About this title

Synopsis

The story of AkaAka begins with a dream filled with red camellia and the passing of a strange mask. The owner of this mask is a young boy named Yue who lives at a temple populated with rather unusual residents. The nearby town Utsuwa is holding a winter festival. Kurogitsune, his fox spirit friend, decides it's the perfect opportunity for the sheltered Yue to experience the sights, sounds, and most of all—the food! Even though Yue is forbidden to ever leave the temple, they sneak into town, not realizing what they've set into motion... (Source: the manga habit)

Main characters

Yue15 fan favorites
External profile
A carefree young man, living life at his own pace. Having never left the temple he was born and raised in, Yue's norm is filled with the supernatural, such as shape-shifting fox spirits and talking, flying fish. He is often tired and notorious for sleeping while standing and even passing out in random places. Yue always carries a fox mask which was supposedly given to him by Kurogitsune.

Kurogitsune7 fan favorites
External profile
Kurogitsune (literally “black fox”) is a feisty and excitable fox spirit usually found in the company of Yue. He can take either a fox or human form, although he retains his ears and tail. As a resident of the temple, Kurogitsune’s role is to protect Yue. He clearly knows something about Yue’s past, but casually deflects any questions. Unlike Yue, Kurogitsune occasionally descends from the mountain into town alone. However, he is not fond of humans, only their food.

Tsubaki Tougo4 fan favorites
External profile
Tsubaki is a high school boy who hates the red flowers he was named after. He lives with his younger sister Hina in a house surrounded by camellia. At the winter festival, Tsubaki stood out from all the faceless people and caught Yue’s interest. Both Tsubaki and Kurogitsune seemed nervous about this encounter, but Tsubaki quickly recollected himself. Aloof to a fault, Tsubaki keeps everyone at a comfortable distance. Sagano offhandedly commented that Tsubaki is a liar, even to himself. (Source: the manga habit) No voice actors have been added to this character.

Akiyoshi Tochika0 fan favorites
External profile
Akiyoshi is a high school boy who is sensitive to the supernatural. Thus, he fancies himself as a protector of the town. In reality, Akiyoshi is an awkward boy who wears a mask to curb his allergies. Believing he senses a fox spirit inside of Yue, Akiyoshi is wary, yet still drawn to him. To Yue, Akiyoshi appears as a distinguishable human being, meaning they share a special fate… (Source: the manga habit) No voice actors have been added to this character.

Sagano0 fan favorites
External profile
A mysterious man with elaborate facial markings who casually dons what appears to be a bloody fox tail muffler. Sagano seemingly knows a good deal about both Yue’s identity and the source of Yue’s troubled dreams, but he discloses no information. Sagano is often seen with a cold smirk on his face. Kurogitsune notes that the only time Sagano doesn’t appear dangerous or threatening is when he's eating. (Source: the manga habit) No voice actors have been added to this character.
