character

The appeal of "Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy" lies in its unique characters. The main characters are introduced below.

Saint Mizuki (CV: Chinatsu Akasaki)

The protagonist of this work, clad in a pink outfit, is an ordinary high school girl who transfers to Minakami High School. She had hoped for a peaceful high school life, but despite being bossed around by the members of the Hero Club, she grows as she spends her days with them.

Noda Yamato (CV: Yamashita Daiki)

He is a chuunibyou Sentai otaku who wears a red outfit. He always wears gym clothes and a red and white cap with the brim turned up as his everyday clothes. He is a positive and passionate person, and is trusted by other sports clubs due to his high athletic ability.

Tomoki Takashima (CV: Shugo Nakamura)

A disappointingly handsome man who can only love two-dimensional female characters who wear yellow outfits. His life revolves around the smartphone game "I Live!", and he calls Sora-chan, who appears in the game, his "wife" and loves her.

Kazuhiro Nakamura (CV: Hideaki Kabumoto)

He wears a black outfit and is a stereotypical severe chuunibyou. His real name is "Ryushoin Touga" and he has a dark god inside his right arm. He is a brilliant student who is ranked first in his grade, but has no athletic ability.

Zero Tsukumo (CV: Junichi Enoki)

A character who wears a purple outfit and acts like a mastermind. He is relatively sensible among the members of the Hero Club, but he is easily scared and doesn't like ghosts, so much so that he hides behind Mizuki, who is a girl.

Chuuniba (CV: Rikuya Yasuda)

He is a returnee who wears green clothing and is Tsukurei's cousin. He speaks native English and becomes popular in his class immediately after transferring to a new school. Although he acts cool, he is actually a geek and a narcissist.
