Nerula (ねるら, Nerura) is a supporting character of the Akiba Maid War anime series.

Appearance[]

Nerula is a young maid with pink eyes and navy blue hair that she wears in a low braid. She wears light makeup and sports an Invader Café Destron outfit.

Personality[]

Nerula is a kind girl who puts her friends and her morals as a maid first.

Background[]

Nerula is a maid from Invader Café Destron, which is owned by Oinky Doink Café's business rival Maidalien Group, which allows her to have some knowledge about the yakuza-like business of the maids. She meets Nagomi while passing out flyers. Despite this, she and Nagomi still become friends and later oath sister. Although she is a maid under different supervision, she cares deeply for Nagomi.

She is beaten and shot by Manami for trying to undermine Maidalien's attempt to wage war against its rivals, which leaves Nagomi traumatized.

In Episode 7, Nerula's former masters, Akai, Aota and Midorikawa visit Nagomi, who was now working at a ninja-themed cafe. They give her a cheki of Nerula, which causes Nagomi to get emotional and blame herself for her oath sister's death. They proceed to tell her how Nerula was a good maid and how she believed in Nagomi. A flashback is shown to when Nerula was working at her café and told the trio that she believed Nagomi would be the one to change what it means to be a maid in Akiba.

In Episode 8, after the Oinky Doink Café and Memory Lane Animal Café maids are ordered by Nagi to play a game of baseball and settle their differences, Nagomi insists to her teammates that they play a fair game without resorting to violence, so that Nerula's death would not have been in vain.

In Episode 12, Nagomi, who has now become bitter following the death of Ranko, visits the site where Nerula was killed. She drops off a flower bouquet and asks Nerula to forgive her for changing her ways as she begins seeking revenge.

Relationships[]

Nagomi Wahira[]

Nerula was the first friend Nagomi made in Akiba while handing out pamphlets. Her words gave Nagomi the strength to give being a maid her all in her times of doubt and suggested ideas to help Nagomi hold an event in her café. Their friendship becomes threatened when Manami, the acting leader of Maidalien Group, declares war on Creatureland and orders Maidalien Café to destroy Oinky Doink. Ranko and Zoya suggest assassinating Maidalien's leader, as all other alternatives would lead to their deaths. However, Nagomi doesn't want to fight, fearing that a war would make her have to hurt Nerula. Manager suggests a formal sisterhood bond between them. Nagomi proposes the bond, and Nerula happily accepts, saying, "I guess I'm a big sister now". With the General's help, and the Manager as a witness, the two exchange nametags and become bonded sisters.

Soon after, she finds out that Manami will attack "Oinky Doink" and informs Nagomi of her danger, slipping Nagomi a warning and tipping off a local policeman. Still, Manami and her aide Miyabi bribe the cop and hunt down Nerula soon after finding out she was the mole. The two find her hiding spot at about the same time as Nagomi and Ranko. Nerula takes responsibility for her actions and tries killing Manami, but is beaten and then shot down. Nagomi rushes over to the dying Nerula's side and holds her in her arms. Before Nerula dies, Nagmi listens to her final words. "Don't change the way you are, Be the maid you are now." As Nerula dies in her arms, Nagomi sobs over losing her sisterhood friend.

Following Nerula's death, Nagomi tries to make her proud by showing her fellow maids that violence can be avoided. She also adopts Nerula's catchphrase "Ike Ike Don Don!!" (いけいけどんどん, "Dream Big Go Go!!"), turning it into "Ike Ike Ton Ton!!" (いけいけとんとん, "Dream Pig Go Go!!")
