Side notes: This is my least followed genre with shoujo and I'm quite unfamiliar what's happening with josei... mainly 'cause the random mangas that I've picked up and started to read have been left on hold for undetermined time due of lack of interest. I'm really struggling to read josei although there are good stories I'm unable to pinpoint them.>.<
So as you might guessed this again one random jump after seeing a new name on the recently released chapter listing. And the reason to pick it up... the main protagonist looks like Shion (No 6), or Yashiro Isana (Silver King, K) or Killua Zoldyck (Hunter x Hunter)... or Bell Carnell (Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka) etc. XDD So I'm easy to take the bait. And the art, it just speaks to me... so it pretty good.^-^b About the plot... we can think about that later... at least everyone got pretty fast together.
Ewan Juno
Ewan Juno is the main character and narrator.
Ewan comes from Marle Island, supposedly the most rural place in the kingdom according to Messiah Reed.
He cares greatly for others, even if they are complete strangers, putting their life above his own. This is shown when Lawrence is strangling him on the scale and instead of fighting back, Ewan lets himself continue to be strangled knowing that if he moved, both he and Lawrence would die but if he stayed still only he would die, thus, minimizing the casualties.
He is shown to be extremely gullible and kind-hearted. He seems to have no care for his own life but once someone else's is in danger, he springs into action unhesitatingly.
Titus Ram/ Tilas Ram (タイタス⋅ラム)
Titus comes from the Rumen Territory. From a young age, Titus lived on the streets without a home. Until a girl named Ada taught him to steal and raised Titus acting the role of a big sister to him. He believed from a young age that the emperors and marquises of the world are powerless. Ada’s words to him as a young boy became his dreams and he strives to become the children’s emperor in Ada’s place.
Titus is an enthusiastic and somewhat careless person. He can be quite a flirt at times, especially to August Morgan and Zan Audupon. He also has a child-like side to his characteristic which helps him to get along well with Ewan Juno and play the role of a big brother to him. He wishes to attain the emperor’s position in Ada’s place with a responsibility of protecting the ones younger than him.
Despite his fun-loving and careless nature, Titus can be serious when the right situations come. He acts serious and short-tempered especially around Messiah Reed whom he greatly dislikes. Though he tends to act independently during the course of the labyrinth, he shows great care for the other candidates when the need arises.
