Karakter & Staf

Aya Toujou

Utama

Female

Reserved and timid almost to a fault, Toujou is the mystery girl Manaka has been seeking out (the girl with the strawberry panties). She excels in studies but is not very noticed at her middle school because of her large glasses and unattractive hairstyle. Her beauty was only brought out after she started wearing contact lenses and letting her hair down. Her career goal is to become a novelist. A gifted writer, she manages to win several prestigious awards for her compositions despite her youth. She is also the script writer for the movies of the Film Studies Club, and was the first person Manaka shared his dreams with. During the final school festival, she was considered by the Astrological Research Club's "Love Sanctuary" attraction to be the best person suited for Manaka. Associated with the East ("Tou").

Mamiko Noto

Satsuki Kitaouji

Utama

Female

Athletic and energetic, she loves to be seen with Manaka and is the most confident in her love for him. Completely open with her feelings and not afraid to show her thoughts (or her body for that matter), Kitaouji stands out because of her alluring body. She is a G-cup (the running joke is that her breasts are so big, they weigh her down) and her blouses occasionally pop open when she is emotional. Manaka and Kitaouji have a lot in common (including their tastes in TV shows and manga and their academic records) to the point that Manaka even said that if she were a guy, she would be the boss and he would be her most loyal friend. If any of the girls could be labeled as a tragic figure, it would be Kitaouji; despite her total devotion and physical, almost forceful, advances, Manaka constantly rejects her. His rejections crush her to a moving degree. At the end of the manga, she becomes the hostess of a relation's restaurant. Associated with the North ("Kita").

Sanae Kobayashi

Junpei Manaka

Utama

Male

The main character in the story. An overall nice guy attending middle (and later high) school who gets caught up in many embarrassing but endearing romantic situations. Although his thoughts on girls can get quite perverted on occasion, his gentleness and kindness, as well as his selflessness at times, is what attracts girls to him. His dream is to make films as a director. While not academically gifted, he has great talent with cinematography that gradually develops as the story progresses.

Kenichi Suzumura

Tsukasa Nishino

Utama

Female

Her idol-caliber face, fair hair, and straightforward personality make her very popular at school. With her looks, she attracts literally dozens of admirers but turns down each and every one. Flighty and hot-tempered at the start of the manga, she develops a far more mature attitude after entering Oumi Academy.

Megumi Toyoguchi

Yui Minamito

Utama

Female

A neighbor and childhood friend of Manaka until she moved away to the countryside. Only one year younger than Manaka, she is very much like a younger sister to him. She has a very strict father. She is fond of chocolates and cake, and has a bad habit of sleeping naked. As a fellow student of Oumi Academy, she looks up to Nishino as a role model, and is infatuated with Okusa. In her second year of high school, after an argument with her father over her living with Manaka and his family, she decides to live in an apartment on her own even though she still has trouble cooking for herself. She still prefers to sleep in Manaka's bed when given the chance. Associated with the South ("Minami").

Nana Mizuki

Ookusa

Pendukung

Male

One of Manaka's friends from middle school who is the star player of the soccer team. His athletic abilities and good looks make him a magnet to girls.

Takashi Kondou

Kozue Mukai

Pendukung

Female

A student in the cram school Manaka and Toujou attend during their second year of high school. Although she has an attractive body, she has a chronic fear of males, freezing up and even cowering in terror in their presence. Ironically, she also tends to have very vivid romantic fantasies with those she fears. She quickly falls in love with Manaka, the first boy she feels comfortable enough to talk to. She appears to be an extreme version of Toujo; she is far more shy and reserved, and falls over just as often.

Kana Ueda

Misuzu Sotomura

Pendukung

Female

Tough and pretty younger sister of Hiroshi. A no-nonsense person, Misuzu installs herself as vice-president and assistant director of the Film Studies Club. One of the few female characters in the story who does not fall for Manaka; she can not stand his indecisiveness with women. When they first met she found Manaka interesting because he was critical about movies. She plays down Manaka's role in the club, but later admits (to herself) that Manaka's accomplishment in building the club from scratch is truly remarkable whereas she is just "all-talk". Idolizes Toujo for her writing ability.

Eriko Kawasaki

Chinami Hashimoto

Pendukung

Female

Childish, impulsive, and fickle girl in the same year as Misuzu. A gold-digger through and through, she is very used to getting whatever she wants. She initially used Manaka as an excuse for dumping one of her previous "boyfriends" and eventually ended up joining the Film Studies Club. While she does not hold any genuine feelings for Manaka, she is bothered by how unremarkable she is to him.

Ai Shimizu

Shiori Kurokawa

Pendukung

Female

Manaka's math teacher and advisor to the Film Club. Beautiful and a frequent drinker, she is the classic irresponsible adult archetype, tending to spend the prize money of the Film Studies Club on frivolous pursuits like visits to the salon. Despite this, she is quite supportive of the club, being one of the original founding members and the main female protagonist in the club movie that inspired Manaka to push through with his directorial dreams.

Mitsuki Saiga

Hiroshi Sotomura

Pendukung

Male

Close friend of Manaka, whose sole obsession in life is taking photos of pretty girls for his website, "Melon 100%". To this end, he initiated the re-establishment of the Film Studies Club in order to make use of school funding and facilities to expand his website. Despite his perversions, Sotomura is the number-one student in school, with grades even better than those of Tojo.

Yuuji Ueda

Rikiya Komiyama

Pendukung

Male

Close friend of Manaka since middle school, frequently made fun of because of his peculiar, octopus-like looks and his desperation in finding a girlfriend.
