Pink Dark Boy Fan Brothers

Novel Debut: Blood-Stained Bookmark

Two young brothers who are deeply engrossed in reading Pink Dark Boy at S City library's reading space. Rohan Kishibe overhears them debate how best to continue their marathon of the series. One brother worries that someone else might check out the volume before they finish, while the other reassures him that the library has multiple copies. However, the first brother explains that each copy has different yet connected stories, making it crucial to read as many volumes as possible.

Realizing that their borrowing limit is five books per person, they devise a plan to check out ten volumes together to maximize their progress. Lamenting their limited allowance from their mom, they acknowledge they could never afford to buy the entire series themselves and resolve to rely on the library to read everything. Their excitement for Pink Dark Boy overpowers any concern for the library's rumors of the red bookmark, though Rohan isn't sure if they are even aware of it.

Later, at the counter, Rohan spots them checking out volumes 27 through 36 of his manga. He wonders if they had to deal with the embodiment of Curiosity just like he did, and somehow provided their own answer. He smirks, recognizing their dedication.

Jingiin University Library Director

Novel Debut: Censored Equation

The library director of Jingiin University in Morioh. He is a fan of Rohan Kishibe. When Rohan visits the library for research, the director leads him to a small empty conference room so that he wouldn't be disturbed by university students, and assigns Yuto Chikamori to help Rohan find what he wanted.

Chikamori's Girlfriend

Novel Debut: Censored Equation

The girlfriend of Yuto Chikamori is a student at Jingiin University, who during her third year, discovers a dust-covered journal hidden between the shelves of the university library. The journal belonged to a former physics student and detailed an equation that purportedly allowed access to another dimension. Intrigued, she immerses herself in the equation, believing it to be a breakthrough in understanding spatial structures and physical constants. However, solving it proves near impossible due to three major obstacles: unknown constants that require extensive manual calculations, the failure of computers to process the equation, and an eerie, ever-present sensation of being watched that grows stronger as she progresses.

Over two years, she dedicates herself to solving the equation, uncovering cryptic numerical traces left by past researchers in historical records, paintings, and public broadcasts. Realizing she is part of a centuries-long effort, she continues the calculations despite the mounting psychological toll. As she nears a solution, the sensation of being watched intensifies to a disturbing level, affecting her daily life. She becomes increasingly paranoid, unable to be alone or tolerate open spaces, yet remains fixated on completing the equation.

One night at 2:17 AM, she successfully substitutes the final constant, producing a solution. Expecting something significant to occur, she waits—but nothing happens. Disappointed yet undeterred, she plans to revisit her work the next day. However, as she prepares to leave, she notices that all the text around her had transformed into numbers. Her name on the sign-out sheet, book spines, labels, and even digital screens had become numerical sequences. When all the numbers change to a "5," she realizes it is a countdown. In a panic, she attempts to erase all traces of the equation, ultimately tearing out the first page and swallowing it as the countdown reaches "0." However, she ends up falling into a coma.

For three years, she remains unconscious, her condition deteriorating with no medical explanation. Rohan finds out about her from Chikamori and visits her in the hospital, believing she is the daughter of a wealthy family since she has stayed in a private room in the hospital for three years. Upon reading her memories through Heaven's Door, Rohan learns that the missing half of the equation had been inside her stomach all along, unknowingly preventing anyone, including her boyfriend, from completing it. After erasing her knowledge of the equation by tearing out the pages, Rohan leaves her hospital room just as she begins to stir awake for the first time in years. Chikamori then enters her room with a bouquet of yellow gerbera daisies and gasps when seeing her awake.

Seiko's Father

Novel Debut: Okamisama Chapter 1 (Mentioned)

The father of Seiko Sakanoue. He was a painter whose catchphrase was "If only I had money". He ended up using Okamisama to bribe the judges of an art competition and eventually went bankrupt, dying from Okamisama's debt collection. Traumatized by what happened to him, Seiko becomes a tax advisor to prevent other talented people from making the same mistake he did.

Setagaya Bookstore Cashier

Novel Debut: Okamisama Chapter 2

A cashier working at a bookstore in Setagaya. After asking Rohan if he has a points card and if he would like to sign up for one to get a 5% rebate per purchase, Rohan criticizes them for robotically reading off a script. Rohan tells the cashier to write "Okamisama" as the recipient on his receipt. The cashier is puzzled and hesitates at first, but complies. After doing so, the cashier suddenly tells Rohan that he is the 10,000th customer of their store and that his purchase is free.

Setagaya Taxi Driver

Novel Debut: Okamisama Chapter 3

The driver of a private taxi in Setagaya, a black car with a green license plate. He conveniently appears when Rohan is running away from Okamisama. He is a man who got caught having an affair with a college girl and now has to pay tens of thousands in settlement fees to his wife. However, he doesn't regret it, feeling that things with his wife were getting stale and that the college girl was worth it. He's grateful that Rohan tells him to drive as far as possible since he could use the extra cash from a long ride.

After Rohan realizes that he is getting younger due to Okamisama and that his debt was piling up from the taxi ride, he tries getting the driver to stop. However, there is nowhere for the driver to stop on the highway. Rohan tries ripping the receipt, but it redirects the damage to his forehead, causing his blood to spill all over the car seat. The driver angrily demands that Rohan pays him 50,000 yen to replace the car seat. When Okamisama adds that debt to Rohan's receipt, the driver's anger instantly vanishes.

Eventually, Rohan sees a sign for a service area and orders the taxi driver to stop over there. The driver is confused seeing a child where an adult passenger had once been and hesitates but ultimately obeys. The moment they stop, Rohan uses Heaven's Door on the driver to unleash a brutal series of punches on Rohan, beating him just enough so that he won't die, avoiding his eyes and hands so he can still draw manga. If Rohan were to take legal action, the driver could be liable for a massive settlement fee, potentially exceeding 500,000 yen. With this "future payment" now secured, Rohan offers the taxi driver a way out. He presents the Okamisama receipt and proposes that they settle things here and now, wiping away both the taxi fare and the debt he accumulated. Though initially confused, the driver, wracked with guilt, hesitates before accepting. The moment he agrees, the infants that had been relentlessly pursuing Rohan stop their debt collection and vanish. Rohan's body returns to an adult size and the injuries inflicted by the driver remain, but the driver has no memory of doing the assault. He assumes that Rohan must have been in a fight before entering the taxi and doesn't want to be dragged into Rohan's mess.

Debut: Rohan au Louvre (Film)
Live Action Actor: Makoto Nakamura, Tomoya Masuda

Two clerks working at a backstreet antique shop, which Rohan Kishibe visits one day. The middle-aged clerk asks if Rohan needs any help, but Rohan ignores him, instead focused on the chaotic display of products on the shelves. The clerk and his young shop assistant find Rohan suspicious, so Rohan finally answers him, informing him that he's doing research on art for his manga. The clerk asks if he's famous, so Rohan points out an autograph of his that is in the corner of the shop. It was a fake autograph that Rohan hadn't actually drawn himself. The mustached clerk stops pretending to be nice, admitting to Rohan that they sell fake goods and that there's no need for Rohan to buy the real products if he just needs them to draw manga. The young shop assistant tries getting the older clerk to stop talking, but the mustached man underestimated Rohan, who he knew nothing about. Rohan's glare and aura scare the two clerks, overwhelming them once he rants about how an appraiser could tell his drawings were based on fake products if he didn't draw the real thing. Exasperated, the clerks tell Rohan that they have real goods in the back that they'll sell to him, but Rohan reveals his true purpose for coming to the shop. He didn't actually come there to study art, but rather because he knew the store sold fake goods and autographs. He declares that he wants to interview the criminals who would run a shop like that, but the clerk demands that he leaves since they don't allow interviews. In an instant, the two clerks fall unconscious as Rohan uses Heaven's Door in order to "interview" them. The men unfurl into books, allowing Rohan to read their memories.

Rohan has no intention of reporting the criminals since he wasn't a policeman nor someone who cared for justice. However, as a manga artist, he could not overlook them disrespecting art. With Heaven's Door, he writes an order that they treat all works with the utmost respect. Some things he read in their books made him angry, but he feels it was valuable information for drawing a realistic criminal character, as he learned their methods and how they strayed from a proper life.
