!!Imari Sekiguchi
A very high-spirited high school girl whose goal in life is to catch Sawamura's heart ever since she met him. Very honest and brutal, she scares lots of people but she's really nice. As long as you don't step in-between she and Sawamura. Because of her ties both with Sawamura and her love rival Amanae, she gets entangled in a case of serial murder of Blade Children and ends up helping Kousuke in his investigating. Well. "Helping"...

!!Yukine Amanae [[spoiler:a.k.a. Charlotte]]
A beautiful, even-tempered girl and Sawamura's girlfriend. At the beginning of the manga, she murders a string of unregistered Blade Children to attract Kiyotaka's attention. Her motives are unknown.
Her parents were scientists affiliated to the Blade Children project, but her entire family died in a fire 9 years prior to the manga. [[spoiler: Her parents were apparently killed by her younger adopted sister, Charlotte, one of the Blade Children, who was five at the time. Amanae seems to believe doctor Sheffield intentionally had her "switch" pressed and seek revenge for her family and little sister.]]
But... [[spoiler: the Amanae we know is actually Charlotte, seeking revenge for ''Yukine''.]]

!!Shirou Sawamura
A high-school boy with a cute face, sunny personality and very strong sense of justice. He seems to admire Kiyotaka and wants to "catch up to his level".
He and Amanae are dating, but when he discovers her crimes he hands her over to the police - but still tries to "save her" from herself.
When he was younger, [[spoiler: he was taken hostage by a criminal woman (probably a Hunter who had just killed a handful of very young Blade Children) and suffered a mild version of Stockholm Syndrome. Kiyotaka waltzed in and told the woman that everything was alright and she could die now - whereupon she thanked him and committed suicide. Sawamura was shocked and believes she could have been saved; he wants to understand Kiyotaka to know if that was really the best course of action even for the woman herself, as Kiyotaka later told him. Since she looked a lot similar to Amanae, Sawamura now wants to make up for not having been able to save that woman by saving Amanae.]]

%% Her parents were scientists affiliated to the Blade Children project, but her entire family died in a fire 9 years prior to the manga. [[spoiler: Her parents were apparently killed by her younger adopted sister, Charlotte, one of the Blade Children, who was five at the time. Amanae seems to believe doctor Sheffield intentionally had her "switch" pressed and seek revenge for her family and little sister.]]

%% A high-school boy with a cute face, sunny personality and very strong sense of justice. He seems to admire Kiyotaka and wants to "catch up to his level".
%% He and Amanae are dating, but when he discovers her crimes he hands her over to the police - but still tries to "save her" from herself.
%% When he was younger, [[spoiler: he was taken hostage by a criminal woman (probably a Hunter who had just killed a handful of very young Blade Children) and suffered a mild version of Stockholm Syndrome. Kiyotaka waltzed in and told the woman that everything was alright and she could die now - whereupon she thanked him and committed suicide. Sawamura was shocked and believes she could have been saved; he wants to understand Kiyotaka to know if that was really the best course of action even for the woman herself, as Kiyotaka later told him. Since she looked a lot similar to Amanae, Sawamura now wants to make up for not having been able to save that woman by saving Amanae.]]
