Enju is one of the 10/10 lolis this season in the class with Shiro, Yoshino, and Chino, not much development yet but still one of the best of the season.

From what I've read on the episode discussions, Enju is a bit like marmite for the people here on MAL.

You either love her or hate her...

Which side of the fence are you on?

Personally myself, I really like her. I like her bubbly personality and her innocence. I have the feeling that with the type of anime this is shaping up to be that there will be a good bit of character development in store for her before the end.

Best loli in a good year or two in my own opinion.


You have to be joking. A 10 year old kissing a 16 year old (yes with sexual intent) and trying to sleep with him is innocent? Jesus, what 10 year olds have you been friends with.
I totally agree with that. She is PERVERTED. She wants him to be a pedophile! She wanted to take bath with him! Where's the innocence at this? Other reason why I dislike her is her stupidness. A gossip starts at her school that she's a cursed child, and she simply does not deny it!!! OMG! And about Nuvi's post up there, I think she's really gonna get in Kisara's way! It's implied she doesn't like her because of Rentaro. "looking at Kisara's boobs...", how she referred to her.


The anime didn't specify if it was a gossip/rumor, it would be more likely that she got an emotional reaction and couldnt handle it, thus her eyes turning red.

Actually, it was the masked guy who did it, or at least it was implied. He wanted to show Satomi that Enju's normal life was only a fragile deception.

Please, please tell me you're joking. PLEASE.

She reminds me of Kokonoe Rin (precocious loli) and Yaya from Unbreakable Machine Doll (adorable battle partner). I like adorable bad asses. I'd get psyched when seeing them in battle and when they're lovey-dovey, I can't help but want to hug them until they pop.

You stole my comment ಠ_ಠ Just finished KnJ, reading Kikou Shoujo atm. She's more like Rin than like Yaya imho, but you're right; first time I saw her acting like that I was like 'Hey, I've seen this somewhere" first and then "She most likely has some severe issues too". Second ep proved me right :p Anyway, like. Especially after the second episode.

for starters:
Like her: 239 - 92.64%
Dislike her: 19 - 7.36%

Now, let me state from the start that I honestly believe Shiro and Enju are on a league of their own!!

This being said, please let me explain my point: I'm a fan of loli's like Yoshino, Chino and so on, however Shiro and Enju are nothing more than adult loli's, small in body and age, however adults when it comes to the personality created for them.

Shiro for example is a cerebral genius kind of adult personality. Yes she is a kid, yes she depends on his brother (just like he depends on her despite being 16), however you can't deny that she thinks and analyzes things as a adult.

Enju on the other hand, is more like the brutish kind of personality. I believe most of us already saw many animes where a character is forced to grown by necessity and prioritizes strength over brains. Like them or not, he all have seen them before!!

If you think about the little we know about the cursed children, we can easily figure out how Enju had to grow. Abandoned when she was a child, forced to live in the slums, where life cannot be easy, despised by society, and yet, "captured" (dunno if they are captured or surrender willingly, however those collars with numbers let me believe they were captured) and forced to defend the society that only wishes to see them dead.

Enju is stupid, however not because she wants to. Enju it's stupid because as a 11 year old girl she was forced to fend for her life, however deep inside, she's still just a child, making all the stupid mistakes kids do.

Under this situation do you really believe a kid can allow herself to be a children?!?!?
Honestly if you think it's possible, then I pity you, since it proves you are nothing more than a dreamer!!

About the sexual part, well nothing that can be done really. Hormones are hormones, and although Enju's hormones aren't probably jumping around like crazy (normally they wouldn't, who knows if the virus has some other effects) Enju is a little girl. She sees Rentarou as a one in a million. He is caring, gives her attention and love, protects her, and so on.
Basically she sees him as the perfect mate for her, and the best way (in her inexperienced point of view) to "grab" him for ever is for sexual intercourse to happen.

All said and done, I believe from what I saw so far, Enju character is very well built, and personally, I love her!!

@DarkMoonWolf Enju isn't stupid. It just happens to be the fact that she has an idealistic personality and is often optimistic in a post-apocalyptic setting. Thus being said, she's also very emotionally fragile. If she gets sad, she does get sad quickly, as evident in episodes 2 and 3. Also note that it's expected for a 10 year old like Enju to have silly romantic fantasies with an older person like Rentaro (who treats Enju like a little sister to him). Note that the author wants readers and viewers to invoke pity for Enju due to the fact that she never really had a happy life locked up in a facility until Rentaro came along.

Thus being said, despite the hardships Enju had as well as her crush on Rentaro, Enju happens to be a "nice girl" at heart, in TV Tropes terms.

Enju is considered a loli by the way. That goes for the same with characters that are "older than they look" where they happen to be older (teens or adults), yet has an appearance of prepubescent girl (like Komoe-sensei from A Certain Magical Index).

When I said that Enju has stupid, I was using the exact same words that were used before on this thread. This was not meant as a offense, instead it was meant to be considered a personality feature, something unique to the image of the character created.

Let me make this very clear for you: Enju is a stupid 11 yrs old kid like all 11 yrs old kids are.
Damn, I was stupid(er) when I was 11 yrs old, and now that I'm over 30 I can still say that never once in my entire life, have I met a 11 yrs old who isn't stupid.
If somehow the word stupid makes you feel bad or offended, then please by all means feel free to replace it with "naive to the point of making basic mistakes".

With this point being cleared, let me once again say that I believe from what I saw so far, Enju character is very well built, and personally, I love her!! Best girl in this show!!

I like her... She's pretty cute and I love her character design.

Not so sure about the whole 'I love Rentaro' part, but then again that and all the other lolis are pretty much for the paedophile fanbase. I don't like that they try to sexualise young girls...

After episode 2 I just loved her. Serious Enju is best Enju. And she looks awesome when she fights.

Seriously, Enju needs to reassert herself as main girl. Rise above that b*tch Tina. I don't like Tina, she's stealing Enju's spotlight.

Copy and paste from episode 9 discussion but here. Added more during the end.

Not to be creepy, but have any of you guys ever read the book "The boy who was raised as a dog"? Fascinating clinical studies on child abuse, and how early stimuli and stigma influence the brain. The first case detailed a child named Tina*, who was about 6-8 years old* (not real name, but name listed in book to protect her identity and a coincidence to our beloved Tina Sprout) who was abused for 2 years by her mother's then boyfriend. She became expectant of sex from men, because that was all she knew men to be like.

Terrifying food for thought about the cursed children. Also not mentioned in the show (another skip), cursed children in other areas are used as sex slaves, fodder for the army, experimented on by the army (Tina), slave labor, and sold as items/entertainment like circuses/freak shows and servants. Actually in book two of the light novel, they skipped the scene of two slave workers escaping from the Varanium mines for the anime. One normal 13 year old boy, and a 10 year old cursed child girl. End from my post of Ep 9.


I've also mentioned before in this thread, Enju is not scared of gunfire. Actually, most of civil security isn't. But normal children are, and cursed children who don't fight are scared too. However, Enju was NEVER scared of gunfire, even before she came into Rentaro's care. Something was very, very, wrong with her childhood. So her behavior and unusual attachment to Rentaro is quite understandable. She modeled her behavior on what she learned from her short, harsh life ( as well as tv 18+ shows/anime she's seen in neighbor's houses when tv was left on lol, a wry jab by the author).

She's my cute little cinnamon roll! I'm not a lolicon(As much as I look and act like one)but Enju is such a great character.
I find her seducing Rentaro actually pretty funny but obviously, I don't ship them. I mean, my parents have a ten year difference so of course I'm fine with a 6 year difference.
I love her energetic personality and her role in the story. When she's upset, I generally feel sorry for her and when she's happy, I'm happy. Her design is brilliant and she's such a badass!
She's even better in the light novels :)
