[edit] Characters
- Lapan
Lapan is a Shinigami, literally translated as "Death God". Lapan is introduced as perverted, initially reading a porn magazine, and is severely disappointed when he must go to the human world as a skeleton since he will not be allowed to 'play' with a young female body like last time. However, due to a mishap, he instead possesses Alice's body instead of a skeleton. Because he broke one of the principle laws of the shinigami realm, that no shinigami may go to the human realm in his/her true form, all of his memories were erased as punishment.
- Alice
Alice is a sweet and attractive girl. She is always thinking about the well being of others. However, due to a mishap when Lapan came to the Human Realm, she ended up in the body arranged for him, a skeleton.
- Umenosuke Tsurukame
The third son of Tsurukame commercial affairs, he is introduced as a cocky, arragent and self-centered person. He believed that being a shinigami meant being a god.
