Main Characters

Konomi Yuzuhara is a childhood friend of Takaaki Kono and is a girl one year younger than him. She still has a childish side and is a bit of a spoiled girl. She likes to be physically active, but she's not very good at studying. Her way of thinking is a bit off, but her purity is what makes her so charming.

Tamaki Mukaizaka is a young lady from an old family, but she has a friendly personality. She is a versatile woman who is good at sports, studying, housework, and anything else, and she is very caring and acts like an older sister. For that reason, Takaaki, like his younger brother Yuji Mukaizaka, calls her "Tama-nee" and is sometimes loved and sometimes feared.

Sasara Kusugawa is the student council president of the school and a senior who is one year older than Takaaki. She has a somewhat strict personality and doesn't let people get close to her. Because of her attitude, the other students are afraid of Sasara, but her seriousness and sense of responsibility are worthy of respect.

Maryan is the former student council president and has a very unconventional personality. She often goes off the rails, saying and doing things that go far beyond common sense, but she is considerate towards her junior, Kusugawa Sasara, who is also the current student council president, like a younger sister. Her free-spiritedness is what makes her so charming.

Komaki Aika is a hardworking girl who is called "Iincho". Although she is good at taking care of others, she is also a reserved person and often refuses help from others. As a member of the literary committee, she often visits the library, and her kindness and hard work are relied upon by those around her.

Yuji Mukaizaka is the younger brother of Tamaki Mukaizaka, and is Takaaki's classmate and best friend since childhood. His personality is the opposite of Takaaki's, he's a playful guy and likes girls. His camera, which he uses to take amazing photos of girls, is an indispensable item, and his cheerfulness and humor warm the hearts of those around him.

Takaaki Kono is childhood friends with Tamaki, who is one year older than him, and Konomi, who is one year younger than him. He is not very good at interacting with women, and his good-natured personality means he is easily deceived, but his kindness and sincerity are what make him so appealing.
