kawai maria
The protagonist of the story, Maria, possesses a cold personality that distances her from her classmates. She speaks her mind, though often too bluntly and harshly, even when her intentions are to help. Her arrogant demeanor and straightforward comments are why most people dislike her, and it appears she is indifferent to them. Throughout the manga, Maria demonstrates an ability to perceive the true natures or flaws of those around her. Despite her superior attitude, she deeply desires acceptance and friendship. Even knowing unpleasant outcomes, she frequently involves herself in difficult situations to prove herself to others. Everyone views her as a devil, unaware that they themselves might be the devils. She holds Kanda Yuusuke in high regard but harbors much stronger feelings for Meguro Shin, admitting that she feels closer to Shin than to God and fears being hated by him more. Eventually, she realizes she is in love with him. Maria enjoys nursery rhymes and hymns like "Amazing Grace." It's mentioned she was expelled for "punching the teacher/nun," though details are scarce; however, the cross she always wears is from that teacher/nun. She has a habit of pushing out her lips and half-closing her eyes when annoyed. It becomes evident that she starts to develop feelings for Meguro.
