Mikaela Hyakuya



Mikaela Hyakuya is the deuteragonist of Seraph of the End. He is one of the first characters introduced in the series and plays an extremely major role in the plot.

He is the best friend of the protagonist, Yuichiro, who he meets at the age of 8 when Yuichiro ends up at the same orphanage as him. They soon become best friends since they are the same age, but almost immedietly after Yuichiro arrives at the orphanage a virus spreads and the world population goes down by 90%. All the remaining children in Japan are brought to a vampire city where Mikaela, Yuichiro, and the rest of the orphanage kids stick together for the next 4 years. In the light novel, The Story of Vampire Michaela, which takes place 4 years after the virus when both Mikaela and Yuichiro are 12, Mikaela's thoughts show that he is very fond of Yuichiro and his kindness.

They end up being separated at the age of 12, and Mikaela is turned into a vampire. A flashback in the manga that Krul Tepes (the vampire that turned Mikaela) has shows that Mikaela was extremely determined to find and rescue Yuichiro while they were separated. This is also briefly shown in The Story of Vampire Michaela. While they were separated, Mikaela resists all urges to drink human blood because he is afraid that when he finds Yuichiro again he will see him as a monster if he becomes a full vampire. However when they meet again, Yuichiro pressures him into drinking his blood because he doesn't want Mikaela to die after they finally found eachother again.

In the time that they are finally reunited again, Mikaela is still shown to be reckless when it comes to Yuichiro. When Yuichiro is in trouble he doesn't hesitate to jump right into battle. Though becoming a full vampire caused him to lose most of his human emotions, he states that even though his emotions were going away quickly his feelings for Yuichiro had not changed at all. Later, it is revealed that he was in love with Yuichiro when he sacrifices his own life for him. When his transformation into a demon happens, he has a dream in the demon world where it is shown that his main desire is to be with Yuichiro forever.

Because of his feelings for the protagonist, it is clear that he is queer in some way however his exact sexuality is unspecified because he does not show interest in anyone else in the series.
