OVA
Description
Sakura Kusakabe is a 13 to 14-year-old second-year junior high student whose mundane life shatters when Dokuro Mitsukai, an angelic assassin from the future, appears. His predetermined invention of technology halting female aging at twelve—accidentally granting immortality and incurring divine wrath—prompted her mission. Though initially sent to kill him and prevent this future, Dokuro spares Sakura, believing his current innocence merits protection and redemption.
This decision traps Sakura in relentless violence. Dokuro brutally kills him with her spiked club, Excalibolg, over perceived slights—often accidental acts of minor perversion or inconvenience. She resurrects him using the chant "Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi," but he remains conscious during dismemberment and death, enduring repeated physical and psychological agony. This cycle cements his status as a perpetual victim.
His relationships are fraught. Schoolmates brand him a pedophile out of jealousy for the attention he receives from Dokuro and her younger sister Zakuro. He holds a longstanding crush on classmate Shizuki Minakami, one of the few who sees his good nature and refuses to condemn him. Yet Dokuro consistently sabotages his attempts to pursue Shizuki or find normalcy. Despite Dokuro’s violence, Sakura develops conflicted romantic feelings toward her, straining his attachment to Shizuki.
Another angel, Sabato Mihashigo, persists in attempts to assassinate him permanently per her original mission. Sakura responds with persistent kindness, even feeding Sabato after she becomes homeless—partly motivated by a desire to end his own suffering through death.
In the second season, his existence intensifies as Zakuro joins their household. Sakura navigates Dokuro’s unpredictable assaults, Sabato’s relentless attacks, and the chaos of cohabiting with the angel sisters. Though occasionally defiant or frustrated, he remains largely passive—an unlucky everyman enduring celestial turmoil. His character embodies the struggle between his innate kindness, horror at his future self’s actions, and the absurd suffering defining his present.
