Characters
Aikawa Ayumu - He is the series protagonist, in the previous series he was murder by a serial killer. Then latter on brought back to life by Yuu, who is a silent necromancer. Which later on he had the unfortunate luck of meeting Haruna, which latter leaded to him becoming a Masou Shojou (Magical Girl). This all makes him a very complicated and troubled young man, when all he wants is a normal life. That is a little difficult when everything about his life is anything but normal.
Haruna – She is the Mahou Shojou that had her powers stolen by Ayumu when she tried to erase his memories after she chopped him in half in the process of trying to kill a meglo. That currently she is a freeloader that is living in Ayumu's house while waiting for her powers to return, and while she is waiting she has Ayumu work as a substitute Masou Shojou.
Eucliwood Hellsythe “yuu” - Is the person that resurrected Ayumu, also she is unusual because she doesn't speak or to be more precious she choose not to speak. The reason being is that her very words influence the universe, that if she told someone to die they would. There is also the fact that even after she dies her magic will never fade. This is way her only way of communication is through pen and paper.
Seraphim “Sera” - Is part of a clan of Vampire-Ninjas, she can to Yuu because she wants her to resurrect their leader. That to this ends she is willing to be Yuu's servant, however Yuu doesn't want her because she already has Ayumu. This leads to her being Ayumu's servant in name only, and decided to live in Ayumu's house until she is able to convince Yuu to resurrect her ninja's clan leader.
Mael Strom “Yoshida Yuki” - Is from a Ninja clan, that are rival with the Sera's clan. That by an unfortunate accident she ended up kiss Ayumu. That according to Sera Vampire-Ninja's consider kissing someone as being married to them and it doesn't matter if it was intend or not. This makes her association with Ayumu a bit complicated because Sera lives with him and is technical his servant.
Sarasvati – She is from the same Ninja clan as Sera, and what make her interesting is her view on Ayumu. The reason for this is Sera hates him, while Sarasvati is in love with him or more preciously his ass. Which I would think would make for a particular uncomfortable conversation. Also what makes things a bit more interesting is that she is Sera's supperior.
Orito – He is Ayumu's friend and classmate, and is mostly regard by others as being generally creepy. While Ayumu tries to take great care to keep him out of his magical life because Ayumu wants to preserve some degree of normalcy in his life.
Taeko Hiramatsu – Is Yuki's friend and Ayumu's classmate, although currently Ayumu doesn't know about her feelings for him. However it would be interesting to see how Ayumu would react if he knew how she felt.
Summary
In way this first episode pays homage to the first episode of the first season of the series. In the beginning there is mostly a focus on Ayumu return to his normal daily life after all the insanity that happened in the previous season, this is mostly a set-up for an introduction to all the old characters from the first season. This is done by having him pass-out in class by being dried out by the sun, this cause him to be brought to the infirmary by his classmates. Then while there he see this mysterious girl that is looking for an alcohol lamp, this for some reason lead to him to believe that she was a ghost. When he explains this to the girls living in his home to see if it could be possible, they don't believe that ghost exist. Although Ayumu finds this strange because if a necromancer, vampire-ninja, zombie, and masou shojou are real then why can't a ghost be real too. This brief introduction into the main characters end with them telling him it just his imagination.
The next day passes mostly uneventful, until he is preparing to go home after waiting for the sun to go down. While he is making his way out of the school he goes by the infirmary and smells something strange so he goes in to check it out, expecting it to be a megalo or a serial killer. However it turns out to be the girl from the other day, and the reason she was looking for the lamp was to use it to cook a squid on. This leads to them having a conversation, while getting drunk but Ayumu drink water and still manages to get drunk. However the unusual thing is one moment she was there but the next she was gone, and goes home believe that all the things that have happen has caused him to create an imaginary friend. He goes home to tell this to the woman living with him, and it seems like they don't really care either which way. Although we don't really know for certain if she really was created by his imagination or if it is something else entirely.
The next day Orito is talking to the class during break about some-sort of cross-dressing chainsaw wielding pervert, and in this magazine this person look speciously like Ayumu. That Ayumu realizes that the photo must have been taken when he was fighting the serial killer in the graveyard, and while he tries to denies the fact that it could be him. Hiramitsu stands up in his defense, that there is no-way Ayumu would do something like that. Then with his innocence acquire secured he leaves to try and get some comfort from his imaginary friend by going to the deserted science room.
However when he gets there it turns out a triple A-class megalo is there looking for him, and it uses the same creepy line about wanting him that was used in the first series. Then Haruna shows up believing that she can got her powers back and tries to transform, and it is initially believed that she was successful however Ayumu who is behind her knows better because she was only successful with the front not the back. This causes Haruna to once again force her job on Ayumu, which leads to him transforming and fighting this monster in-front of his whole school. Which normal wouldn't be a problem because he can just erase there memories latter but when the fight is finished the chainsaw breaks. Then with the breaking of the chainsaw everyone going to remember what he looked like as a masou shojou.
The other problem was since his armor/clothes were created by the chainsaw, that means now he is naked. The interesting question is how will things progress with him being unable to defeat megalos also the fact that he can no-long force people to un-see what they have seen. The thing that makes this series so great is how everything, is always so messed-up that you don't know what to expect.
