I recently watched the series _Midnight Occult Civil Servants_ (Mayonaka no
Okaruto) on Crunchyroll. The opening includes several seconds of a yellow-
haired character who did not appear in the anime.

You can see sort of a ribbon of sand floating at his eye line. The main
character, a reincarnated high spiritual power human with red hair, has a gift
to understand and speak in Yokai languages, called Ears of Sand. My guess is
the yellow- and red-haired guys are somehow related. My guess is that the
yellow-haired dude is from further in the manga than the anime goes. Who is
he?

Who is the yellow-haired character in opening of Midnight Occult Civil Servants?


Haven't watched the anime but taking a look at the art from the manga volume
covers, to me it looks like an artistic preference in the color used in the
opening scene rather than a new character.

Here's a comparison of the anime and the manga covers:

This is especially noticeable in **Volume 3** 's cover. There's no green-
haired character yet the cover art and the opening sequence also features the
characters with green hairs and an overall color of green (not sure what term
this is called in art). This leads to me to conclude that the opening scene
you see was probably trying to copy the volume's majority of one color in the
art in the scenes it portrays.

That said, I think that's the red-haired guy, Miyako Arata, if I'm correct.
