■ Main Characters

・A Japanese teacher at Kojima Kanagawa Numanishi High School. He is feared by students and called "Demon Kojima" because of his intimidating presence. However, he has a tendency to get into trouble and gets Sato involved in all sorts of things! He is a good cook and takes the initiative in doing all kinds of household chores such as cleaning and laundry. In fact, he is an old friend of Sato's mother.

Ichiro Sato is a third-year student at Kawanuma Nishi High School. He is an ordinary high school student who encounters Kojima-sensei in various places and gets into trouble every time. He is the type who easily changes his will and is easily influenced. He was accepted into university through recommendation, and all that remains is for him to graduate.

Matsukaze Mayu is an art teacher at Kawanuma Nishi High School. She is called "Virgin Matsukaze" due to her gentle personality and is loved by her students. When she found out that Suzuki, whom she had fallen in love with at first sight during her university days, enrolled in her high school and was younger than her, she was incredibly surprised, but her feelings for him did not change.

・Suzuki Rin A second-year student at Kawanuma Nishi High School. He excels in both academics and sports and has a good personality, but he is feared by other students for his large build and fierce face, and his only friend is Sato, a senior from middle school. He respects Matsukaze-sensei from the bottom of his heart as a kind teacher who always speaks to him when he is lonely.

・Hazakura Hikari A physical education teacher at Kawanuma Higashi High School. She loves to play pranks and has a very free-spirited personality, which has earned her the nickname "Too Free-spirited Hazakura," and while she is exasperated by the students, she is well-liked by them. She calls Takashi "Taka" at school and is very fond of him, but from the outside, it may seem like she is bullying him. In addition to being the student council advisor, she is also the swimming club advisor.

Takahashi Takashi is a first-year student at Kawanuma Higashi High School. He is the student council treasurer and is small and androgynous. He is a childhood friend of Hazakura-sensei, who lives next door to him, and outside of school he calls her "Hika-nee." He has always wanted to be more manly, and admires tall, manly men.

Chizuru Tachibana A school nurse at Kawanuma Higashi High School. She is called "Absolute Zero Tachibana" because she makes remarks that instantly freeze the atmosphere in the room. She has a cool personality and her facial expression never changes, so it's often hard to tell what she's thinking, but she was inspired by a scene in her favorite manga where a health teacher gets along well with a student.

Tanaka Kogawa is a third-year student at Numa Higashi High School. He is a former student council president and a senior at the same school as Takahashi. Sato and Suzuki were in the same junior high school. He declares that he will get a girlfriend in the three months left until he graduates from high school, but will he be able to do it?
