About this title

Synopsis

"Irises" are unique abilities most people are said to possess from birth. These powers manifest themselves in the form of visual cues and range from lie detection to danger prediction. Unfortunately, high school student Tooru Mizushima is one of the very few without an Iris. As an "Iris Zero," he is frequently bullied, and therefore, he tries to stand out as little as possible. However, when the popular schoolgirl Koyuki Sasamori comes crashing into Tooru's life, his motto of minimal exposure is brutally shattered. Koyuki's Iris allows her to identify the most qualified person for a certain task—and she determines Tooru to be the most capable person to help her find the next student council president. Tooru refuses to become involved in such a public affair, but Koyuki's cheerful persistence ultimately prevails. And so, Tooru's lonely life as an Iris Zero slowly changes as he comes to meet more people and utilize his exceptional deduction skills to solve various mysteries. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Birthday: September 14 Sign: Virgo Blood Type: A Likes: Cake Dislikes: Capsicum Mizushima Tooru (class 2-3) is one of the few people born with no Iris, an Iris Zero. Because of that, he was bullied in childhood and is desperately trying not to stand out in any way. His motto is "Minimal Exposure" but after Sasamori Koyuki, one of the most popular girls in school (and therefore his natural enemy), takes interest in him, it starts to become more and more difficult for him to not being noticed. Tooru's best friend is Shinozuka Hijiri (class 2-6) and he's known Yuki Asahi (also 2-6) from childhood, though for a long time they were far from what could be called "friendship." He is very good at solving puzzles concerning other people's feelings—he's developed an ability to see things from others' perspective as a way of protecting himself from being bullied. Still he's quite reluctant to do anything, unless it concerns preventing himself from being exposed. He has a really sweet tooth. No voice actors have been added to this character.

Birthday: December 20 Sign: Sagittarius Blood Type: O Likes: Chawanmushi (savoury egg custard) Dislikes: Celery Because of her Iris that allows her to see people "qualified" (O above the person's head) or "unqualified"(X above the head) to any task she thinks of at the moment, she is chosen to find a new Student Council President. After it becomes more difficult than she thought, she turns to Mizushima Toru, a person "qualified" to help her. Because of her popularity in school, he's far from being delighted with her, but in the end he helps her... Very grateful, she tries to become closer to Toru, even though he's clearly avoiding her. Koyuki is cute, cheerful, helpful and popular. She's in class 2-6 along with her best friend Yuki Asahi and Toru's best (and only actually) friend, Shinozuka Hijiri. Koyuki can't say "no" when someone asks her for favor, so sometimes she's quite busy. Also she's always very concerned about others which is sometimes seen (by Toru, for example) as just her being meddlesome. No voice actors have been added to this character.

Birthday: May 10 Sign: Taurus Blood Type: AB Likes: Green Tea Dislikes: Melon Being an Iris Zero, Toru isn't too popular, but Hijiri doesn't care about that and is his best friend. He always seems carefree and easy-going—the sleeves of his uniform seem to be longer than necessary—but there is more to him than meets the eye. Very few people know about his Iris—as he is keeping that secret—and it was only Toru that was able to see through him... No voice actors have been added to this character.

Birthday: July 3 Sign: Cancer Blood Type: B Likes: chocolate, sweets Dislikes: fresh cream Asahi was Toru's friend in childhood, one of a few who knew about him being an Iris Zero. When they got into fight she revealed his secret, causing him to become a victim of bullying—that made them more of "childhood enemies" than "childhood friends." Asahi is now Sasamori Koyuki's best friend, together with her in class 2-6. When Asahi slaps her homeroom teacher, Fujimura-sensei, Koyuki runs to Toru (who's "qualified" to help) and makes him resolve the problem—thus causing Toru and Asahi to eventually make up. With her Iris's power Asahi can see a devil's tails growing out of people when they are lying. She has a strong sense of justice and was apiring to become a police officer in the future. After the incident she decided to aim for being a lawyer instead. She is strong-willed and independent though she is afraid of ghost and the-like. No voice actors have been added to this character.

Birthday: April 22 Zodiac sign: Taurus Blood type: B Likes: spicy foods Dislikes: milk Toru's classmate, a bespectacled and kind of mysterious guy. Childhood friend of Koga Nanase. He seems to be a cold, scheming type, who doesn't care for others and plans something behind the curtains... Even though in volumes' omakes he's pictured as a pervert type.
