Character OverviewEdit

Shiori Shiomiya (汐宮栞 Shiomiya Shiori) is a very shy and reticent 17 year old bibliophile from Majima Academy and the fourth capture target in the series. In addition, she is confirmed to be the holder of the goddess, Minerva.

PersonalityEdit

She doesn't speak to people because she's afraid to speak against them. When she does talk to a person, she often accidentally fuses the words from the books that she has in her hands with the words she's about to say. An example would be trying to say thank you to Keima but ends up saying Thankonomics as she was holding an Economics book in her hands.

Since her youth, she was not able to speak with other people. Also, she becomes very upset when people disrespect the library by disturbing others, or make fun of books or even doodle them (like Keima had) to the point where she actually tells them to stop in a loud voice, although she still apologizes soon after for doing so. Her friends have been claiming that she's weird, which makes Shiori more shy. It is shown that Shiori sleeps with books at night.

Shiori's devotion to books is immense, to the point that she does not use any sort of library index to find books. Instead, she is able to find them as she had read and remembered every single book in the library. She appears to be very shy and easily embarrassed, contemplating her actions to such a degree that she often makes elementary speech mistakes. She has the utmost respect for books and considers them the highest form of art.

AppearanceEdit

Shiori wears usually the Maijima High uniform. At home though, Shiori wears a white shirt with a sweater over it. She also wears a lower-thigh long skirt with knee-length tights under. She is always seen with small ribbons on the side of her head.

She has dark straight hair that goes to her shoulders with ribbons on the side. She has light tanned skin with light grey eyes with a darkish outline.

Shiori's height is that of a very petite person. She is, or course, shorter than Keima and a fair amount of other characters.

AbilitiesEdit

MemoryEdit

Shiori has excellent reading and memory skills, demonstrated when she reads and remembers every single book in the library. She is also able to help locate books in the library for other students.

She is also competent enough to write novels although when writing stories, Shiori has a tendency to unconsciously incorporate sci-fi/war elements into them.

Communication SkillsEdit

It is demonstrated later that she is capable of talking to other people, but has yet to learn how to pause and take a breath when speaking. It is often long-winded, and so, she passes out when making speeches, especially in the committee. Despite these changes, she often seems unable to talk to Keima.

BackgroundEdit

Since her childhood she was not able to speak properly.

This means that she always over-thinking things and would say things which are irrelevant or on the previous topic. She takes too long to think and does not pay attention to the conversation at hand. When she broke a vase by accident, she was not able to tell the teacher the reason - due to her problem of communication - and her classmates were already blaming her. When she came late for their piano lesson, she worries about how she will enter the room and what she would do if the teacher got mad at her for interrupting. After over thinking things, even with the right opportunity, she still did not manage to gain enough courage to go in. Instead, she decides to wander around, and eventually found the library. When she entered, she soon discovering her love for books and becomes the bibliophile she is currently.

Character HistoryEdit

Library ArcEdit

Shiori was first shown to enjoy reading her novel peacefully as Elsie tried to talk to her, but she was too immersed in the novel to notice. After she was done reading, Elsie called out to her again, and this greatly shocked her.

Shiori then accidentally used an Older Dialect from the novel and was greatly embarrassed by this. Elsie then asked Shiori if there are any books regarding on Firetrucks as Shiori kept silent and told Elsie to come back after school.

Then, Elsie's sensor reacted as Shiori tries to tell Elsie to keep quiet. After school, Shiori came to Elsie with a cart full of books relating to firetrucks, all 458 of them. Keima then said how this place has a wide search range of books as Shiori tries to tell Keima that she merely memorized all of the books but did not manage to say it.

Shiori then tries to think if she's over-doing things and wonders if she should tell Keima, but believes that she's lost her chance to talk with Keima and left. Shiori then said to herself that she knew she was not able to have good communication skills and said that as long as she has books, she will be fine.

During lunch time the next day, Shiori was called to throw away some books as she thinks that some of them will be sold, some will go to other libraries and some will be culled. Shiori was upset about this idea as she tried to pick up a particulary heavy book and fell back, only to lean on Keima.

Shiori blushed and quickly move away and noticed that Keima is the person she saw before and wondered why Keima helped her. Shiori then thinks that it's because of kindness. Shiori then tried to thank Keima but said "Thankonomics" instead. She then blushed after realizing what she had done.

Keima then said how books are useless and it would be better if the books were scanned and stored in computers. Shiori, unable to take Keima's negative responses to books, came up to him and scolded him, calling him an idiot. However, after that, Shiori became even more embarrassed and left.

At her place, Shiori regretted scolding Keima and began to recall her past, how she was though to be weird when she could not speak up and ultimately decided to stay in her world of books and does not need to merge with other people.

Sometime later, Shiori was in a meeting with the Library commitee as Fujiidera announced that there will be an audio booth in the library. Shiori wanted to protest but was too shy to do it. As she was walking, Shiori believed that it would be better if people could wait for her and wished her ancestors to just have created telepathy instead of conversations.

To her horror, Shiori saw Keima scribbling on a book and grabbed it away. Elsie also repremanded Keima as Keima said that the author's dates and information were all wrong and if a book has wrong information, it is useless. Shiori then calls Keima a moron and left again.

The next day, Shiori saw Keima scribbling on another book again and grabs it. This time, Keima said that the book was his as Shiori was shocked and returned it to him. Shiori then wondered why is this always happening and she eventually let out, telling Keima that he is disturbing the peace of the library and told him not to come here again.

This, however, does not keep Keima from doing the opposite as Shiori saw Keima again. Shiori then said to herself that Keima did not listen to her as Keima said that Shiori is finally talking normally as Shiori realized that the power of anger is really scary.

Later, Keima commented on the tranquility of the library and both he and Shiori exchanged their names as Shiori left afterwards. However, later, when Shiori was notified from a notice that 3000 books are to be culled and to be replaced for the audio-visual format, she tore the paper to pieces and left.

Shiori bought some good luck charms later and locked the library doors, while writing a notice, telling the people that she is opposing the new system of culling away the books. At her place, Shiori had books all around her for fortification and was determined to fight.

Shiori was soon scared by Fujiidera's anger and turned around, and saw Keima. Keima then told Shiori that he'll support her as Shiori decided that she can at least talk to Keima better. Shiori offered Keima something to drink and she was getting awkward to see Keima's anti-social behavior.

Fujiidera then managed to cut out the powersupply as Shiori got scared and hugged onto Keima. The books then goes tumbling down and crushed the both of them as Keima said that he wanted to be left alone in peace. Shiori agrees and told Keima that she wanted to stay inside the library as Keima said that what she said is a lie.

Keima explained to Shiori that she was merely fearful of miscommunication and told Shiori that she didn't want to protect books. She merely wanted to protect her insecurities as Shiori realized this but she believed that it is too late now and her voice will never come out.

Keima then grabbed Shiori out, telling her that he will give Shiori the courage she needs and kissed her, releasing the runaway spirit from her. Finally having the courage to speak her mind, Shiori voiced her objections to the committee's decision to throw away a large amount of books in favor of an audio-visual format as Fujiidera agreed. However, Shiori seemed to have recalled something she could not remember as Keima and Elsie lay down on the library rooftop.

Old Conquest ArcEdit

During the Old Conquest Arc, Shiori returns on the second day of the goddess search. She is seen to be able to talk freely with the people, giving the locations of books in the library to the students and helping with borrowing books. Despite all of this, Shiori avoids interacting with Keima. Though he tries to find ways to do so, she pulls a book in front of her face as if she was reading it. Fujiidera appears and talks to Shiori about Shiori's light novel. As the two are talking, Keima realizes that Shiori knows about the rumor of Kanon and him after seeing a pile of magazines of Kanon behind the information desk. Keima leaves the scene without the two librarians noticing.

The third day of the goddess search. After Keima had finished his developments (with Ayumi, Tsukiyo and Chihiro), Keima heads to the library. Inside, Keima sees that Shiori is writing a story, but appears to be stuck. Keima asks Haqua to make a sound on the upper floors. When she does, Shiori decides to check on the sound. As Shiori is gone, Keima approaches the notebook she was writing in. When he reads it, he sees a story that is quite similar to the Shiori arc, except for the fact that Keima's role and Shiori's role are swapped and in a sci-fi setting. Towards the end of the story, it even shows the death of 'Keima'. Shiori returns while Keima is reading this section and she swipes the notebook from his hands. Keima tells Shiori that he had added a bit at the end. She takes a look, only to she that Keima had revived himself in the story. Shiori once again writes down that Keima dies from another incident, but he writes back that he revives. Shiori finally gets upset that Keima keeps reviving himself. Keima writes down that he wants to continue being with her. Embarrassed by this, Shiori cleans up and leaves.

Day four arrived, and Keima once again visits the library. Shiori is there, showing signs that Keima can read the notebook. This time, however, the setting has changed to the medieval era, and Keima is now the antagonist. Seeing that it will be pointless to try and side with Shiori in the story, Keima wishes to chose the path to cooperate with her novel. Though he does not like the novel, he tells Shiori that the story is great. Hearing this, she hands him a piece of paper to him and leaves. Keima checks what is on the paper. What is written is "From now on, please read my stories."

Inside the library, in a story narration fashion, Shiori introduces herself as she sits in her usual seat. She then states that she is possessed by an absurdly great strangeness which she cannot understand, and one that stays with her without leaving for even a moment. Fujiidera calls out to her, and Shiori shakes in alertness, hitting her knee against the desk she is in. Fujiidera asks if Shiori is finished, but she responds that she is almost done. Not satisfied with "almost", Fujiidera tells Shiori that she only has till the day after tomorrow to finish, or else she cannot submit her work.

Fujiidera leaves, and Shiori's narration returns. She now says that she is beginning to understand what the strangeness could be. She thinks that it could be love. Yet again, she is interrupted by a student who wishes to borrow a book. As she takes care of the student's request, she goes to narrating, saying her assumption that the strangeness is love is only a "maybe". Throughout her whole life, she never took notice that love could take shape. Though she always read about it, the love she is experiencing right now is not the sweet and charming love she saw portrayed in books. Instead, the one she loves is of the very opposite.

She talks about how evil and horrible that "thing" - Keima - is. How that thing interfered with her novel. How that "thing" embraced another man. How that "thing" laughed gaudily while dressed in girl's clothes. Even with all of this, Shiori still recognizes that the same "thing" even with all of those factors, was the same person who saved her while she was confined in the library. She wonders what sort of person is like that. She is even amazed that her first encounter with a male was with a disgusting, perverted, cross-dressing man, while she is supposed be a bookworm with no confidence with interpersonal communication.

She goes to reading, and as she does, she starts to state in anger that Keima did not keep his promise. Even though he said he would return, Keima did not come the day before, to Shiori's disappointment. She then remembers that she shared a kiss with him, but nothing else recollects. She wonders why she forgot about such momentous occasions, such as her first kiss. Then Shiori hears some rustling sounds from a nearby bookshelf. There is a small girl with a halo, wearing the school uniform's shirt, holding a book. Shiori knows this little girl, for the girl seems to have been around on a few occasion before. Shiori goes to approach the girl, but as she goes to the bookshelf which the girl hid behind, the girl is gone.

Shiori is now in front of Keima's class, Class 2-B. She tries to come up with a reason why she wishes to meet Keima, when Mobuko appears and is about to enter the class. Shiori stops her, trying to ask her if Keima is in the room. Mobuko goes in to check, but comes later to say that he is not present. When she does, Shiori is no longer in front of the classroom. Shiori heads back to the library, thinking that she does not need to meet Keima. She feels that he had no interesting in her from the start, thinking he only wished to make a simple pass at her because they talked a bit.

She realizes that if she tries to write the novel she was trying to write, or walk outside in the open, a library-person like her would only receive broken bones. She feels it is great progress to notice such things, for now she can return to her normal life. As she enters, at one of the tables, a still cross-dressed Keima is sitting. Shiori stares at him, feeling a strangeness that she does not comprehend.

Shiori finally encounters face-to-face with the cross-dressing person she does not wish to meet the most, Keima. She tries to escape from him, but is stopped when he calls out to her. He states that he has come to read Shiori's story further, as he did not do so the previous day. Before Shiori could answer, Fujiidera approaches her from behind. Through instinct, Shiori stands between Keima and the chairwoman to prevent the chairwoman from seeing him. Soon after talking with Shiori, the chairwoman walks away. Shiori turns around to find Keima now wearing the wig.

At first, Shiori sees that Keima looks rather cute, but realizes that she should tell him to get out. She tries to, but her words changes into the question "Do you like cross-dressing?". She feels that she should be more open-minded and find out Keima's reason for cross-dressing. When she asks, Keima starts talk about absurdity and things that are beyond reason, saying a devil had employed him to do this. As he continues to talk, the conversation becomes less and less understandable for Shiori. Above the two, sitting on top of the bookshelves, is the same small girl from before, holding a book in her hand.

Finishing his explanation, Keima is about to leave when Shiori starts to talk about how many books are about the same subject he was talking about. Before she could continue any further, the bell chimes as it becomes 6pm, announcing the closing of the library. Shiori wants to talk more outside, to which Keima suggests they should go home together as they talk. Flustered by this response, Keima decides to take of his wig, thinking it would be better. Shiori quickly puts the wig back, saying the cross-dressed form is better.

The two are walking in the town. Shiori is thinking where to go to, not knowing anywhere else than the bookstore. Out of desperation, Shiori asks Keima into a ramen shop. As they enter, they are greeted enthusiastically, which creeps the both of them out. Inside, Shiori wonders what she should do when she needs to order her meal. Keima then asks Shiori which meal ticket she wants, which proves that she does not need to speak at all. As they eat, Shiori wonders about the atmosphere she is in. Her first meal with a boy is ramen, which is disgraceful for a maiden by her standards. Along with this, she also thinks that it is a disgrace that a man is cross-dressing. Seeing 'this man' as a unique character that has never been seen in any of the books she has read, Shiori asks if she can write her story about Keima. He agrees, and she is thankful to hear this. Shiori tells Keima to meet her after school the next day, and then heads home.

As Keima leaves the ramen shop, Haqua appears, asking if this route is fine. Having already determined that his strange presence has once again given Shiori her self-confidence, Keima states that the novel will be completed barely before the Maijima Fest and her love points will be at the maximum. At long last, he can now see the ending, as it has been a while since he has.

The next day, Keima arrives at the library to meet Shiori. She is sitting at a seat, as usual with balls of crumpled paper around her. She asks Keima for a bit more time, but Keima wishes to see it. At first, Shiori keeps hold of the notebook, but Keima is able to get it out of her hands. As he looks inside it, he is astounded that it is all white. Nothing has been written at all. "Just a little longer!? It's blank! What are you going to do, Shiori-sensei!?" Keima shouts out to Shiori.

While drinking tea and eating her sweets, Shiori is already busy, trying to finish writing her story. She is behind schedule, and she now realizes the true terror of being a writer. Fujiidera saw that Shiori would be able to make an amazing story, since Shiori is known for being Mai-High's legendary book lover, or bibliomaniac. Shiori was hurt by this, for she felt being called anything with "-maniac" is insulting. She felt that she could write better than an amateur writer because of the amount of books she read, but she still does not have anything written down, even though the story is due in two days. She continues to worry about the deadline, submitting to the use of the perverted-man Keima as the main idea, as this theme is quite intense and unique.

Shiori starts on the beginning, as all historical masterpieces are all interesting from the very beginning. She also thinks back on the words of someone that if the ending the ending is unclear, it is because of the beginning. At first, the intros that Shiori for the story are very simple, saying "There was a man. He said his name was Katsuragi." or "I am a cross-dressing man. The name's Katsuragi.". Feeling she needs to make it more original and interesting, she accidentally creates a sci-fi opening, creating galactic warfare in the plot.

She continues to create mistakes, until she creates one centered around the main character. "Katsuragi was a mysterious man. By any standards he was an oddball... had no honor ...and a mean look in his eyes...and to top it off, he was a cross-dresser!" To her surprise, this opening is to her liking, for only a few books followed this style. She wonders if she should have added more, but just by adding a simple pet cat, she brings in the same galactic warfare plot in. Shiori feels now that her grand knowledge of books may be bringing her down, as she always feels that someone else has already written the plot lines she is currently trying to write.

Looking back on this, she regrets the fact that she wanted to write a novel. Even though she wants to write about Keima, she only knows so little about him. She wants to call him, but she does not have his number nor the confidence. Then she thinks about using the phone to search through the net, just like any other kid might do. But when she looks through the net, rumors about Keima and Kanon is already flooding the pages. Seeing this, Shiori feels technology is not for her.

Again, she thinks about the "man" who approached Keima before. But when she thinks logically, Shiori feels that everything that has happened, such as Keima cross-dressing, him going out with the top idol and this other man trying to get close to Keima, could have all been a delusion. By doing this, she also feels that the kiss with Keima could have also been a delusion. Curious about this, she wonders if she should ask him directly, but feels that she might feel too embarrassed if she was in the wrong. She thought Keima could be one of her muses, but he is more of a 'messenger from Hell'.

Shiori feels like sleeping, but the time is now 2 am. She has no time and should be working on her novel. She thinks that studying books of the same subject may help, but she gets carried away and reads unrelated books for an hour and half. Seeing this, she tries to put the books away, but again she finds a book of interest and eats up another hour and a half. Feeling like an idiot, she wonders what she should do now that it is 5 am. The library opens in four hours and she is sure Keima will be there then. She wonders why it is getting more difficult to write the more she tries.

Shiori thinks if she is useless at the moment, why not just stop writing. Instead of writing useless works and showing them to Keima, she feels she should write a more compelling story and show him next time. She wants to tell Keima "I can't see you today." then again, she has no means of communication with him. But she thinks back again, thinking that now is the time to work. She has never felt this restlessness or nervousness before, the true essence of being a writer. This was what she was waiting for. She now calls upon the god of literature to help her.....

The next day, she presents blank pages to Keima. She asks for one hour to complete the novel, but Keima lashes back on how short is her novel going to be if it only needs one hour. Keima notices that Shiori has indeed been working, for pages of the notebook have been ripped out. Keima calls out to Shiori, telling her that they will use the remaining time of the day to finish the story, because it is indeed a national holiday. He will stay with her in the library until she is done.

Shiori wonders why she even wanted to write a story. She feels that she wants to strangle her past self. The romantic man-and-woman atmosphere has now changed into that of a guard with a prisoner. Though she cannot see how it became like this, she has no choice but to write something that is not useless.

Keima excuses himself, leaving Shiori alone so he can meet Haqua elsewhere in the library, waiting. When they meet, Haqua asks if the plan to "hole up" would be effective, but he answers that it is indeed not an easy task. He sees that Shiori would not try writing unless she had a brilliant idea, which shows she indeed did. Even so, Keima predicts that Shiori might just wait until the time is up, or in other words, run away from this problem. This plan to "hole up" is Keima's way of preventing the escape. Though it may seem impossible to make a masterpiece for a debut novel, Keima see that this is the only solution to make Shiori write.

Haqua suggests that he should write the novel instead, and opens a window. Keima asks where she is heading off to. She replies that she has to go to a meeting to report as a district chief. Keima asks when will she return, to which Haqua asks playfully if he wants to be quick with it. But because of the recent matters, she believes the meeting will not be short. She warns Keima not to over do himself, but he answers unpleasantly that he is tired because the devils are making him work.

Keima returns to the seat nearby Shiori and starts reading a book. Shiori thinks about what she should do, worrying about this and that, until a voice tells her, "Stop thinking and write". Shiori looks up to see Kashiragi, but when she looks more carefully, she sees that Keima is asleep. Shiori sits down, confused, until she hears the same voice again, this time saying, "What an indecisive girl you are!" Again, it is Kashiragi, but this time, he continues to talk, stating that Shiori has not even started even though the story is due the next day. He continues to talk, which annoys Shiori, because she is indeed trying her best. She blames Kashiragi for not moving within her story, but he answers back that it is not his fault, but the writer's ability. Shiori was the one who wanted to write, and he holds no responsibility for it.

Looking back on the past, she sees that she has changed. She used to be a silent bookworm, but now people see that she is a cheerful, though silent person. Kashiragi asks why she started writing books, when she was already happy with reading them. He asks if it was for someone, but Shiori stumbles to answer this. She had this feeling inside that has been making her heart throb more and more. This feeling became so great, she had to do something. She started writing, thinking that this feeling would diminish if she tried using the power of writing she thought she had. But she was wrong...

Keima suddenly tells her the same thing Kashiragi told her earlier: "Stop thinking and write". He starts to say that she can write a more interesting story than anyone else, but Shiori knows it is easier said than done. But Keima continues to press on, saying that it is easy. He proposes to her that she should write a story about Shiori. He wants to read a story written by her, about a girl who loves books, who has always lived in the library. A girl who clumsy at socializing and once barricaded herself in the library. Hearing this, Shiori is flustered, saying that such a story is dull. She walks away into the depths of the library.

She looks back on the words Keima said. Shiori now remembers that it was Keima who was with her during that night. The night she barricaded the library to protect her books. She then hears footsteps and looks behind her, only to see the same child from before. The little child asks if Shiori can now write the story and then runs off. Shiori is confused by what just happened, but when she returns to where she was writing her story, she does not see Keima in sight.

Shiori looks around, but Keima is not in sight. She even calls out his name, but there is no answer. she sits down, somehow able to start writing. As she starts to write her story, tears falls from her eyes...

After a while, Shiori finally finished some parts of her novel. Her novel title is "About me", which from Shiori's point of view. At first, the titles of many books is shown, with comments about each, whether it was easy or difficult to read. Then she states how she loves to read books even sometimes the stories are disappointing. Onto the next subject, the story talks about the large house that is filled with these beloved books: the library. For her, it is the place where knowledge dwells, the time of people lives and their imagination compiled into an accessible format. There is no other place like this to her.

At this library, Shiori states that her comrades are also here. Fujiidera-san, the chairwoman, who nags, but is truly kind. Miwa-chan, an underclassman who loves music. Uwai-kun who is in love with Miwa, who should read more books. The library is not so bad, as it is the place where people's ideas and thoughts are conveyed. Books is like oxygen and they expand the world around Shiori to almost anywhere. At the end of her story, what is written is "And, I love Katsuragi-kun.".

Keima is a bit intrigued by the story. Then, Shiori 'awakes' and lifts her head, but when she does so, she shines. She has turned into the same book holding girl, and it seems that Shiori has switched bodies with this goddess. As the goddess is in confusion, Keima asks if this girl is a goddess. The goddess is indeed startled by this, and covers her face. She states that she shouldn't talk to strangers as Apollo told her to. Keima tries to talk further, but the goddess drops her head onto the table, returning back to Shiori.

Shiori then wakes, but is surprised that Keima is in front of her. Keima states that Shiori's novel is complete. In confusion, Shiori says it's only a monologue, talking about the story within. He then states that he loves this story out of all her stories, making her blush. He continues to talk about how she is the only who could have written the story. Shiori realizes that Keima had read to the end. She jumps towards Keima, stating the last part, about her saying "I love Katsuragi-kun", is a lie. She only wrote that because she felt Keima would never return. But then, Keima kisses Shiori in the cheek, saying he will not go anywhere. "The story of of Shiori and me....isn't over yet! It must be...continued!!"

These words makes her puzzled, as it seems like a confession. As Keima states that school is about to start, Shiori questions in her mind if the rumors about Kanon and the boy she's dating was nothing related. He gives Shiori the same tag he gave Vulcan and Mars, making her feel it's a present. Saying it's only a bracelet, Keima asks her to put it on, which is obvious to Shiori. She wonders if the kiss she received was enough of an answer to her story. Before leaving, Keima asks if he can come to the library everyday, saying that he wants to see Shiori everyday. This makes Shiori blush and Keima then leaves. Seeing Keima leave, Shiori feels sad that she is silent. In her mind, she tells herself that the day may never come that she would express her feelings. As she goes to sit in a chair, she sees in front of her, on top the table, a little girl who states that her name is Minerva. Shiori ignores what the little goddess has to say and rest her head on the table. She feels that she won't be able to talk to anyone else in the current situation, but she may have finally found her voice. She tells herself that she needs to finish the novel.

At that moment, wings grow on her back, and Keima was still in the library in order to confirm this. He finally leaves.

Later, during the eve of the Mai-High festival, Shiori along with Fujidera are trying to help the Literature club due to the fact that she handed in her manuscript late. Shiori saw Keima looking at the a poster for the festival's campfire, before the latter retreats in a peculiar fashion that disturbs her.

Later, Shiori (while sleeping) is brought to Keima's house and back, without knowing anything about the commission of the Jupiter sisters. Later, during the eve of the Mai-High festival, Fujidera asks Shiori to hurry up, carrying some books, saying that the Literature club needs their help due to Shiori handing in her manuscript late.

Mai High Festival ArcEdit

During the actual Mai-High festival, Shiori was cleaning the library as Keima approached her. Keima wants some more information about the history of Mai-High. After a few books, Keima doesn't seem satisfied and asks her if she knew of any older books or documents. As both are looking through old documents and photographs, Keima noticed that the old theater is present and decided to go there.

As Shiori tried to ask Keima about where he's going, Keima apologies to Shiori and said that he'll come by more often to the library causing her to stand there and blush. Keima then warned her not to let Minerva out.

By nightfall, in the library, a table lamp was shown be be lit while books belonging to Shiori were left on the table. But she was nowhere to be found, while at the edge of the same table, a small portion of web-like spell that resembles Lune's one is left.

Later, due to the events and actions of Keima, Runaway Spirit Squad and the goddesses, she along with the other captured targets were freed.

Heart of Jupiter ArcEdit

Shiori was shown reading countless books on cooking when she heard that Keima had returned.

RelationshipsEdit

Keima KatsuragiEdit

Shiori first met Keima at the library during her conquest. After her conquest, she faintly remembered that someone was inside the library during the time she locked herself in the library. During the Old Conquest Arc, when Keima tried to approach Shiori, Shiori avoided him and tried not to talk to him.

She later said in herself that the only thing she remembers about Keima was the time when Keima and her kissed. They've met sometimes during the Old Conquest Arc. Keima later helped Shiori in creating her novel. He later kissed Shiori in cheek, as Shiori was embarrassed by this.

Later at the Mai-high festival, Shiori helped Keima in finding the history of Maijima.

MinervaEdit

The two first met at the library. Shiori thought the Minerva was a lost child. After Keima kissed again Shiori in the cheek and left, Minerva appeared to her and introduced herself but Shiori didn't notice this and just lay down her head on the table. The two don't talk that much at all.

FujiideraEdit

She is the head of the library committee and often scolds Shiori for being too quiet. She cares for Shiori when it comes to work and easily forgives Shiori when she locked herself inside the library.

TriviaEdit

Her name comes from Shionomiya Station (汐ノ宮駅, Shionomiya-eki).
Shiori's first name can be taken to mean "bookmark".
The cause of the crevice in Shiori's heart was due to her being afraid of miscommunication and that the people she talked to would not understand what she was trying to say.
She enjoys books (particularly detective stories), Japanese tea, and bookmarks.
She dislikes noise, especially loud noise, and being rushed and she especially dislike karaoke.
Shori had a craving for Negi Ramen but due to the restaurant's nosiness, she never really had a chance to eat until chapter 146.
As of Chapter 149, it has been shown that Shiori suffers from Pteromerhanophobia .
She described her recent problems as difficulty allotting time to both reading and writing.
She enjoys music, but because it proceeds at its own pace instead of hers, she is only able to appreciate it by reading the lyrics.
An omake reveals that she began writing a story based upon her residual memories of her experience with Keima that contains somewhat embarrassing portions. Later on, this story is revealed to be a mirror of the Shiori arc, except for the fact that the roles of Keima and Shiori are switched, having Shiori be the one to capture Keima.
She was the fourth capture of Keima in the series.
She is also the fourth person that Keima - had previously conquered - came into contact with (to determine if she had a goddess residing within her heart.) The first being Yui, followed by Chihiro, and then Ayumi.
Shiori's arc was so popular at the time of its release that the author apologized to the readers for making them wait so long when she finally made an appearance again during the Old Conquest arc. Also, the author claimed it really boosted the manga's popularity.
In the official anime, Shiori's kiss was never fully shown. Only the shadows of the kiss are viewed. However, her kiss is fully shown in the PV.
In the series, after her run-away spirit was captured, Shiori briefly remembers that she was with someone in the library during her opposition after she drank from the same bottle Keima drank from.
She is in the same class with the Light-Novel-only character, Aoba Fuse.
