Maru (Heavenly Delusion)

Maru is the deuteragonist (alongside Kiruko) of the science-fiction adventurer manga and anime series, Heavenly Delusion. He is a determined young man on a quest to reach "Heaven" and reunite with a boy who bears a striking resemblance to him. Struggling with amnesia, he lacks a family name and remains unaware of his true origins. Kiruko describes him as a rare and captivating individual. Possessing remarkable physical prowess and a unique ability to eliminate man-eaters, which he refers to as "hiruko," Maru stands out among his peers. He was born a few months prior to the cataclysmic event known as "The Calamity" and begins his journey at the age of 15.

===Kiruko===
Maru falls in love with Kiruko shortly after they join forces. Despite knowing their complicated history, he harbors romantic feelings for her, acknowledging the exceptional bond they share. He often affectionately refers to her as "sis."
===Takezuka===
During their initial encounter, Maru and Takezuka engage in a fierce confrontation. It marks the first time Maru experiences defeat in battle. The following day, they engage in a grueling fight inside a warehouse, pushing their bodies to the limits of exhaustion. Both fighters declare the other as the victor, establishing a mutual respect. Maru becomes intrigued by Takezuka's use of the term "hiruko" to describe the man-eaters.
==History==
Maru's early years were marred by constant transfers between violent gangs. His memories of his parents remain nonexistent. Takezuka refers to him as a fellow "man-eater," although the true meaning behind this designation remains unclear.
