She tries to pretend to not know how to fight, while mostly beating the guys on her own but making it look like he did it.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: He's just an ordinary student from a well-off family.
* TeenyWeenie: He's implied not to be very impressive down there and feels inadequate about it, especially when he compares it to Ilya's [[GagPenis huge (fake) penis]]. When Mongfa sees him naked, she describes him as "adorable" and he clearly takes it as her teasing him about his size, and clutches his crotch in depression.
* UnluckyEverydude: Asahi is perpetually forced into awkward situations by the will of the universe.
* UnwantedHarem: At first, he's very displeased at having several different "brides" pursuing and living him all at the same time. He eventually comes around.

* ArtificialHuman: By the end of the series, they have their own artificial bodies in the real world.
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Due to them being based on Ai's consciousness, who was in love with Asahi, the experiment was much more successful in making them human-like then anyone expected.
* MsFanservice: They're all played as eye-candy in the story at different points, often being put in {{fanservice}} and perverted scenarios and providing several MaleGaze shots on their bodies.
* MultinationalTeam: They're each from a different country, because each of their [=AIs=] was created in a different country.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: By the end of the series, they evolved so much and gained artificial bodies, and act so human-like that they're indistinguishable from humans.

Asahi's Japanese classmate and one of his potential brides.
----
* TheAce: She excels at anything she tries. Justified, as she's supposed to be a definitive example of a YamatoNadeshiko.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Her extreme jealousy causes her to become a rogue AI.
* BigBadFriend: She's one of the brides and friends with all of them, but her jealousy and possessiveness of Asahi turns her into a {{Yandere}} and she becomes the main antagonist of the show in it's later half.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes start to glow red when her {{Yandere}} side starts manifesting.
* SupremeChef: She's a talented cook, and is in charge of making extravagant meals for Asahi and the rest of the girls.
* TeamMom: Despite not being the oldest, she has a maternal side and often takes care of the other girls in a motherly fashion, such as handling all their cleaning and cooking.
* VirtualGhost: While all 5 of the girls were based on Ai's BrainUploading, she's the most similar to Ai by far, likely due to being the first one that was created. She shares Ai's appearance, voice, and most of her personality.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Is modeled after the ideal Japanese housewife, due to her elegance, maturity, and traditional feminine housekeeping skills.
* {{Yandere}}: Aoi goes mad for love of Asahi, and unlike her predecessor Ai, she wasn't capable of handling it. As a result she tries to trap him in the simulation, force logs off everyone else, and interferes with Yoshio/Yoshino's attempts to contact him. It takes the original Ai upload to get him out of the simulation.

* BoobsOfSteel: Mongfa is the bustiest of the girls and possesses the greatest physical strength.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: She's the bustiest character in the series, earning her both admiration and jealousy from others. Her chest is also constantly a focus of MaleGaze shots and BoobBasedGag.

* CovertPervert: She sometimes discourages the perverted antics of the other girls, but is prone to act like a pervert herself, especially when she gets drunk. When she sees Asahi tied up naked in episode 5, she [[EatingTheEyeCandy takes her time staring]] and even takes pictures.

* DudeMagnet: According to Yoshio, almost every boy in school, and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer a few of the girls]] have a crush on Mongfa.

* LongHairIsFeminine: She's one of the most traditionally feminine characters in the cast, and has waist-long hair.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: She's [[SuperStrength supernaturally strong]], but she has a slender frame with no visible muscles.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She tends to invade people's personal space, as shown in her very first scene when she decides to sit right next to Asahi even though they're on a completely empty train. She has a habit of hugging people unprompted, especially when she's drunk, and tends to subject them to MarshmallowHell.
* OdangoHair: Appropriately for her Chinese origins, her hair is tied in two knots to the sides of her head with a red ribbon, making a pair of buns.
* OneWomanArmy: She is such a capable fighter that she can easily kill a room full of armed {{Mooks}} using only her martial art skills.
* RedBaron: She went by the codename "Bloody Tiger" during her time as a tai chi assassin.

* BoobsOfSteel: Mongfa is the bustiest of the girls and possesses the greatest physical strength.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: She's the bustiest character in the series, earning her both admiration and jealousy from others. Her chest is also constantly a focus of MaleGaze shots and BoobBasedGag.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She tends to invade people's personal space, as shown in her very first scene when she decides to sit right next to Asahi even though they're on a completely empty train. She has a habit of hugging people unprompted, especially when she's drunk, and tends to subject them to MarshmallowHell.
* OdangoHair: Appropriately for her Chinese origins, her hair is tied in two knots to the sides of her head with a red ribbon, making a pair of buns.
