## Personality

Seishin is a junior monk within the town’s temple. He is polite, gentle, kind, and respectful to the people of Mysteria, as he always greets them and is more calm, composed and patient compared to Toshio Maeda, as he rarely gets angry. Though secretly, he holds s bleak view on life as in truth, he hated the village and finds that he could not escape, as people expect him to be a monk when he doesn’t want to. This enables him to open up and get along with Chizue and sometimes her triplets, whom he enjoys talking to and her company, even when he comes to know their true nature as akuma. It took him more time to accept the existence of the akuma than Toshio, but even after he did so, he doesn’t take a stance against them unlike him, as he was confused on what he should do and what he wanted to do. However, he had his own morals and sense of justice as he was horrified at the sight of a staked akuma and refuses to call killing “justice”, as it was no different from murder. It was after his father disappeared and became an akuma himself, that he decided to join the akuma and comforts and protects Chizue after Haru was killed due to her exposed secret and Tenshi “went to a better place”. After he became a tamashii, he is more violent and assertive as he killed someone to save Chizue.
