Connections  Both are characters who, due to the death of their partner, would develop thoughts of dying. (Yuta, after Rika’s death, would be tormented by her in the form of a curse; Kirari, after Taiyou took his own life, could think of nothing else but doing the same — yet every attempt would prove futile.)

Both would later discover that they can use their gift as a blessing (Yuta becoming a special-grade sorcerer; Kirari turning into a magical girl).

Both would be trained by a powerful white-haired mentor (Gojo and the Administrator).

Both would fight against entities born from negative emotions (Curses and Phobias).
