Karakter & Staf

Sawako Kuronuma

Utama

Female · Umur 15-18 · Gol. darah O

Height: 158 cm (5'2") Sawako is a shy and honest high school girl who in search of friendship, though her resemblance to Sadako from The Ring makes this difficult. Sawako tends to take things too literally and often over-analyzes situations. Her quiet nature makes it hard for her to socialize, and leads to her classmates spreading rumors and having negative misconceptions about her, to the point where many of them think her name is actually Sadako. Fortunately, Sawako is gradually able to open up to her classmates and talk to different people. With help from Kazehaya, Yano, and Yoshida, she gradually begins to make friends.

Mamiko Noto

Shouta Kazehaya

Utama

Male · Gol. darah O

Height: 175 cm (5'9") Kazehaya is Sawako's outgoing classmate and friend. He is so popular that during middle school, so many girls liked him that they formed a "Kazehaya is Everyone's" Alliance in order to maintain some level of peace among his admirers. Kazehaya has held a long standing interest in Sawako and admits (though not to Sawako) that he likes her, unaware that she feels the same for him.

Daisuke Namikawa

Chizuru Yoshida

Utama

Female · Gol. darah A

Height: 167 cm Yoshida Chizuru is another close friend of Sawako. She is the energetic girl of the group.

Yuuko Sanpei

Ayane Yano

Utama

Female · Gol. darah AB

Height: 161 cm Ayane is a close friend of Sawako. She is the arguably the most mature of the group and she has a boyfriend in college as well as having her ears pierced multiple times. Initially the mangaka conceived of Yano and Yoshida as a pair, and in the first two chapters the two are difficult to tell apart. She then redrafted the characters, combing Yano's hair and styling it in a fashion that looks like a pony-tail. In Kurumi's fake rumors, it is said that Ayane has played more with more than 100 guys in middle school. In their current high school, it is said that Yano and Yoshida pretty much have authority in the year group. Perceptive and intelligent, a trait of Ayane's personality is that she gives just enough information to leave others wondering, thus forcing them to move forward, this as well as being able to figure out that it was Ume who spread the rumors and discovering that Sawako "liked" Kazehaya. Although she is usually calm and collected, she is easily infuriated if someone hurts Sawako and does not hesitate to attack the one responsible she believes is responsible (frequently Kazehaya) with kicks and sharp words. She's also fairly intimidating when angry, being called scary by Chizuru a number of times.

Ryuu Sanada

He is nicknamed Pin and always is called that way (except Sawako who obeys the formalities and still calls him Arai-sensei). (The previous homeroom teacher had been said to be sick after he made Sawako do his work during the summer holidays.) He is a great fan of baseball as well as the school baseball team's coach. He used to be part of Shouta Kazehaya's father's league team, so he has known Shouta since when he was young. He had once said that he likes to 'interrupt' people. He nicknames Kazehaya and Sawako's found-beside-the-river puppy Pedro Martinez.
