Kuroma

Kuroma, also known as Dark Mari, is the main antagonist and the embodiment of Mari Hatori's mental state. They are currently inactive as of episode 5.

Personality
Kuroma first began developing and taking shape before the beginning of the story, or in other terms, when Hikaru disappears. Kuroma is a dark, and negative being and the embodiment of Mari's depression. They feed off of negative emotions produced by Mari. They are an awful being who's main and only purpose is to make Mari feel as worse as humanly possible. In the beginning, Kuroma started off as weak, with their words having little to no effect on Mari. However, as years passed and Mari grew unable to live with herself, Kuroma became stronger and stronger, as they were feeding off of Mari's emotions.

Appearance
Kuroma takes the form of a humanoid figure resembling Hikaru Ishikawa, as they believed him to be a beneficial form to take in their search for power. They look similar to Hikaru, however, their skin is a very light grey almost white. Their hair and jacket are black that then fades into red. They wear a white t-shirt underneath their jacket, which appears to be a jersey. All of their "clothes" are actually a part of their body, as the clothing is a part of the form they took on.

The last time Kuroma appeared, they were missing their iconic black to red gradient present on their hair, jacket and pants. This was was due to the small amount of negative energy left as they couldn't feed themselves anymore because of Mari being happy.

Trivia
