Sorawo Kamikoshi146 fan favorites
External profile
Sorawo Kamikoshi is a timid and antisocial university student with a knack for exploring ruins. Although she is well-versed in urban legends, she expresses dislike for what she considers "fake rumors" — as opposed to "true ghost stories" that are primary accounts of witnesses to paranormal events. Sorawo found the "Otherside" by chance and initially planned to make it her secret retreat, until she met Toriko there. Together, they explore the Otherside, uncovering its mysteries and collecting artifacts to sell to Kozakura for research. After a confrontation with a Kunekune from the Otherside, Sorawo's right eye is left permanently blue and gains the ability to see the Otherside beings' "core." She usually wears a brown contact lens in order to not draw attention to it. It appears that she is more susceptible to being manipulated by illusion-type apparitions, usually requiring Toriko to snap her out of the hypnotic trance she's put in. About her family:

External profile
Toriko is a mysterious girl Sorawo meets in the Otherside. She invites Sorawo to her forays into the Otherside, offering money in exchange for help in locating her mentor, Satsuki, who'd gone missing in the Otherside during a solo expedition. Toriko is usually frivolous by nature and adept at using guns and survival tactics, but also quite perceptive at reading Sorawo's mood and tactful about other people's past and circumstances, although she can come across as blunt and insensitive when interacting with people she doesn't know too well. After a confrontation with a Kunekune from the Otherside, Toriko's left hand is left translucently blue and can grab onto incorporeal Otherside beings and portals after Sorawo uses her right eye on them. She usually wears a glove on that hand in order to not draw unwanted attention to it. Later, Toriko remarks that her left hand can bleed when she accidentally gets a cut there. About her family:
