10	[[caption-width-right:350:Huuh?! It sounds like you're talking, but all I hear is random noise!]]
11	A short, boyish girl who starts every day with a frown. Hangs out with Yokoe constantly, despite the two of them bickering with pretty much every line of dialogue.
12	-----
13	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: She spends the whole first chapter scoffing, rolling her eyes, and snapping at Yokoe, but she still gives a little smile when she sees they're in the same class. It's immediately followed by her turning to face Yokoe with the world's most exasperated expression.
14	* HeightAngst: Very insecure about the fact that she's only 151cm.
15	* HiddenBuxom: She's easily mistaken for a boy...while she has a shirt on. Once it comes off, there's no mistaking she is ''very definitely'' female.
16	* LadyLooksLikeADude: Her introductory text reminds the reader she is--despite appearances--a girl.
17	* PerpetualFrowner: Always sports a scowl. Then again, her best friend is ''Yokoe'', so it's to be expected.
18	* {{Tsundere}}: She's somewhat irritable and doesn't let on that she cares for Yokoe much- notice that she calls Yokoe by her last name while Yokoe calls Kei by her first name. Despite that, in Chapter 89, she admits that she likes it when Yokoe is herself, albeit while saying that it's "embarrassing" to have to say that out loud.

24	[[caption-width-right:350:Kei-chan, you... really love me, don't you?]]
25	A tall and gorgeous birdbrain. She's harbored a crush on Kei since middle school, but prefers teasing her to confessing her feelings.
26	-----
27	* CantTieHisTie: A rare female example. She's utterly hopeless at tying her tie, to the point of nearly strangling herself, so she needs Kei's help.
28	* CustomUniform: Her school uniform is a black button-up shirt with a gray tie, but Yokoe never wears the tie and leaves her collar unbuttoned. One chapter reveals she keeps the tie stuffed inside her pocket for emergencies.
29	* TheDitz: Normally very dumb, but on occasion she'll slip into what the others call an "anaphylactic shock". She turns into a drooling idiot who wears box lids as a hat and praises the sun for shining on the wheat her cookies were made from.
30	* TheGadfly: She prefers being a gadfly to being honest with Kei about her feelings. She almost confessed in middle school, but when she saw how uncomfortable it made Kei, she's been playing up the homoeroticism as a joke ever since.
31	* {{Gayngst}}: Is in love with Kei, but Kei looked uncomfortable with the idea of homosexuality in middle school, so Yokoe's been bottling her feelings up ever since.
32	* NotAMorningPerson: The series begins with her in bed, her eyes snapping open as Kei mashes the doorbell. Kei's first line is complaining about her oversleeping again. When Yokoe finally drags her ass to the door, she convinces the put-upon Kei to give her five more minutes. Once Kei relents, Yokoe cheerily tacks on another five minutes with a sweet smile.

38	[[caption-width-right:350:...I'm shocked that two girls would put on such a sad display.]]
39	The stern, wry, sometimes mischievous third wheel to Kei and Rei's antics. She has her own subplot as president of the Film Studies Club.
40	-----
41	* AsleepInClass: According to her profile in vol. 5, she always sleeps in class yet she never gets caught -- nobody can actually tell, because ''her eyes are always closed''.
42	* EyesAlwaysShut: In keeping with her shrewd, reserved personality, and her penchant for teaching Yokoe tricks that piss Kei off.
43	* {{Fangirl}}: Chapter 90 refers to her as a "pretty girl sommelier"[[note]] ''a trained wine specialist''[[/note]], because calling her an idol otaku is apparently too gauche. According to her profile in vol. 5, she regularly attends handshake events.
44	* TheMatchmaker: In her wry, peculiar way, she's often dispensing advice to Yokoe, Sugiura, and Tsubaki to help them work out their relationship issues.
45	* SkinshipGrope: She's not shy about coping a feel off Sugiura in the locker room, and offering a handful of her own in return.

51	[[caption-width-right:350:This... This is how people stray from the righteous path... I'm going to turn myself in.]]
52	A classmate of Yatsude's who grapples with ethics and the philosophy of good deeds whilst engaged in the Sisyphean task of winning a stuffed animal from a crane game.
53	-----
54	* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Fuji always looks like she's about to either pass out or pull out a knife and stab somebody. And according to chapter 64, it's not sleep deprivation--she's looked that way since she was a little girl.
55	* HonorBeforeReason: Even after sinking 80,000 yen into a crane game and losing every single time, Fuji staunchly refuses to accept the arcade clerk's offer to just give her the prize. Even when the clerk tries it herself, wins, and ''gives Fuji the stuffed rabbit'', Fuji storms out the door while declaring that if she doesn't win it herself, it's meaningless. She pledges, "I will be back!"
56	* IveComeTooFar: Fuji declares it on her umpteenth attempt to win a stuffed animal from a crane game, despite losing 80,000 yen so far.
57	* LoserProtagonist: Although most of the characters are losers in one way or another, Fuji is a loser in the literal sense. She's blown all her money on a single crane game and got nothing, only for the clerk to give it a go and win on the first try. Despite her obvious lack of luck or talent, Fuji remains committed to winning the stuffed animal by herself.
58	* {{Miko}}: Per the vol. 5 bio, she lives at a shrine and helps out.
59	* UnknowinglyInLove: Is too stupid to realize she's in love with Kishiya-san, despite Negoro repeatedly prompting her to recognize her feelings.

63	!!Hinase Tsubaki
64	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiiragis.jpeg]]
65	[[caption-width-right:350:I should try not to get in their way... Why... Why am I always like this?]]
66	Yatsude's kouhai in the Film Studies Club. A shy, quiet, nervous girl in class, and a pathetic sis-con[[note]] ''"sister complex", somebody who has incestuous feelings for their sister''[[/note]] at home.
67	-----
68	* CovertPervert: Apparently, she keeps voyeur photos of her own sister in her wallet.
69	* CuteBookworm: Tsubaki is described by others as being very pretty, and when Tsubaki had an awkward day out with Hinako her first suggestion for what to do was going to the library. When the gyaru Hinako was mortified at the idea, Tsubaki then brought up going to the bookstore.
70	* TheIngenue: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. She appears this way to Yatsude and Kaname, but at home she makes awkward, uncomfortable attempts to seduce her own sister that end with her (Tsubaki) in tears from her sister's savage verbal beatdowns.
71	* NoSocialSkills: Riddled with anxiety and low self-esteem.
72	* {{Twincest}}: Is hoping it'll happen, but since her sister hates her, it's not likely. When her sister cornered her and announced that school may suck, but at least she doesn't have to be around Tsubaki, Tsubaki was just hot and bothered she got a [[WallPinOfLove kabedon]].

75	[[folder: Yamashiro Kaname]]
76	!!Yamashiro Kaname
77	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaname_2.png]]
78	[[caption-width-right:350:Do something funny, Piyoko. If you don't, you'll owe me 10,000 yen.]]
79	A classmate of Tsubaki who takes a liking to her. A GyaruGirl who enthusiastically toys with people for her own amusement.
80	-----
81	* CuteAndPsycho: Directly from the author in Kaname's vol. 5 profile:
82	--> '''Ningiyau''': A while ago I bought a book about psychopaths for future reference and it had a lot of things to say about Kaname-chan.
83	* TheGadfly: Never met a situation she can't throw a monkey wrench into.
84	* GenkiGirl: Always excitable, never containable. She beams with a smile and drapes herself over Kaname, and takes a shine to Tsubaki just because she's cute.
85	* TheMatchmaker: Even though she acts like a troll, her actions end up pushing Tsubaki and Hinako closer together. Whether it's ''intentional'' is--like so many things with the flighty Kaname--ambiguous to the extreme.
86	* MinorLivingAlone: Her profile in vol. 5 states her parents work overseas, so she has the apartment all to herself.
87	* NotAMorningPerson: In chapters 70-72, she set up a get together with her, Hinako, and Tsubaki. She never showed up, forcing Hinako and Tsubaki to spend the day together. It occasionally cut back to Kaname dozing in bed. According to Tsubaki's inner monologue, Kaname is ''famous'' for oversleeping.
88	* TokenMinority: {{Inverted\|trope}}. Despite being a character in a yuri manga, her vol. 5 bio states one of her likes is "hot guys", making her the Token Straight.

94	[[caption-width-right:350:That's going to overlap with mine.]]
95	A classmate of Tsubaki and friend to Kaname.
96	-----
97	* ClingyJealousGirl: Per the author's profile in vol. 5, once Hinako gloms onto somebody she "monopolizes" them to the point she becomes bothersome.
98	* DefrostingIceQueen: Initially can't stand Tsubaki, but thanks to Kaname's ''eccentricities'' they end up becoming sort-of friends.
99	* HairTriggerTemper: Liable to explode at the drop of a hat whenever she's frustrated.
100	* GyaruGirl: Forms a little gyaru posse with Kaname.

107	[[caption-width-right:350:Hey you! I can see you! How far are you planning to follow me!? Are you a stalker!?]]
108	Tsubaki's sullen, short-tempered twin sister.
109	-----
110	* GamerGirl: Usually seen lounging about her slovenly room with a [=PSP=].
111	* HairTriggerTemper: Liable to explode like a stick of dynamite at the first sign of discomfort.
112	* NoSocialSkills: Doesn't get along with her classmates because of how brusque and angry she is.
113	* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: She developed self-esteem issues because of unfavorable comparisons to Tsubaki. She went to a different school to create an identity for herself, but the attitude she took with her doesn't make her any more popular.

117	!!Utsugi Ren
118	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/utsugi_1.png]]
119	[[caption-width-right:350:You don't mind, do you? Alright, it's decided!]]
120	A bubbly, dimwitted space case who will stop at nothing to befriend Hiiragi.
121	-----
122	* AnimalMotif: She's excitable and energetic, ties her bangs up so they look like floppy rabbit ears, has a surname that sounds like ''rabbit'' in Japanese, and sometimes wears a shirt with a smiling bunny and the text "Happy Usa" on it.
123	* CustomUniform: Doesn't wear the vest or tie that are part of her uniform, and always has her dress shirt unbuttoned to expose her T-shirt. She looks more like a grade schooler in street clothes than a high school student.
124	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied. A picture of her from the past shows she wasn't always so energetic and cheerful; she gives the camera a dead, glassy stare and a pursed frown, totally at odds with her current behavior.
125	* TheDitz: Acts like she's half her age.
126	* NewTransferStudent: She transferred to Hiiragi's school mid-semester, and took a shine to Hiiragi on her first day. May also count a ''mysterious'' transfer student--chapter 56 ends with her portrait in her medical file, and she looks like a complete BrokenBird, prompting the question of '''why''' she transferred schools in the first place.

133	The school nurse, and the focus of Hiiragi's misplaced affection.
134	-----
135	* ApatheticTeacher: Her patience has been worn thin by Hiiragi feigning injuries to get out of class and hang out in the infirmary. She also smokes cigarettes on the balcony outside the infirmary, insinuating she doesn't care that much about staying healthy.
136	* LadyLooksLikeADude: Often gets confused for a man, per her vol. 5 bio.

143	The student council president.
144	-----
145	* MoralGuardians: Dedicated to restoring public morals by rigorously enforcing the dress code (which Utsugi flagrantly violates).

153	A young woman who works at the game center Fuji frequents.
154	----
155	* ApatheticClerk: Inwardly, yes. But she puts on a fake smile and does the job, deluding Fuji into thinking she's a paragon of virtue.
156	* FirstNameBasis: While trying to remember Fuji's first name, she blurts it out, causing Fuji to address her by her first name as well.
157	* InstantFanClub: Shs's so pretty that adoring high school girls fawn over her.
158	* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Despite holding a job and acting far more mature than Fuji, she's only a first year high school student.]]
159	* SoulSuckingRetailJob: Absolutely hates working in a game center.

166	A stoic girl who attends Seiren Academy alongside Yuka.
167	----
168	* EmotionlessGirl: In her vol. 5 profile, Ningiyau states conversations with her resemble talking to Siri.
169	* IronicName: Her name, Akane, means "deep red", and yet she is the quintessential [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]].
