■ Main Characters

Shinomiya Kyoya "Why is our club like this?"

・Angel Mao "I'm the manager!"
A third-year high school student. Captain of the Good-J Club. She has a headstrong personality and will snap at Kyoya if something displeases her. On the other hand, she is also innocent, to the point that she can't read manga with kissing scenes.
・Sumeragi Shion "You're cute."
A third-year high school student. A self-proclaimed genius. With a mature personality, he is always teasing Kyoya. On the other hand, he has a fatal lack of common sense and sometimes makes ridiculous mistakes.
Angel Megumi: "Shinomiya-kun, you're a good person."
A second-year high school student. She is Mao's younger sister, but in contrast to her sister, she has a gentle personality. Her heart is as generous as an angel, and in her eyes, everything is reflected as a beautiful story.

A third-year high school student. A silent and mysterious wild person. He always has meat in one hand and sometimes talks to animals.
・Mr. Mori is the perfect chamberlain for the Angel family. Age unknown.
Kasumi Shinomiya. Kyoro's younger sister. A first year middle school student. She's cheerful and innocent, but has a bit of a brother complex.
Geraldine Bernstein: Kirara's younger sister. A first year middle school student. She has a dreamy personality and appears quiet, but is actually powerful.
・Tenshi Seira The third daughter of the Tenshi family. A first year middle school student. She is polite, but sometimes makes nasty comments.
