Plot [edit]

A high school girl who one day awakens as a demon girl, tasked with defeating a magical girl. Her full demon girl title is "Shadow Mistress Yuko", often shortened into "Shamiko". Despite her ancestry, she is physically weak. In times of danger, she can transform into a Crisis Management form which slightly improves her abilities. As a succubus, she is capable to entering people's dreams while sleeping. She later inherits her father's wand, the "Whatchamacallit Rod", which can take the form of anything Yuko can envision as a stick or a weapon.

Voiced by: Tomoyo Takayanagi^[3] (Japanese); Christina Kelly^[4] (English)

A magical girl who came to the city to assist Momo, later transferring to Yuko's school to protect her. She is afflicted by a curse that causes others to experience calamities whenever she gets flustered, which is later revealed to be caused by the guardian Ugallu in an attempt to protect her.
