Hanajima, Megumi

花島恵

Megumi and Saki share an extremely close bond. Megumi has consistently supported Saki, and upon learning of his sister's powers, he studied the art of curses to ensure she would not be the only "weird one" in the family, eventually mastering it. Both he and Saki prefer wearing black because they feel "calm" in that color. He joined Saki in her predicament so that she would not face her sufferings alone. Megumi's name serves as a subtle joke: while "Megumi" means "blessing," he himself studies how to place curses on people.
Megumi has never actually been seen using his power to curse anyone. When the Prince Yuki Fan Club attempted to weaken Tooru's defenses by identifying and exploiting Saki's weakness, Megumi joined his sister in scaring them away. His dark demeanor and his ability to "guess" the girls' names frightened them out of the house. The following day, Saki mentioned that the girls would all be cursed within three days. Although it seems possible for Megumi to do this, since he claimed he only needed the girls' names, the manga never shows what happens, so Saki could have been bluffing.
Like his sister, he is highly mature for his age, not only in intelligence and behavior but also in sexual maturity, as Arisa notes when he comments on visiting her restaurant only to see her in a miniskirt: "You know, you really don't act like a middle schooler; more like a lecherous old man." (This occurs only in the manga.) Megumi, for his part, has been called the trio's "bodyguard" and seems to consider himself as such, going through considerable trouble to aid Arisa and his sister in guarding Tooru. Megumi seems to admire her greatly and will do anything to help.
