''This article is about the Manga version of Mark. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.''

Mark (マルク) is a five-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 as one of the many foster children of Isabella. Due to his age, Mark is considered to be one of the house's "low-quality goods". He was brought into the escape plan by Emma about two months after the truth of the orphanage was revealed.

After successfully escaping Grace Field alongside fourteen other orphans, Mark now seeks to find William Minerva, whom he and her team believe can grant them the liberty to live a safe and peaceful life away from the demons.

History
Mark was born at Grace Field on January 8, 2040 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2041, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Mark is brought into the escape plan alongside the other five year olds after Don and Gilda revealed the truth of the orphanage to them. They were scared, but determined to help out in any way they can. They managed to help prepare for the escape by gathering food, warm clothes and supplies and storing them in the old well until the night of the escape. Mark successfully escaped the house along with the rest of his siblings who were over the age of five.

Appearance
Mark is a slightly overweight young boy with a wide smile and round, light blue eyes. He has blue hair which resembles a bowl-cut, with straight, evenly-cut bangs which cover his forehead and a small tuft of hair that sticks up in the back. He also has an ahoge on the top of his head, which resembles the stem of a leaf. He wears the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white pants along with brown boots. His identification number, "79294", can be seen on the left side of his neck.

In 2047, Mark stopped wearing the standard uniform when he arrived at the shelter where he found some new clothes. He began wearing long, black pants, a black shirt, and a long white-colored coat together with the old brown shoes he wore at Grace Field House. He can also be seen wearing a backpack if they are traveling.

Personality
Mark is described as a boy who loves to eat. He is cheerful, loving, and curious, but is also shown to be rather emotional as he cries often and gets scared and angry easily. He cares about his siblings and is very protective of all of them. Like the rest of his younger siblings, he is also shown to be determined and eager to help out.

Introduction Arc
Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Mark went through the same routine every day at Grace Field House.

On October 12, 2045, he was seen playing with his siblings and was eventually caught by Norman in a game of tag. Standing alongside Naila, he also said goodbye to Conny who was leaving the orphanage.

When Naila got lost in the forest, Mark came up to Isabella, crying. He told her that he had tried searching for her but couldn't find her. Isabella later found her using the navigator, inadvertently revealing for the older children that she could track them.

Later, during another game of tag, he was caught by Krone. He was also seen participating in the training sessions under the disguise of playing.

Jailbreak Arc
As one of the youngest children, Mark was one of the last people recruited into the escape plan after hearing about the truth about the orphanage, the House, and Isabella. Mark and his siblings escape from Grace Field House Plant 3 on January 15, 2046.

Promised Forest Arc
After escaping Grace Field with his siblings, Mark and his siblings started looking for location B06-32 with some help from Mujika and Sonju; in which later they found out it is a hidden shelter in the wasteland. Upon reaching Shelter B06-32 like the rest of the children, he took refuge in it for more than a year.

Search For Minerva Arc
Mark was seen being overjoyed and crying tears of joy after Emma woke up from her coma following her battle with Leuvis.

Cuvitidala Arc
Like the rest of his siblings, Mark escapes from the shelter after it was raided by Andrew and his team. Mark was later seen arriving at the Paradise Hideout, overjoyed that Norman was alive.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Mark is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Mark, along with the other children, agrees to search for Emma so they can reunite with her again. Over the next two years spent in the Human World, Mark began attending school. During spring 2049, he finally reunites with Emma again and cries tears of joy, even though she lost her memories. In the special epilogue chapter Dreams Come True, Mark lived out his dream of visiting an all-you-can-eat ice cream buffet.

Naila
Mark grew up with Naila ever since they grew up at Grace Field House. Out of all the children, Mark was the closest to Naila. They were always seen by each other's side, playing with each other, and helping each other out.

Grace Field Escapees
Mark gets along with the Grace Field Escapees, particularly the younger children, such as Alicia, Jemima, Yvette, Rossi, Dominic and Chris. They are often seen playing together, helping each other with chores and cheering for one another's accomplishments. He also has an attachment to the older kids, such as Emma and Ray.
