Yume Miru Kusuri/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Character sheet for Yume Miru Kusuri include:

Kagami Kouhei

"I live the same day every day. I go to school. I go back home."

The protagonist of the story, just an ordinary student. He works hard to get good grades and not stand out, but this plan doesn't work too well once he meets the three heroines. Kouhei's parents died when he was young because of some unspecified incident, and he was adopted as a Kagami since the Kagami family were friends of his parents. However, he still feels like he doesn't belong very well.

He hallucinates that he hears the sound of a train, as well as a woman who demands that he fight her, whenever he's not doing anything, which he analyzes as having to do with his boredom and static lifestyle.

Shiraki Aeka

"Please take the loneliness away for just a little while..."

A girl in Kouhei's class. She was socially ostracized shortly after she transferred in because of an unknowing offense to Kyoka, and is now viciously bullied every single day; the roof of the school building is her only real refuge. Her way of thinking is a little strange, but she and Kouhei have a number of pleasant conversations and she seems to be a very kind girl. If the player chooses her route, she is revealed to be intensely depressed and considering suicide; Kouhei is her only reason for not going through with it yet. As her route progresses, she's also revealed to have a deeply hidden dark side, along with troubles at home.

In her bad ending (and if the player doesn't choose her route), she actually attempts suicide, but survives... and is hospitalized in critical condition. In her good ending, she confronts Kyoka and Gaito with Kouhei after her Attempted Rape, and moves in with Kouhei's family.

  • An Offer You Can't Refuse: She initially attempts to tie Kouhei to her by having sex with him, and threatening to kill herself if he refuses to go out with her.

Aeka: Go out with me. Or else.

Aeka: Feeling good...or feeling relieved...Kouhei-kun gave that all back to me. I always thought having one person like that would be enough.

Kirimiya Mizuki

"Emotions are a physical thing. Shouting feels good. So does shedding tears."

The Student Council President; a student in the year above Kouhei's. She and Kouhei first met when he had to get some papers from the student council room and found her trying out her dad's cigarettes, and during the game she decides to forcibly recruit him as a helper. If the player goes along with it, she eventually winds up having sex with Kouhei when her normal reward of choice, cake, isn't available. ("Well, don't they say that girls are made of sugar and spice?") From then on, her route is filled with forcing her duties onto Kouhei and sexually harassing him; it eventually becomes clear that Mizuki is hooked on pleasure-seeking behavior because she has no sense of her own future. During her route, she gets pregnant, which should not surprise anyone considering how much unprotected sex she and Kouhei have. Kouhei's family disapprove of her at first.

In her bad end, she dies from complications in childbirth, possibly a form of eclampsia. In her good end, she reunites with Kouhei just in time to have their baby on his bed, and the new family moves in with the Kagamis.

Kouhei: They're both crying because they've both been born.

Mizuki: I'll make her wish she was never born, for this.

  • Student Council President: Though she isn't keen on her role. She prefers shirking her duties because she feels that the role has been forced on her, and that it doesn't help her forget her fear of the future.


Cat Sidhe Nekoko (Sakurai Hiroko)

"A thank-you blessing from the fairy!"

A strange girl who Kouhei meets in the back alley behind the store he works at. She endears herself to him by begging for food, disrupting his life at every opportunity, and in her own route, dragging him along on her personal quest. She claims to be a fairy, and is searching for the "fairy world" armed with a cattle prod and a complete lack of common sense; Kouhei is annoyed and fascinated by her in turns. Eventually, though, it's revealed that Nekoko's weird manic energy comes from a Fantastic Drug she's addicted to, and Kouhei is left trying to find a way to make her stop taking it.

Nekoko is actually Hiroko, a cripplingly shy librarian at Kouhei's school, who turned to drugs out of desperation and loneliness. In her bad ending, she disappears and is never found; in her good ending, she becomes a theme park designer after accepting her identity as Hiroko, and reunites with Kouhei at the opening of her magnum opus, "Cat Sidhe Wonderland".

Kagami Aya

"Underneath that front of yours, you're really complicated."

Kouhei's adopted little sister, who he teases mercilessly (she teases him right back). She's the source of a few Author Filibuster rants, and tends to be very concerned for her brother's well-being. Out of the heroines, she only really approves of Aeka (at least at first).

After Kouhei plays an eroge featuring Brother-Sister Incest, he starts wondering if a Not Blood Siblings romance is possible between them. It isn't, but it REALLY confuses Aya when he brings it up!

Nanjou Kyoka (Antoinette)

"You look preoccupied. I'm really worried about you."

A popular girl in Kouhei's class. She seems to have the hots for him and is constantly asking him out, but he dislikes her attitude and mentally calls her Antoinette (after... well, guess). She controls most of the girls in the class, and directs them (and many of the guys) to bully Aeka, who she hates because her boyfriend hit on her. Kyoka acts very cutesy around Kouhei, but as the story progresses, she starts showing a very ugly side. When she's angry, she talks in the extremely-manly pidgin Japanese that changes the ii sounds at the end of words to ee, unusual for a female character.

In every route but Aeka's, she exits the story when the police call her in for questioning about Aeka's attempted suicide. In Aeka's route, though, she's the main villain; eventually she attacks Kouhei and Aeka and tries to get her boyfriend to rape Aeka, which backfires spectacularly when Kouhei manages to hold her hostage. They nearly strangle her to death, and then blackmail her into leaving them alone.

Tsubaki Hirofumi

"Way to go! You definitely got her scenario!"

Kouhei's sempai at work. Very, very, very gay and very VERY into Kouhei, although his flirting makes Kouhei nervous. Hirofumi also happens to be a devoted eroge (particularly Utsuge) otaku, which leads Kouhei to mentally nickname him "ero-gay". (This was changed to "gay puff" in Peach Princess' localization, since they translated "eroge" as "porn games", and the pun was lost.) He delivers a few Author Filibuster speeches, and advises Kouhei on his troubles in Aeka and Nekoko's routes.

He also manages to get Kouhei hooked on eroge himself.
