The Book of Heroes/YMMV


 * The Woobie: Almost all of the characters in the book. Special mention, however, must go to  Michiru. When she was three, she fell from the second-floor veranda of her house onto a gardening hoe, leaving a disfiguring scar on one side of her face and nearly blinding her. Her parents split up afterward because her father couldn't stand to look at her, which her mother blames her for. She's had skin grafts taken from her thigh and back and used for reconstructive surgery on her face, resulting in vicious teasing from the other girls in her class. And the only person who actually bothered to stand up for her, Hiroki,   disappeared. Jesus.
