Personality[]
A fun-loving, care-free boy with a ponytail who uses Babbo as his ÄRM. Ginta is a fourteen year-old boy as a 3rd year student in Japan. He has always had a daydreaming problem; falling asleep in class happens on a regular basis. Ginta's dreams are about a fantasy world in which he is the hero. On many occasions he tells Koyuki, the only person who believes that his dreams are real, about the dreams and how one day he will go to the place he sees when he's asleep. Many of his classmates and teachers pick on him for sleeping in class and Ginta often ends up getting beat up or running around the school as punishment.
Ginta's mother doesn't like to hear of his dreams because of his father who disappeared about six years ago. He had the same dreams as well and she is worried that Ginta will leave her. She writes fairy tales, or märchen, for a living. She also playfully beats Ginta up for playing too many video games and slacking off at school. He harbours a secret crush on Koyuki. Ginta has a very loyal personality and fights to protect those who need help; he prefers to avoid killing if it able.
Relationships include his inferred crush on Snow, and a constant tolerance with Dorothy.
