The Devil on G-String/Characters

This page lists the characters of the Visual Novel, G Senjou no Maou, and the tropes associated with them. Major spoilers will be found ahead.

Azai Kyousuke / Samejima Kyousuke


The foster son of Azai Gonzou and the protagonist of G Senjou no Maou. He has a reputation in school for being a rich playboy, but in truth, he is sunk deep in debt under Azai Gonzou and is working to repay his family's debt.

"Kyousuke: If we keep the events of this awful night a secret, then even might have a future. ...Not that future is of any importance to me. It'd just be a waste of an able mind."
 * A God Am I: Played for laughs with his alternate identity as "God".
 * Audio Erotica: Mizuha thinks that Kyousuke's voice is hot, especially when it deepens when using his other persona.
 * Berserk Button: Damage any of his CDs. Subverted later on: He admits that he's exaggerating and really just playing around.
 * Cannot Tell a Joke: His attempts at humor are bad. Probably intentional to at least a degree since he seems to enjoy annoying Eiichi. But not entirely.
 * The Casanova: He invokes this trope as part of his image.
 * Chick Magnet
 * : With Haru.
 * : Two, actually: . However, for the latter, it's subverted, since it turns out that.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: Played for laughs. Kanon breaks his CD? An elaborate revenge plot involving an accomplice breaking into the faculty office by luring a teacher out with nonsense so that the accomplice can steal the keys to the sports shed and keep Kanon from being able to play in a tournament she was looking forward to. Eventually subverted against Mizuha when he gets bored halfway through.
 * Freudian Excuse: Having come from a very poor family and heavily indebted, his attitude towards others is pretty much due to his childhood.
 * H-Game POV Character - Starts out as a Type IV, becomes a Type V in two bad endings(See Kick the Dog below). Graduates to Type IIB in most good endings as he starts showing a genuinely nice side to him.
 * Hidden Eyes:
 * Informed Attribute: We're told how smart he is, but most of the clever deductions and plots come from Usami, Maou and Gonzou instead.
 * Jerkass Facade
 * Kick the Dog: Mizuha's and Tsubaki's bad endings.
 * Oblivious to Love: Averted with Tsubaki and mostly averted with Kanon, but he's apparently not good with picking up on tsunderes and tends to dismiss Usami.
 * Only Sane Man: To an extent, though his elaborate petty revenge throws it into question. There's also a more serious application of the trope where
 * Rich Idiot With No Day Job
 * Selective Obliviousness: He does his best to ignore Usami's rather obvious attraction. To be fair, she's kind of weird and thus her behavior is easier to dismiss.
 * Serious Business: Classical music.
 * Shaggy Dog Story:
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: Confined to his inner monologues, so he can never be called on it at least.
 * Shaggy Dog Story:
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: Confined to his inner monologues, so he can never be called on it at least.


 * Tsundere: Towards everyone. But a lot of it is just his inner monologue since he pretends to be nice. The outward tsun behavior is mostly reserved for Usami, though. Interestingly, the other girls appear to pick up on this.
 * Uncanny Family Resemblance:
 * Yakuza: Subverted. He may be affiliated with them, but he's not officially a part of them.

The main heroine of the story. She transfers into Kyousuke's school early on. Haru is a strange young girl intent on catching "Maou". Also friends with Tokita Yuki.

 * Everything's Better with Penguins: She apparently thinks so.
 * : To Kyousuke.
 * Four-Temperament Ensemble: Choleric.

 * Love Redeems:
 * New Transfer Student
 * No Social Skills
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: She doesn't quite hide her intelligence, but she pretends to be more easily flustered than she really is and may be playing up her strange attitude to some extent.
 * Otaku: How she manages to be an otaku when she's dirt poor is anyone's guess.
 * Perpetual Poverty
 * Rapunzel Hair: She hasn't had a haircut in about a decade. Also, it's admitted that it's a real bitch to keep clean and even then it tends to look very messy. The hair extends all the way down to her thighs
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: There is great emphasis on her eyes when she's being serious, and they also appear significantly brighter during those times.

 * Four-Temperament Ensemble: Phlegmatic.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness:
 * The Ingenue
 * The Messiah: Also played with/deconstructed by showing that people with her attitude are also easily walked over by others. See Extreme Doormat above.

 * Stalker with a Crush: She's not, but something she says very early in the story causes Kyousuke to make a joke about it.
