Teruhashi Kokomi is a perfect beautiful girl with a beautiful appearance that makes everyone who passes by turn their heads. She is friendly to everyone and is liked by most of the opposite sex. She is the ultimate, absolute, most lovable girl, and any man who meets her can't help but say, "Whoa!?"

Kuboyasu Aren is a serious boy with glasses who transferred to Kusuo's class. His true identity is that of a former delinquent who was once the leader of a team called "Hosuha". When he transferred to a school, he decided to graduate from being a delinquent, and that's how he has remained ever since. His old nicknames were "The Killing Weapon of the Deadly Asura", "Demon Slayer Kuboyasu", and "Neckline Aren".

Saitora Metori is the third transfer student after Toritsuka and Kuboyasu. He is the heir to the Saitora financial group, and is very proud and egocentric. His secretary arranges everything he wants, and he believes that anything can be solved with money.

Saiki Kusuke is Kusuo's older brother and a genius inventor with an IQ of 218.

Her influence was a big factor in Kusuo not growing up to be the kind of person who would misuse his powers.
