- "
I hate this stupid village! I hate it! HATE! IT! " - ―Megumi Shimizu
Personality
Megumi can be self-centered and often thinks only about herself. She hates Sotoba and feels that she doesn't belong there, made worse by the fact that the other villagers laugh at her. Though she acts polite to the villagers, she looks down on them for their lack of self-conscious of how people outside the village would view them and gets frustrated with their view that anything outside of Sotoba is weird. She especially looks down on her childhood friend Kaori, whom she views as an annoyance. On the other hand, she acts kind and shy when she's around or talking to Natsuno, who she has an intense crush on. Although, he doesn't feel the same way for her. As a human, she was dreamy, often shown day dreaming and fantasizing.
After she rose up as a Shiki, she becomes more malicious. She seems to easily accept being a Shiki and attacking other villagers, most likely due to her hatred of the village and desire of leaving. Her feelings for Natsuno become more intense as she targets people close to him. She develops a hatred for his best friend Tooru and agrees to kill him out of jealousy and later agrees to kill Kaori's father as payback for her being close to Natsuno. She was impulsive and often voiced out her opinion or expressed her own thoughts before considering how they would affect other people. This was shown when she learned of Natsuno being targeted and Nao trying to assure her that he would become one of them, she lashed out at the latter with the fact that none of her family rose up, causing Nao to break down.
History
Megumi was born and raised in Sotoba. Megumi hates living in Sotoba. She dreams of going to university in the city once she graduates, where she'll be scouted into show buissness and hang out at clubs every night. The only thing she cares about the village is the large house ontop of the hill and Yuuki.
On August 11th, Kaori and Megumi get into a fight when Kaori says that she isn't really interested in the mansion or the people in it.
As Megumi storms away, she senses someone looking at her. While showing off, she trips and Seishirou Kirishiki come out side to see if she's alright. She then goes missing.
The town searches for Megumi on the mountain until she is found on the 12th. She can stand and the villagers call Dr. Ozaki.
Dr. Ozaki goes to Megumi's house where her parents thank him for coming all the way there. He finds that there isn't anything wrong with her physically. She won't eat anything. She doesn't have a fever, just some insect bites. She is found to be anemic. He says that he is going to draw some blood. Her parents are both relieved. Megumi says that she's very sleepy. She can only remember being welcomed by Tatsumi and Seishirou Kirishiki.
September 19
Megumi finds that Natsuno tore up the postcard that she wrote him. She picks up some pieces and begins to cry before becoming angry.
Relationships
Natsuno Koide
Megumi always had a crush on Natsuno ever since he came to Sotoba and tries to befriend or strike a conversation with him to no avail. Her infatuation with him causes her develop a habit of watching him from his window while hiding in the bushes and daydreaming of being in a relationship with him. Unfortunately those feelings are unrequited, for Natsuno dislikes her and is fully aware of her spying activities on him. Nevertheless, he admits they share a common dislike to the village and wish of leaving it. After her death and resurrection, her feelings for Natsuno soon rises to obsession, for she stalks him and kills anyone who might be an obstacle to her object of affection. Despite knowing Natsuno hates her even more after killing Tooru, she still shows genuine concern for him, as she was willing to disobey Tatsumi to save him and was devastated when she learned of Natsuno's "death". In both the anime and manga climax, though there are differences, it was the image of Natsuno that distracted Megumi long enough for her to get caught by the villagers and staked.
Tooru Mutou
Megumi utterly despises Tooru throughout their entire lives, as Humans and Shiki. Her only reason for this hatred seems to be just the fact that Natsuno likes Tooru more than her, as stated when she arrived in the Mutou house to bite the sleeping blond. Despite her feeling this way towards him, Tooru doesn't seem to hate Megumi, this may be just because of his "I don't hate anyone." kind of personality.
Even though he doesn't necessarily have mutual feelings towards Megumi, there does seem to be some tension which can be interpretted from the hunt for Natsuno, as he decides to bite his best friend rather than let Megumi touch him. This is just theorised though due to the threat of his family being attacked if he didn't feed on Natsuno. After this attack it seems that Megumi's hatred towards Tooru heightens, not to anyone's surprise.
Appearance
Megumi has long, bright pink hair which she styles into curly twin tails or occasionally she wears them straight and she uses different ribbons or hair accessories for each outfit she wears, she has a fair complexion and red eyes. She is also fashionable, as she is, apart from her school uniform, always seen wearing stylish and creative clothing with accessories to accompany them, albeit some of the clothing are revealing. When she was alive and during the summer, she wore a pink summer dress that showed her cleavage. The dress also had black ruffles and strings at the back to hold the dress, with knee-high white socks, pink high-heels and accompanied with a small, pink parasol and she also painted her fingernails red to go with the outfit. She is later seen in a yellow summer dress with black skulls and orange sandal heeled boots. With this oufit she painted her finger and toenails light pink.
After her death and resurection as a Shiki, her skin becomes pasty white with her eyes are now black with her irises going bright red and glowing like all shiki. She also starts wearing clothing that is close to punk and gothic fashion, as when she first appears as a Shiki, she wore a lowcut red corset with a frilled, black trim, paired with a black, ruffled mini-skirt with a white belt. She also wore a black leather spiked choker, black, shoulder-length fingerless gloves with white, spiked bands, black, thigh-high stockings and white zip up high heel boots. She also put on red lipstick and painted her nails blood red. With this outfit she also wore red flower earrings. During the attack on the Ozaki clinic, she wore a pink and black mid-thigh dress with black stripes going down it and parting with red buttons and ruffles at the bottom. She also wore ripped light tan pantyhose and elbow length black gloves with a pair of pink sneaker boots along with pink striped fingerless gloves and a black shirt collar choker. When she became a Shiki she wore different lipsticks ranging in color from peach to red to pink depending on the outfit she wore.
Plot
When a new family moves into the Kanemasa mansion, Megumi is intrigued. She decides to visit but never returns home.
Megumi
A search-party is organized for her, and after searching they discover an unconscious Megumi in the forest. The doctor concludes that she suffers from anemia but she should be fine. However, a few days later (August 15 according to episode 2) Megumi dies of heart failure, shocking

everyone.
Megumi died from a vampire bite inflicted by Chizuru. Then at Megumi's funeral, Kaori presents Natsuno the late summer greeting card but Natsuno refuses to accept. When burying Megumi, Kaori leaves a present in Megumi's coffin which she was planning to give her. After Megumi's death, Natsuno begins to hallucinate and thinks he still sees Megumi at night watching him from his window.
After receiving an invitation through Tatsumi for Tooru Motou's house, Megumi and Tatsumi visit late at night while Natsuno is staying over. Megumi enters Tooru's bedroom where both boys are sleeping. She says she hates Tooru for being closer to Natsuno than she ever was. She reveals her fangs and goes in for the bite. Natsuno wakes up covered in sweat and believes it was all a dream. Or was it?
Megumi bites Toru
When Tooru dies several days later, Natsuno knows that Megumi has risen from the dead. He gathers Kaori and her younger brother Akira, who both were already suspecting something of a supernatural nature was going on, to dig up Megumi's coffin and confirm she's truly dead. And they are right, Megumi coffin is in fact empty.
After this, Tatsumi orders Megumi to go after Kaori and Akira's family starting with killing their father. She does so and threatens Kaori.
Some days later, Natsuno also dies and Megumi hears that Natsuno is cremated because he originally came from the city. This news devastates her because she knows that Natsuno can't rise from the dead if he is cremated.
Megumi's last moments
While the villagers are killing all the Shiki, Megumi attempts to escape to a big city where she could get famous. While Megumi decides to cross the road, she's in a flashback, seeing Natsuno waiting for the bus. While Megumi is looking at Natsuno, the villagers see her. While getting hit by a tractor a few times she tells them reasons why they shouldn't kill her. Although, this plan fails and she gets hit by another tractor that soon crushes her arm in the process, she screams about how much she hates Sotoba and how a village like it shouldn't even exist. Another tractor pulls up and proceeds to run over her face. Megumi is still alive until she gets staked in the heart.
Megumi's death in the anime differs from the one in the original novel and manga. She still gets hit by a vehicle, broken and twisted limbs and all bloodied. She still tries to make her escape, but the villagers get to her, pounding about five stakes into her back and heart and killing her completely (which is known as "multi-staked"). Her final thoughts show her living a glamorous life in the city even though it was just a magazine of such laying beside her as her corpse was being driven away with the other dead bodies.
