■ Story

"Tesagure! Bukatsumono Ancore" is a story about girls searching for their true selves and where they belong. The main characters are ordinary high school girls who attend an ordinary high school, but they struggle to lead a high school life that is "not ordinary." The story depicts their growth, friendship, and the brilliance of youth.

The story revolves around five girls: club president Yua Suzuki, vice-president Hina Sato, second-year student Aoi Takahashi, first-year student Koharun Tanaka, and Moeko Sonoda. Although each girl has her own unique character, they support each other and grow together.

■Character Introduction

Suzuki Yua

She is the captain of the third-year class and is nicknamed "Yua." At first glance she seems to be a bit of a tsundere, but she is proactive and responsible, and also has a slightly unreliable side. Perhaps because she grew up abroad as a child, she has a somewhat innocent personality. She has many friends and is a member of several committees. Her grades are above average, and she is also good at sports. She has one younger brother. Her blood type is AB.

Hina Sato

She is a third-year vice-captain and is nicknamed "Hina." She has a calm and quiet demeanor, but is logical and a little sarcastic. She has been friends with Yua since elementary school, and her grades are among the best in her grade. She is not very good at sports, and her weakness is her strange sense of taste. She has the largest bust size among the club members. She is the middle sister of three sisters, and her blood type is B.

Aoi Takahashi

A second-year student, nicknamed "Aoi." A typical modern girl with a free and easy-going personality. She hates men and isn't good with the unique girly ways, and likes being alone, but after joining this club, her tastes have changed a bit. She's pretty good at sports, but a little clumsy. She worries about her small breasts. Her grades are below average, and she's an only child. Her blood type is O.

Koharu Tanaka

She is a first-year student and her nickname is "Koharu". She is earnest, innocent, and calls herself a "maiden". She has a kind personality, but she can also be a bit airheaded and clumsy. She loves manga and anime, and perhaps because she was close to her grandmother, her hobbies are somewhat retro. She didn't participate in any club activities in middle school, but when she entered high school, she decided to join a club where she could express her true self. She worked hard to get average grades, and is neither good nor bad at sports. She has one older sister who is a little older than her. Her blood type is A.

Moeko Sonoda

Although no detailed information is provided, she too adds color to the story as a unique character.
