Karakter & Staf

Hazumu Osaragi

Utama

Female

The story begins with Hazumu, the main character, as a boy, who always seemed to have a crush on his friend and classmate Yasuna Kamiizumi ever since he first met her. He was not very masculine in either his appearance or his actions, and so as a child he would get teased for being so feminine. In addition, several flashbacks have been featured in both the manga and anime featuring Hazumu dressed like a girl at a young age. Whether he wanted to do this of his own accord or his mother just dressed him up is never specified but regardless he didn't seem to be bothered by it; indeed he was shown to enjoy it. Once in high school, he confesses his love to Yasuna one day, but is rejected. Afterwards, he climbs the nearby Mt. Kashima to clear his feelings. He is fatally injured by an alien spacecraft crash-landing on the mountain. In an attempt to rectify the accident, the alien pilot revives Hazumu but inadvertently changes his physical sex in the process. After the change and initial shock of those who know Hazumu, it is shown that she has a personality that is very effusive, expressive and quite sensitive which makes her fit well as a Japanese girl. Hazumu ends up becoming more feminine as time goes on, which is shown through her actions, mannerisms and personality. One exception to this, however, is that she never got over referring to herself using the term boku (僕), meaning "I", which is usually only used by males in Japan. Hazumu, as an amateur floriculturist, loves plants (more specifically flowers), and is very knowledgeable about them. She is in the Gardening Club, and takes care of a large number of plants around the school campus with the other members though is seen doing most of the work throughout the series. When the manga and anime versions of Hazumu's character are compared, it's shown that Hazumu in the anime is much more subdued and reserved when confronted with danger, which makes her depend more on the help of others. In the manga, she's much more of a stronger female character and doesn't get scared at talking back with a smart retort.

Kana Ueda

Yasuna Kamiizumi

Utama

Female

Yasuna tends to be a quiet and often lonely girl compared to the rest of her friends. Since her parents are rarely around due to being overworked, she seems to depend on her close friends for love and support, especially when it comes to Hazumu, who unfortunately doesn't tend to show her the type of affection Yasuna desires from her. Yasuna and Hazumu first met as classmates, though they rarely ever talked with each other, which means that Hazumu was simply admiring Yasuna from afar. One day when on Mt. Kashima sometime before the main story began, Yasuna found that they shared an interest in gardening. It was also at this point where she pointed out how feminine Hazumu appeared, which is also the main reason she could see most of his figure minus his face, which as a male was always shown with his hair covering it. As fate would have it, Yasuna rejected Hazumu's first confession of love for her as a boy, but later after his transformation into a girl, ironically she confesses her love to Hazumu. Her awkward personality and antisocial tendencies towards males in general is due to Yasuna displaying symptoms of androphobia. Astonishingly, she sees all men, minus Hazumu, as covered in a grey blur. This is mainly why she finds it easier to love Hazumu after he becomes a girl, showing much more blatant interest in Hazumu after the change. She is in the Music Club and plays the flute. Incidentally, the music room where she practiced playing was positioned near a rooftop of the school where Hazumu would maintain a large garden.

Yui Horie

Tomari Kurusu

Utama

Female

Tomari is Hazumu's childhood friend who has been with Hazumu for a long time, and most importantly protected him often from bullies. In direct contrast to Hazumu, her most obvious quality is that she is a tomboy which is shown through her actions and lack of interest in traditionally feminine things such as clothing or shopping. Indeed, Tomari's friends of both genders consider her very masculine which often causes Tomari to get angry at such comments. Additionally, she is a member of the Track and Field Club and enjoys physical activities. Before Hazumu's change, she shows some latent interest in Hazumu and is at first just as shocked as everyone else when he is transformed into a girl. Tomari has always put a lot of effort into supporting Hazumu and defending him whenever he is in despair. Though Hazumu has always been grateful for Tomari's support, at times Tomari later seems to be jealous that Hazumu hangs around with Yasuna a lot more after Hazumu's sex change. Eventually, Tomari seems to develop romantic feelings of her own for the new Hazumu.

Yukari Tamura

Ayuki Mari

Pendukung

Female

Ayuki is Tomari's best female friend, who, much like Yasuna, is quiet and reserved, though seems to be more social than Yasuna. Indeed, she serves to act as the voice of reason between the interactions of the other characters. Additionally, Ayuki seems to have an interest in observing the people around her and she enjoys learning about the sciences, though most specifically, biological sciences. It is suggested indirectly that Ayuki is also interested in Hazumu, and later in the anime, she also seems to be interested in Tomari. However, she says that she prefers not to get involved with the developing love triangle and simply observes from the sidelines.

Masumi Asano

Asuta Soro

Pendukung

Male

Asuta is Hazumu's best male buddy before and after the UFO crash, though his opinion of Hazumu changes somewhat due to his taking interest in Hazumu's new female form and feminine personality. Asuta is a good deal more manly than Hazumu ever was, and was trying to find Hazumu to give him some adult magazines (which Hazumu hates) on the night of the Mt. Kashima incident as an attempt to try to console him for getting turned down by Yasuna. Asuta has found himself more and more attracted to Hazumu after the transformation, leaving Hazumu completely oblivious of this fact. Eventually, Asuta resolves to simply being Hazumu's best male friend and sees that her main interest is indeed with Yasuna.

Daisuke Ono

Namiko Tsuki

Pendukung

Yuuko Mizutani

Hitoshi Sora

Pendukung

Hitoshi Sora is a cultural anthropologist and space alien. His research brought him to visit Earth, and he is currently in disguise as the biology teacher at Hazumu's high school. His unfamiliarity with human ways provides the series with an outside perspective on love - the focus of Sora's research. Additionally, his views on other subjects, such as friendly competition or war, provide a somewhat existentialist point of view. The alien's research, explained in the manga, is of great importance to the survival of his species as he fears that if his currently rather unemotional people do not rediscover passions like love, they may all eventually die out.

Keiji Fujiwara

Jan Puu

Pendukung

Jan Puu is an artificial intelligence employed by Hitoshi Sora as the automatic pilot of his spaceship. Though Jan Puu is very enthusiastic about new people, she seems to have few social skills and often acts like a human child. Her human body is modelled after Hazumu's female body, whom she addresses as onee-nii-sama (お姉兄さま literally meaning "older sister-brother").
