Ayako Kawasumi

Kaoru Hanabishi

Utama

The primary male protagonist of the series. He's a fairly average person and he doesn't fit the mold of the stereotypical male hero in most harem anime series. For the most part, he's shown to be a fairly good student and isn't prone to emotional outbursts unlike other leading males in harem anime. He's generally well liked and is a member of the photography club at Meiritsu University. He harbors a deep dislike for the Hanabishi clan due to their inhumane treatment of himself and his mother, which was due in turn to that clan's disapproval of his parents' relationship and resulted in Kaoru leaving the clan. Kaoru's mother and father never married and he was an illegitimate child. His back is scarred from when he was tortured with a bamboo cane for trying to prevent his grandfather from burning mementos of his dead mother. Kaoru belongs to the Hanabishi Zaibatsu family; they gave their commitment and his marriage vowels to a girl in the Sakuraba family (Owner of the Sakuraba Department chain Stores) - Both are as prestigious as each other. Kaoru was dis-owned from the Hanabishi family, causing the planned marriage to be cancelled. He now lives and studies in Tokyo and has become 20 years of age. His given name 'Kaoru', translates as fragant as his personality is gentle and kind. He is known for his courteous actions among female characters; however, he can also be abrupt and let them know when something is wrong. Due to his child-hood experiences, he became a semi-recluse while studying in Tokyo; Aoi sparks light into his life, when he is lower than ever before and extremely lonely. - First paragraph [Wikipedia] - Leading on research/information presented by MAL user (Kaoru-Sama).

Tina Foster

An American who grew up in Hakata since she was 5, Tina Foster was at first the shy girl who loved photography since she was in elementary school. After she met Kaoru Hanabishi and fell in love with him, she always tries to have a good time and have good memories with everyone. Tina also has this fascination with boobs. She tends to have the habit of grabbing everyone's boobs (especially Taeko's) and can tell how big they are, or even if they have gained weight. Always positive on the surface, Tina still can't hide her true love for Kaoru, even though she knows of his relationship with Aoi.

Sayaka Narita

Chika Minazuki

Pendukung

Female

During the summer she spends most of her time working in a cafe down by the beach. Because of this, she's very tanned except for tan-lines caused by her swimsuit. She notices that Taeko has a crush on Kaoru and spends a lot of time trying to fix the two of them up. She gets a crush on Karou a few chapters after her first appearance. On another note she's seen naked several times during the seasons by him. A student in her first year of high school, she is energetic and often times finds herself in Kaoru's bed thinking it's her own. She has her own Kaoru doll she carries around and a small book with a picture of the two of them. Chika is one of three members in the Swiming Club; the other two are her friends Natuki Komiya and Chizuru Aizawa.

Haruko Momoi

Miyabi Kagurazaki

Pendukung

Aoi's appointed guardian and caretaker, she spent most of her life looking after Aoi and helping in her uprising. She's also very active in the running of the Sakuraba Department Store. She's generally very strict and enforces the rules of the Sakuraba summer house as the manager. Despite her initial dislikes of Kaoru and all of his friends, she learns to accept him because of the feelings that Aoi and Kaoru have for each other. She is somewhat humbled in the episode where Tina is introduced courtesy of losing in a drinking game with her. She's also very fond of breaking watermelons in the summer. Although the impression is given that she is a tough-as-nails workaholic, she shows various signs of being a very deeply compassionate person. When the pet ferret was in danger of dying from being crushed by a gigantic heirloom pendulum clock, for all her initial dislike of the animal she raced to find a crowbar which she then used to free the ferret, which later became more attached to her than to Tina. Aoi later explains that the ferret could sense the kindheartedness within Miyabi's samurai-like demeanor. In the manga, it's revealed that her parents worked for the Sakuraba family before they passed away from an accident. Aoi's mother then took in the orphaned Miyabi, who then was tasked with caring for Aoi. She has great respect for Aoi, and shows this by adding the honorific "-sama" after her name. After accepting Kaoru, she adds the honorific "-dono" after his name. Her given name means "refinement", which befits her role of training Aoi to be a good wife.

Chizuru Aizawa

Pendukung

One of Chika's good friends in high school, who took swimming lessons from Tina along with her schoolmates. She's very afraid of the water, but managed to overcome her fear and learned how to swim. She is the shy one of Chika's group, often overwhelmed by adult matters (of the trio, her mind is the most prone to perverted thoughts) and prone to constant blushing and the occasional fainting fit.

Mamiko Noto

Natsuki Komiya

Pendukung

Another of Chika's good friends in high school. She considers Chika to be her chief rival and is often jealous of the love-love relationship that she and Chizuru assume Chika to have with Kaoru. She is about the only person who can beat Chika at swimming besides Tina Foster (who nicknames her "Nakki"). In bonus chapters to manga volumes 15 and 16 we see that Natsuki has a budding girlfriend:boyfriend relationship with a neighbor boy, and that she works part time in a flower shop.
