Yamada is the most beautiful girl in school, and everyone agrees that she looks good, but in her head she has erotic fantasies and dreams of having 100 sexual friends. In fact, she is a virgin, and when it comes down to it, she gets cocky, so she chooses Kosuda as her first sexual partner and struggles to win him over. Kosuda Takashi is a boy who doesn't stand out at school and is average in every way. He is a virgin and insensitive to love. His hobby is photography, and he is confused and led around by Yamada's advances. Takeshita Miharu is Yamada's best friend and has big breasts with an F cup. She has an older boyfriend (Matsuo Daisuke) and has had sex, but is shy and doesn't want to talk about her first sexual experience. Although she is surprised by Yamada's erotic consultation, she gives him appropriate advice. Miyano Mayu has a gentle personality and is good at cooking. She has big breasts and is a virgin, and is in love with her childhood friend Kosuda, but she is shy and has a hard time expressing her feelings. Yamada Chinatsu is Yamada's younger sister, and is a love master who tickles men's hearts with her devilish charm and invites a different beautiful boy boyfriend to her house every time. Yamada sometimes consults Chinatsu when he is in trouble. Kosuda Katsuki is Kosuda's older sister and a university student. She has a tomboyish personality, so much so that she was thought to be a boy when she was a child. She cares about her younger brother Kosuda and supports his relationship with Yamada. Kinjo Kyoka is a rich girl who sees Yamada as a rival and is in love with her older brother Keiichi. She is a virgin, and because Keiichi is in love with Yamada, she has a dark side to her, trying various strategies to get Yamada to fall for her. Ero-gami is Yamada's erotic god, and is said to be the god who controls people's sexual desires and leads them to H. Although Yamada cannot see her, she supports Yamada from behind the scenes and makes comments. Misato Mami is a lively girl who loves handsome men, and is also the mood maker of Yamada's group. She falls in love with Kaneshiro's older brother (Keiichi) at first sight and makes a fierce move on him. Katase Aoi is Misato's best friend, and has had the experience of being cheated on in the past, which is why she has a more mature side to her classmates.
