personality is cool, her popularity is rising among the girls. She bears a small resemblance to Furude Rika from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Bernkastel from Umineko no Naku Koro ni. However, she isn't related to any of them beyond the resemblance.

Being a person that hates losing, he adamantly refused to accept that he was being bullied. Because of that, he ended up changing himself by way of a magical thistle. He hates Yukari for interfering. He's the kind of guy who ends up acting mean to the girl he likes.

Her tacky attire can almost be counted as one of the Seven Mysteries. Her favourite saying is "there are no encounters and there are no good men." She even grumbles this to the students. She has a light supernatural sense, and on occasion it seems she can even sense Higanbana's presence. Taking care of Higanbana's doll, she is her guardian. Immune like a spiritual ward, she is completely safe even in the middle of Higanbana's aura.

He is the School Youkai of the 1st rank, "The Headmaster". It is said that he slips out of a photo of a principal from ages past in the principal's office and wanders around the campus grounds. It is also said that he spirits away students that he meets and erases any trace of their existence from reality itself. He shows a calm disposition but he hides a terrifying brutality. Now he's older, but once he was a youkai who could devour entire schools. It seems he has a terrifying wife as well, so he spends his time at school to avoid going home.

The guardian deity of the shrine which was broken during the events of "Shrine of the Guardian Deity". While not strictly a School Youkai, he is the leader of the animal spirits in the area. He looks like a fox, but he claims he is really a lion. He has a calm disposition, but he is truly a coward. He says he can fight when it counts, but he won't listen to the ghost story of curses in the night. He loves pounded fish cakes. The infirmary nurse gives them to him as offerings. Although he bears a very strong resemblance to Sakutarou from Umineko no Naku Koro ni, the two aren't related.

He calls himself "Hameln of the Music Room". He doesn't rank among the eight school youkai. It's said that if one heas the sound of his castanets, they will be transformed into an animal. Since he has a moody disposition, he is well suited as a youkai. He's a frightful man when he takes off his mask. Thankfully, he loves masks. In reality, Hameln was an ambitious, hugely egotistical opportunist. While he liked the pipe, he couldn't monologue while blowing on, so he changed instruments. Moody and whimsical, he clearly gave Hikaru about the same treatment as a lamp. One day, he reveals that he has been watching Hikaru abuse the rabbits. Seeing Hikaru as an opportunity, Hameln used Hikaru in order to achieve his goal of becoming a ranked youkai. Feigning cooperation, Hameln used his powers to turn Hikaru's "tormentors" into rabbits, and then Hikaru would slaughter them. He fights Higanbana, and turns her into a rabbit. Hameln "ate" Higanbana, but she killed him by eating his insides and jumped out of him.

Marie's homeroom teacher. He is a lively and popular teacher among the girls... but he keeps a wild animal inside of himself, and Marie becomes its outlet. Initially, he was ambitious and idealistic, but Kanamori attributes his changes to cracking under various pressures as well as being disillusioned. Kanamori becomes paranoid about Marie eventually revealing their "relationship", and strangles her to death when she tried to confront him (Marie planned on reporting him to the authorities, using the video recordings Kanamori made as evidence against him). He was competing alongside Marie in the hopes of becoming Meso-Meso, but was killed because he broke the rules of the "game" (speaking to Mesomeso-san). In the end, Marie became Mesomeso-san and crushed his entire body into dust.

He's not ranked among the Eight School Youkai, but it is whispered that he is the shadow second rank in power. As the right hand man of the Headmaster, he is a powerful youkai also known as the "Vice Principal". As his name implies, he is rarely seen without some tea. He holds the power to amplify the dreams of children and let them escape reality. This is what he did to Midori, as part of her wish to be loved and have the main role in the school play. He offers his powers to people in exchange for a portion of their souls. He can be seen as either overflowing with kindness or with cruelty. He is the natural enemy of youkai like Higanbana, who hunt by inviting their victims to die. His hobby is to read children's writings about their "Dreams of the Future".

Midori is a popular and wealthy student, loved by everyone in her class. Her peers' adoration of her extends to even everyone in her grade, and possibly the entire school. She is also a prominent member of the school's drama club, and is expected to earn the role of the main character for the club's latest production. In reality, Midori is still unpopular as she was before, but thanks to her contract with the Black Tea Gentleman, she is blissfully deluded. She once had a lot of respect and boasted the wealth of her household. But now, she is being neglected in class and being treated exactly the opposite. In reality and on the stage, she's the vain girl who wants to be a princess. With the Black Tea Gentleman's power, today she is performing as a princess on a stage that exists only for her to see. Incidentally, she does have a lot of acting ability. If she can put up with her current misfortunes, she'll surely blossom.

A highly intelligent, brilliant youth who gets the best grades. His jealous classmates frequently bully him. He looks down upon his inept classmates. He started attending cram school from an early age and earns the best grades. He began to look down upon his peers more and more as time went on. Eventually, he ended up picking on one of his classmates for being "an underachiever". He was bullied because of that, and so he channelled his anger through attacking rabbits. He's slightly mental. He hides a twisted split personality within the darkness of his own mind. One day, an unranked youkai named Hameln reveals that he has been watching Hikaru abuse the rabbits. Seeing Hikaru as an opportunity, Hameln uses Hikaru in order to achieve his goal of becoming a ranked youkai. Hameln's castanets (when played in the music room) has the power to turn those who hear its tune into small animals. Feigning cooperation, Hameln turned Hikaru's "tormentors" into rabbits, and then Hikaru would slaughter them.
