!!Nagasumi Michishio
->'''Voiced by:''' TakahiroMizushima (Japanese), ToddHaberkorn (English)
A high school student from Saitama who nearly drowned during his holiday at Setouchi. He was rescued by Sun and subsequently had to marry her so neither would be executed for breaking the Masquerade.
* ActionSurvivor - Nagasumi only becomes {{badass}} because [[EverythingTryingToKillYou everyone is trying to kill him]].
* {{Ahoge}} - It seems to act as some sort of threat-detecting radar for him.
* AndThisIsFor: Sun, naturally.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In Episode 11 after drinking a health drink that was only meant for mermaids. The affair makes him GenreSavvy because he never trusts a mermaid drink (or drink offered by a mermaid) again.
* BadassNormal: He's a normal human that lives with superpowered mermaids. Most of them try ( and fail) to kill him.
** BadassAbnormal: The mermaids note that he becomes "progessively less human" as the series progresses. This involves: [[AntiMagic resistance to mermaid singing]], a SpiderSense, and the ability to trigger a SuperMode without Sun's Song of Heroes.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Nagasumi gets blasted to the surface of the moon. [[RuleOfFunny They didn't even WANT to try to bring actual physics into play for that one.]]
* ButtMonkey: BIGTIME. He's the source of almost all the show's slapstick humor, with Saru filling in the rest.
* CherryBlossoms: Episode 26 shows you can get them for playing too much with Setouchi.
* FanNickname: Na'''GAR'''sumi.
* NiceGuy: Matures into this for Sun. At the start he was kinda of a brat.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Gets dragged into this kind of situations A LOT. It doesn't help that drying off a mermaid's legs (the only way they can resume human form) looks like rubbing her thighs.
* OnlySaneMan: "Am I the only one who thinks this is a little weird?" Everyone else takes the weirdness in stride.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: He is normal at the starts of the series but is clearly part of the Seto Gang by the end.
* RadialAssKicking: He does this during Episode 8 while affected by Sun's Song of Heroes.
* SacredFirstKiss: And the show WON'T let you forget it.
* SecretKeeper: For Sun and later the mermaid world as a whole.
* SpiderSense: By the fifth episode, he's dodging Maki's attacks in his sleep. He can also use it to detect whe someones about to break TheMasquerade.
* SuplexFinisher: He does this to Shark Fujishiro when he is attacked during the festival.
* ThePowerOfLove: His voice [[spoiler: reached Sun despite her being drugged]] and immediately afterward [[spoiler: activated the SuperMode without Sun's Song to power him up.]] "I don't need it. Just being near you fills me with unlimited power!"
* TookALevelInBadass: Pretty weak in most episodes but steps up in the finale.
** [[spoiler: BulletCatch: The OhCrap face it inspires in the BigBad is fantastic.]]
* UnwantedHarem: Sun, her Mom (though she's more of a ShipperOnDeck for her daughter that's [[ItAmusedMe having fun at his expense]]), Lunar, Mawari, and Class Rep.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: The famous "Shark Suplex".
!!Sun Seto
->'''Voiced by:''' HalkoMomoi (Japanese), AlexisTipton (English)
The daughter of Gozaburo & Ren Seto, the leaders of the Seto Clan. She saved Nagasumi's life, but in doing so broke the [[TheMasquerade mermaid's code of secrecy]]. Rather than having one of them die, Sun [[TakeAThirdOption went with a third option]] in marrying him.
* ActionGirl: In the words of her fiance: "Once she gets a sword in her hands she's like a completely different person".
* BadassAdorable: She's sweet and clumsy but also her father's daughter.
* BettyAndVeronica: She is the Veronica to Mawari and the Betty to Lunar.
* {{Catchphrase}}: The alternate way of reading 'Ninkyo'(Chivalry)...is 'Ningyo' (Mermaid)!
** "Because honor among thieves is honor under the sea!" in the english dub.
* CherryBlossoms
** [[ItRunsInTheFamily She gets it from her mom]].
* CuteClumsyGirl: Especially when she's nervous. Quite a problem when water turns her back into a mermaid.
* [[spoiler: DistressedDamsel: In the climax.]]
* FirstGirlWins: First girl introduced.
* HighPressureEmotion
* InstantFanClub: Latent until Lunar showed up. Then suddenly she had her own militant faction that was willing to kill her fiance for more of her attention.
* MafiaPrincess
* MagicMusic: She demonstrates the power to put people to sleep and send Nagasumi into SuperMode.
* [[MegatonPunch Megaton]] [[MakeMeWannaShout Voice]]
* PunnyName
* SeashellBra: Most notably in her first appearance.
* SongOfCourage: One of her songs is the "Song of Heroes' which can empower Nagasumi.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sun/San
* TestosteronePoisoning: In Episode 22. Her getup, which consists of a "military officer" beard, a deliquent outfit and proclaiming RealMenEatMeat is both cringe-worthy and funny.
* YamatoNadeshiko: She's big on family tradition and the family business, as well as being very devoted to her fiancé.
* ZettaiRyouiki: When wearing her school uniform.

!!Mawari Zenigata
->'''Voiced by:''' RikaMorinaga (Japanese), CaitlinGlass (English)
* TheBeastMaster: She can summon a horde of cats with a whistle. These ''are'' beasts in the eyes of merfolk. Also subverted because though she can summon them she can't really control them.
-->'''Saru''': ''I had no idea Mawari had gotten so good at controlling caaatttssss!''
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Must Mawari teach you the rules of society?"
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She's a long-time friend of Nagasumi, and harbors a crush on him.
* ControlFreak: She's called the "Demonic" head of the Disipline Comittee for a reason
* GenkiGirl: She pursues her "Sense of Justice" with great energy!
* LawfulStupid: Played for laughs. Due to her desire to be a "good cop", she tries to be LawfulGood, but due to her overzealousness, she veers towards this instead.
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Even shares the LupinTheThird inspector's surname.
* ThirdPersonPerson
!!Hideyoshi Sarutobi (Saru)
->'''Voiced by:''' MasashiYabe (Japanese)
* AStormIsComing: Plays this trope to perfection in Episode 8 in his 'hermit' mode.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: He attempts one in Episode 17 but fails.
* BromanticFoil
* ButtMonkey: Even more so than Nagasumi.
* {{Expy}}: Of Hideyoshi from TheLawOfUeki, they even share the same given name.
* HotbloodedSideburns: In a perverted fashion.
* HypercompetentSidekick: For Kai. Interestingly, he becomes hypercompetent by ''becoming'' Kai's sidekick. Otherwise he's just a preverted monkey...
* {{Keet}}
!!Lunar Edomae
->'''Voiced by:''' SakuraNogawa (Japanese)
* AlwaysSecondBest: Feels this way about herself in comparison to Sun because Sun always beat her in singing contests growing up.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Her stage persona is {{kawaiiko}} to appeal to fans. If you dig beneath that she's a Jerkass, but if you dig beneath ''that'' (as Nagasumi's mom did) she's sweet again.
* BookDumb: To the point that all of her tests are zeros on one occasion.
* ButNotTooForeign
* DisproportionateRetribution: Just because she [[spoiler:lost a singing concert to Sun when they were both children]] she tries to ruin Sun's life.
* {{Expy}}: She is similar to [[{{Disgaea}} Etna]] in appearance and personality.
* Has a MissingMom.
* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Offstage, she can often be a [[BitchInSheepsClothing pain to deal with]]. However, onstage and/or while on camera, she puts up a GenkiGirl facade.
* IdolSinger: Number 1 in Japan. She did it to prove her superiority to Sun.
* InstantFanClub: Deconstructed.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She thinks Sun married Nagasumi to flaunt this fact in her face, disregarding the whole 'marry into the mermaid family or die' thing.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She acts haughty and abrasive to everyone but there's a NiceGirl underneath it all.
* LackOfEmpathy
* LoveEpiphany: At first Lunar was going to marry Nagasumi solely because she was "stealing" him away from Sun. But after Nagasumi gives a passionate speech to her dad, she seems to genuinely fall for him.
* MafiaPrincess: Her dad is the head of the Edomae gang.
* MagicMusic: Her favorite is the "Song of War" Which turns its audience into mindless warriors.
* MistressAndServantBoy: She tries to force Nagasumi into one of these relationships.
* NoblewomansLaugh
* TheOjou: From her dad's status ''and'' her own as a pop star she's treated like nobility.
* RoyalWe: The only time she ever speaks in the singular is when Nagasumi teaches her a lesson in humility.
* SchoolgirlRival: To Sun over singing contests, love interest, and their fan clubs.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Lunar/Luna/Runa
* UnknownRival: For Sun, who thinks they're best friends. [[spoiler: They're at least VitriolicBestBuds late in the series.]]
* {{Yandere}}: How much it was for Nagasumi's love and how much was to one-up Sun is up for debate but she certainly had extreme measures.
** {{Tsundere}}: Mellows in the second half of the series into this, for both Nagasumi ''and'' Sun. For the former, she'll openly flirt but violently deny actually liking him. For the latter we have this gem:
-->--''We rearranged our schedule to see you, but don't get the wrong idea! Its not because we wanted to have fun with you!"
* ZettaiRyouiki: Hers are black for the added contrast to Sun's white.
!!Class President
->'''Voiced by:''' NorikoRikimaru (Japanese)
* BeautifulAllAlong: [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/class_president.jpg before]] and [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/classpresidentafter.jpg after]].
* BlindWithoutEm
* ClassRepresentative: Everyone thinks this is her name.
* CovertPervert: When she says the Nagasumi has become more manly (episode 15), the two incidents she sites involve him being naked.
* DroppedGlasses: In episode 15.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: She is never referred to by her real name (much as she wants to be), only 'Iincho'.
* FauxYay - The Class President pretends to be a lesbian to overcome her shyness.
* {{Meganekko}} - Inverted in that her glasses [[BeautifulAllAlong hide her attractiveness]] rather than produce it. Debatably, although it looks like her character design budget was doubled for [[DroppedGlasses Episode 15]].
* ShrinkingViolet: Painfully shy, and to make it worse, the one time she build the courage to overcome it, she ended up [[spoiler:confessing her love to ''Sun'' by accident.]]
* TransformationSequence: Near the end of episode 21 into "Last Amazoness".
!!Kai Mikawa
->'''Voiced by:''' DaisukeOno (Japanese), EricVale (English)
* CoolSword: One with a long history, but he doesn't get to use it until the climax.
* {{Hikikomori}}: After a traumatic experience in a vast desert when he was young, he has developed a severe case of agoraphobia and never truly went outdoors until transferring to Nagasumi's class. The term is mentioned in his joint ImageSong with Saru.
* LonelyRichKid: He's in love with Sun because she didn't care about money or status. That and she played a weird version of house with him.
* [[RichBitch Rich Bastard]]: He uses money to solve his problems. Sun calls him out on this in the first episode and he gets a little better about it.
* MistakenForDying: In Episode 24.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney
* ShonenHair
!!Akeno Shiranui
->'''Voiced by:''' EriKitamura (Japanese)
* ActionGirl: Cold, driven and very good with a sword.
* AntiVillain: Type 5. While she is a antagonist to the main pair, if she didn't do her job there would be more problems for everyone.
* BigBrotherWorship: Adored her older brother and wants to be like him.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "How vexing."
** PhraseCatcher: Was referred to multiple times as 'vexingly sexy' for an episode.
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: She was a villain starting out with her mermaid exam but switches to Nagasumi's side in the climax.]]
* MagicSkirt: During her swordfight with Sun.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: As a trainee swordsman she has to obey nobles but as a good person she has to disobey one. [[spoiler: She choose to be [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight good]].]]

* HenpeckedHusband: It becomes '''painfully''' clear in a few episodes that it is ''Ren'' who is the true ruler of the Seto Yakuza clan, '''not''' Gozaburo.
* KnightTemplarParent /OverprotectiveDad: He inflitrates Nagasumi's school and sends assassins.
* TearsOfBlood: When Sun decided to live with Nagasumi.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Cats]]: He still has a fear of cats because of an incident in his childhood where a cat bit his ear while he was sleeping and he nearly lost it due to the resulting infection.
!!Ren Seto
->'''Voiced by:''' MakikoNabei (Japanese)
* CherryBlossoms
* HappilyMarried: Despite how much Gozaburo's antics anger her she really does love him. Case in point: when Nagasumi drank the love potion she gave him, and she called him 'extremely sexy', Nagasumi looks a lot like her husband in her eyes.
* HotMom
* LetHerGrowUpDear: In contrast to her husband she is a ShipperOnDeck for her daughter and Nagasumi. She's very happy about the the intimacy in their relationship. [[ChastityCouple If they moved beyond hugging and hand holding.]]

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: With little fishies on them.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Nearly all his scences involve him trying to eat Nagasumi or asking if he can eat the other students. This would make him a villain if he weren't (technically) allied to Nagasumi against people like Lunar Papa and if his antics weren't played for laughs.
* [[TheOnlyOneAllowedtoDefeatYou The Only One Allowed to Eat You]]: Towards Nagasumi.

** BadassAbnormal: The mermaids note that he becomes "progessively less human" as the series progresses. This involves: [[AntiMagic resistance to mermaid singing]], a SpiderSense, and the ability to trigger a SuperMode without Sun's Song of Heroes.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Nagasumi gets blasted to the surface of the moon. [[RuleOfFunny They didn't even WANT to try to bring actual physics into play for that one.]]
* ButtMonkey: BIGTIME. He's the source of almost all the show's slapstick humor, with Saru filling in the rest.
* CherryBlossoms: Episode 26 shows you can get them for playing too much with Setouchi.
* FanNickname: Na'''GAR'''sumi.
* NiceGuy: Matures into this for Sun. At the start he was kinda of a brat.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Gets dragged into this kind of situations A LOT. It doesn't help that drying off a mermaid's legs (the only way they can resume human form) looks like rubbing her thighs.
* OnlySaneMan: "Am I the only one who thinks this is a little weird?" Everyone else takes the weirdness in stride.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: He is normal at the starts of the series but is clearly part of the Seto Gang by the end.
* RadialAssKicking: He does this during Episode 8 while affected by Sun's Song of Heroes.
* SacredFirstKiss: And the show WON'T let you forget it.
* SecretKeeper: For Sun and later the mermaid world as a whole.
* SpiderSense: By the fifth episode, he's dodging Maki's attacks in his sleep. He can also use it to detect whe someones about to break TheMasquerade.
* SuplexFinisher: He does this to Shark Fujishiro when he is attacked during the festival.
* ThePowerOfLove: His voice [[spoiler: reached Sun despite her being drugged]] and immediately afterward [[spoiler: activated the SuperMode without Sun's Song to power him up.]] "I don't need it. Just being near you fills me with unlimited power!"
* TookALevelInBadass: Pretty weak in most episodes but steps up in the finale.
** [[spoiler: BulletCatch: The OhCrap face it inspires in the BigBad is fantastic.]]
* UnwantedHarem: Sun, her Mom (though she's more of a ShipperOnDeck for her daughter that's [[ItAmusedMe having fun at his expense]]), Lunar, Mawari, and Class Rep.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: The famous "Shark Suplex".
!!Sun Seto
->'''Voiced by:''' HalkoMomoi (Japanese), AlexisTipton (English)
The daughter of Gozaburo & Ren Seto, the leaders of the Seto Clan. She saved Nagasumi's life, but in doing so broke the [[TheMasquerade mermaid's code of secrecy]]. Rather than having one of them die, Sun [[TakeAThirdOption went with a third option]] in marrying him.
* ActionGirl: In the words of her fiance: "Once she gets a sword in her hands she's like a completely different person".
* BadassAdorable: She's sweet and clumsy but also her father's daughter.
* BettyAndVeronica: She is the Veronica to Mawari and the Betty to Lunar.
* {{Catchphrase}}: The alternate way of reading 'Ninkyo'(Chivalry)...is 'Ningyo' (Mermaid)!
** "Because honor among thieves is honor under the sea!" in the english dub.
* CherryBlossoms
** [[ItRunsInTheFamily She gets it from her mom]].
* CuteClumsyGirl: Especially when she's nervous. Quite a problem when water turns her back into a mermaid.
* [[spoiler: DistressedDamsel: In the climax.]]
* FirstGirlWins: First girl introduced.
* HighPressureEmotion
* InstantFanClub: Latent until Lunar showed up. Then suddenly she had her own militant faction that was willing to kill her fiance for more of her attention.
* MafiaPrincess
* MagicMusic: She demonstrates the power to put people to sleep and send Nagasumi into SuperMode.
* [[MegatonPunch Megaton]] [[MakeMeWannaShout Voice]]
* PunnyName
* SeashellBra: Most notably in her first appearance.
* SongOfCourage: One of her songs is the "Song of Heroes' which can empower Nagasumi.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sun/San
* TestosteronePoisoning: In Episode 22. Her getup, which consists of a "military officer" beard, a deliquent outfit and proclaiming RealMenEatMeat is both cringe-worthy and funny.
* YamatoNadeshiko: She's big on family tradition and the family business, as well as being very devoted to her fiancé.
* ZettaiRyouiki: When wearing her school uniform.

[[folder: Classmates]]
!!Mawari Zenigata
->'''Voiced by:''' RikaMorinaga (Japanese), CaitlinGlass (English)
* TheBeastMaster: She can summon a horde of cats with a whistle. These ''are'' beasts in the eyes of merfolk. Also subverted because though she can summon them she can't really control them.
-->'''Saru''': ''I had no idea Mawari had gotten so good at controlling caaatttssss!''
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Must Mawari teach you the rules of society?"
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She's a long-time friend of Nagasumi, and harbors a crush on him.
* ControlFreak: She's called the "Demonic" head of the Disipline Comittee for a reason
* GenkiGirl: She pursues her "Sense of Justice" with great energy!
* LawfulStupid: Played for laughs. Due to her desire to be a "good cop", she tries to be LawfulGood, but due to her overzealousness, she veers towards this instead.
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Even shares the LupinTheThird inspector's surname.
* ThirdPersonPerson
!!Hideyoshi Sarutobi (Saru)
->'''Voiced by:''' MasashiYabe (Japanese)
* AStormIsComing: Plays this trope to perfection in Episode 8 in his 'hermit' mode.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: He attempts one in Episode 17 but fails.
* BromanticFoil
* ButtMonkey: Even more so than Nagasumi.
* {{Expy}}: Of Hideyoshi from TheLawOfUeki, they even share the same given name.
* HotbloodedSideburns: In a perverted fashion.
* HypercompetentSidekick: For Kai. Interestingly, he becomes hypercompetent by ''becoming'' Kai's sidekick. Otherwise he's just a preverted monkey...
* {{Keet}}
!!Lunar Edomae
->'''Voiced by:''' SakuraNogawa (Japanese)
* AlwaysSecondBest: Feels this way about herself in comparison to Sun because Sun always beat her in singing contests growing up.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Her stage persona is {{kawaiiko}} to appeal to fans. If you dig beneath that she's a Jerkass, but if you dig beneath ''that'' (as Nagasumi's mom did) she's sweet again.
* BookDumb: To the point that all of her tests are zeros on one occasion.
* ButNotTooForeign
* DisproportionateRetribution: Just because she [[spoiler:lost a singing concert to Sun when they were both children]] she tries to ruin Sun's life.
* {{Expy}}: She is similar to [[{{Disgaea}} Etna]] in appearance and personality.
* Has a MissingMom.
* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Offstage, she can often be a [[BitchInSheepsClothing pain to deal with]]. However, onstage and/or while on camera, she puts up a GenkiGirl facade.
* IdolSinger: Number 1 in Japan. She did it to prove her superiority to Sun.
* InstantFanClub: Deconstructed.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She thinks Sun married Nagasumi to flaunt this fact in her face, disregarding the whole 'marry into the mermaid family or die' thing.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She acts haughty and abrasive to everyone but there's a NiceGirl underneath it all.
* LackOfEmpathy
* LoveEpiphany: At first Lunar was going to marry Nagasumi solely because she was "stealing" him away from Sun. But after Nagasumi gives a passionate speech to her dad, she seems to genuinely fall for him.
* MafiaPrincess: Her dad is the head of the Edomae gang.
* MagicMusic: Her favorite is the "Song of War" Which turns its audience into mindless warriors.
* MistressAndServantBoy: She tries to force Nagasumi into one of these relationships.
* NoblewomansLaugh
* TheOjou: From her dad's status ''and'' her own as a pop star she's treated like nobility.
* RoyalWe: The only time she ever speaks in the singular is when Nagasumi teaches her a lesson in humility.
* SchoolgirlRival: To Sun over singing contests, love interest, and their fan clubs.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Lunar/Luna/Runa
* UnknownRival: For Sun, who thinks they're best friends. [[spoiler: They're at least VitriolicBestBuds late in the series.]]
* {{Yandere}}: How much it was for Nagasumi's love and how much was to one-up Sun is up for debate but she certainly had extreme measures.
** {{Tsundere}}: Mellows in the second half of the series into this, for both Nagasumi ''and'' Sun. For the former, she'll openly flirt but violently deny actually liking him. For the latter we have this gem:
-->--''We rearranged our schedule to see you, but don't get the wrong idea! Its not because we wanted to have fun with you!"
* ZettaiRyouiki: Hers are black for the added contrast to Sun's white.
!!Class President
->'''Voiced by:''' NorikoRikimaru (Japanese)

* ClassRepresentative: Everyone thinks this is her name.
* CovertPervert: When she says the Nagasumi has become more manly (episode 15), the two incidents she sites involve him being naked.
* DroppedGlasses: In episode 15.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: She is never referred to by her real name (much as she wants to be), only 'Iincho'.
* FauxYay - The Class President pretends to be a lesbian to overcome her shyness.
* {{Meganekko}} - Inverted in that her glasses [[BeautifulAllAlong hide her attractiveness]] rather than produce it. Debatably, although it looks like her character design budget was doubled for [[DroppedGlasses Episode 15]].
* ShrinkingViolet: Painfully shy, and to make it worse, the one time she build the courage to overcome it, she ended up [[spoiler:confessing her love to ''Sun'' by accident.]]
* TransformationSequence: Near the end of episode 21 into "Last Amazoness".
!!Kai Mikawa
->'''Voiced by:''' DaisukeOno (Japanese), EricVale (English)
* CoolSword: One with a long history, but he doesn't get to use it until the climax.
* {{Hikikomori}}: After a traumatic experience in a vast desert when he was young, he has developed a severe case of agoraphobia and never truly went outdoors until transferring to Nagasumi's class. The term is mentioned in his joint ImageSong with Saru.
* LonelyRichKid: He's in love with Sun because she didn't care about money or status. That and she played a weird version of house with him.
* [[RichBitch Rich Bastard]]: He uses money to solve his problems. Sun calls him out on this in the first episode and he gets a little better about it.
* MistakenForDying: In Episode 24.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney
* ShonenHair
!!Akeno Shiranui
->'''Voiced by:''' EriKitamura (Japanese)
* ActionGirl: Cold, driven and very good with a sword.
* AntiVillain: Type 5. While she is a antagonist to the main pair, if she didn't do her job there would be more problems for everyone.
* BigBrotherWorship: Adored her older brother and wants to be like him.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "How vexing."
** PhraseCatcher: Was referred to multiple times as 'vexingly sexy' for an episode.

* MagicSkirt: During her swordfight with Sun.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: As a trainee swordsman she has to obey nobles but as a good person she has to disobey one. [[spoiler: She choose to be [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight good]].]]
* TsurimeEyes
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts]]

!!Gozaburo Seto
->'''Voiced by:''' KentaMiyake (Japanese), JohnSwasey (English)
* GoodScarsEvilScars: On his face. The good kind over the nose.
* HenpeckedHusband: It becomes '''painfully''' clear in a few episodes that it is ''Ren'' who is the true ruler of the Seto Yakuza clan, '''not''' Gozaburo.
* KnightTemplarParent /OverprotectiveDad: He inflitrates Nagasumi's school and sends assassins.
* TearsOfBlood: When Sun decided to live with Nagasumi.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Cats]]: He still has a fear of cats because of an incident in his childhood where a cat bit his ear while he was sleeping and he nearly lost it due to the resulting infection.
!!Ren Seto
->'''Voiced by:''' MakikoNabei (Japanese)
* CherryBlossoms
* HappilyMarried: Despite how much Gozaburo's antics anger her she really does love him. Case in point: when Nagasumi drank the love potion she gave him, and she called him 'extremely sexy', Nagasumi looks a lot like her husband in her eyes.
* HotMom
* LetHerGrowUpDear: In contrast to her husband she is a ShipperOnDeck for her daughter and Nagasumi. She's very happy about the the intimacy in their relationship. [[ChastityCouple If they moved beyond hugging and hand holding.]]
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Level-Headed Person In The Cast Most Of The Time]]
* SchoolNurse: Her excuse to infiltrate the school.
* TheTease: Her favorite target is Nagasumi
!!Masa
->'''Voiced by:''' KatsukiMurase[=/=][[spoiler:ShuichiIkeda]] (Japanese), ChristopherSabat (English)
* BadassInANiceSuit
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Due to [[spoiler: amnesia caused by Gozaburo Seto]] Masa used to act and look completely different, being an easy going [[spoiler: brother of Akeno and looked similar to her]].
* CoolShades
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tWWvBkZ4-M&feature=related Masa-san]] is a sexy beast.

->'''Voiced by:''' NatsukoKuwatani (Japanese), MonicaRial (English)

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Can I eat him/her/them?"
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: With little fishies on them.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Nearly all his scences involve him trying to eat Nagasumi or asking if he can eat the other students. This would make him a villain if he weren't (technically) allied to Nagasumi against people like Lunar Papa and if his antics weren't played for laughs.
* [[TheOnlyOneAllowedtoDefeatYou The Only One Allowed to Eat You]]: Towards Nagasumi.
* VerbalTic: He speaks as if all sentences were questions.
!!Octopus Nakajima
* CurbStompBattle: He loses quite easily against an enlarged Nagasumi.
* {{Kaiju}}

* {{Gonk}}: They look like real fish.
* PaperThinDisguise: One of them [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdresses]] in order to disguise himself and get close enough to deal with Nagasumi's cat. Unfortunately, everyone involved sees through it immediately, because it's kind of hard to disguise yourself when you look like [[http://screenshots.fansub.tv/1014/19/23.jpg this.]]
* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Guys]]
* VerbalTic: All three of them have the exact same one, gyo!
