Kisara (キサラ), is one of the two main heroines of the anime series Engage Kiss. A powerful demon of unknown origin, Kisara has lived for several centuries, though she typically presents herself in the form of a teenage high school girl. She is bound by a contract with Shu Ogata, the male protagonist, and acts as both his demon-hunting partner and steadfast supporter. In Bayron City, where the story is set, Kisara is notably the only known demon actively fighting against other demons, maintaining a unique role as both a protector and a supernatural anomaly.
Despite her fearsome powers, Kisara maintains a double life, attending high school to blend in with humans, while secretly working with Shu to eliminate dangerous demons. Her true identity is known only to a select few, and she often lives with Shu in his modest apartment, which also serves as their base of operations.
Background

Appearance in anime
Kisara’s origins remain shrouded in mystery. She is an ancient demon, sealed in an unknown cave on a snowy mountain until discovered and released by Shu Ogata, a struggling private contractor who specializes in handling demon-related incidents. Upon forming a pact with Shu, Kisara entered into a contractual relationship in which she lends her immense power to help him fight demons at the cost of feeding on certain aspects of his memories and emotions.
Although she initially acted out of necessity, Kisara gradually forms a close bond with Shu, becoming both his most trusted ally and emotional support system. Her demonic nature contrasts with her loyalty and affection, as she willingly integrates into Shu’s life not just as a partner in combat, but as a friend, rival, and romantic interest.
Appearance
Kisara typically appears in her human form as a beautiful teenage girl with long pink hair, bright red eyes, and a youthful, petite frame. She often wears a Bayron City High School uniform, allowing her to pass as an ordinary student while maintaining her cover. Her expressions range from mischievous and teasing to protective and serious, depending on her emotional state and the danger at hand.
When unleashing her true demon powers, Kisara’s appearance becomes more intense her eyes glow with supernatural energy, and her fighting style takes on a more graceful yet deadly form, reflecting her centuries of battle experience.
Personality
Kisara is devoted, cunning, and emotionally complex. While she displays a bubbly and teasing demeanor in daily life, particularly around Shu, she harbors deep feelings of possessiveness and protectiveness. She often acts like a jealous girlfriend, especially around Shu’s ex-girlfriend Ayano Yugiri, yet her actions come from a place of genuine care and loyalty.
Despite being a demon, Kisara shows remarkable empathy and humanity, often placing herself in danger to protect Shu and innocents. She is also blunt and bold, unafraid to speak her mind or take drastic actions when necessary. Her emotions are deeply tied to her powers, and her bond with Shu strengthens or weakens her abilities depending on their connection.
