Josef

Josef (ヨゼフ Yozefu) is a Gutenburg of Ink.

History
When he was an apprentice, Josef was told to look after Heidi. He later married into her family and is continuing to look out for her.

Personality
Josef has a similar personality to Lutz as he looks out for his "weirdo" wife and tries to keep her on track as much as possible.

Story
Myne first meets Josef when she goes to the ink workshop to research coloured ink. He is yelling at Heidi to "finish her work first". When told that Heidi has a customer, he reacts with shock. Once he understands what is happening, he works hard to help Heidi and Myne to do their research.

When Heidi becomes sleep deprived and intrudes into a paint workshop, he is the one to calm the situation down. Once the initial research into coloured ink has been completed, Heidi urges him to use it to obtain his beruf certification. He tried to make Heidi take the credit, however, Heidi knew that it would be best for Josef to run the workshop as foreman as she did not want to think about business issues.

Trivia

 * Miya Kazuki says that she wrote Heidi and Josef imagining what might have been between Myne and Lutz if Myne didn't have the devouring.
