And then, a super airhead girl, nicknamed Osaka, comes from Osaka, and Yukari's class becomes even more lively! Will Chiyo-chan and her friends be able to live a normal high school life?

・Chiyo-chan (Mihama Chiyo) /
Although she is only 10 years old, she is a genius girl who has skipped a grade and is so talented that she has skipped a grade to high school. She is talented in everything from cooking to dressing, and her family is very wealthy! Perhaps because of her honest personality, Tomo-chan often plays with her like a child. She hates exercise, painful stories, thunder, and cars. Her pet dog is called Chukichi. Her huge pigtails are her charm point. //
・Tomo-chan (Takino Satoshi) //////
She is a runaway high school girl (self-proclaimed) whose energy and enthusiasm are unmatched by anyone else. She is always at the center of a commotion and is good at causing trouble for others (especially Yomi). She aims to be like Fujiko Mine, but she is nothing like her. Her dream is to scream in class...
・Reading (Suwon calendar) /
An honor student who excels at both studies and sports. She has a good figure, but she is always concerned about her weight. She is one of the few straight-man characters among the many funny characters. She has been best friends with Tomo-chan since elementary school. She likes to sing, but she is not very good at it.
・Osaka (Kasuga Ayumu) ​​//////
A transfer student from Osaka. Tomo-chan gave him the nickname Osaka. His goofiness far surpasses the natural level. He's not good at studying, but is on the same level as Chiyo-chan when it comes to sports. He also dislikes many things, such as spicy food, carbonated drinks, puzzles, and dustpans, but he seems to be good at riddles. // Sakaki-san, Osaka //
She's good at sports and has an amazing figure. She's cool and quiet at first glance, so she's popular with the female students. But in reality, she's a dreamy girl who loves flowers and animals. Whenever she tries to stroke a cat's head, she always gets bitten. She wants to be a veterinarian in the future. (Is that okay?) //
・Kagura/
He has athletic ability comparable to Sakaki-san. However, his personality is the complete opposite, he is an active athlete. He loves to challenge others, but doesn't seem to care about winning or losing. He's not good at studying, so he formed the "Bonkuras" with Tomo-chan and Osaka. In fact, he is the most shy of them all.
・Mr. Yukari (Yukari Tanizaki)
He is the homeroom teacher for class 3. His subject is English. He is clumsy, self-centered, and competitive, and it's hard to imagine him as a high school teacher. But he's beautiful, so it seems like "if you keep quiet, you'll be fine..." He's amazing when he gets her drunk. He's even better at driving a car.
