Ema Hinata
- Voiced by: Rina Sato (Japanese), Colleen Clinkenbeard (English)
The main heroine. Daughter of a renowned explorer who often works overseas for long stretches of time, she is used to fending for herself. Upon the start of her second year of high school, however, her father remarries and she moves in with her thirteen newly gained stepbrothers.
- Affectionate Nickname:
- Ema's classmate and friend, Maho, refers to her as "Hina". This is very convenient since it's a shortened version of both her maiden name, "Hinata" and her new family name, "Asahina".
- Both Louis and Juli call her "Chi".
- Audience Surrogate: To the point where she unfortunately gets little characterization of her own.
- Babies Ever After: Depending on the route.

- Hidden Depths: She likes zombie video games.
- In-Series Nickname: She is called "Chi" by Juli.
- Meaningful Rename: A justified version. After her father remarries, her last name had to change from "Hinata" to "Asahina".

Asahina Brothers
Masaomi Asahina
- Voiced by: Kazuyuki Okitsu (Japanese), J. Michael Tatum (English)
The eldest son of the Asahina family. A doctor.
- Afraid of Blood: Despite being a pediatrician.
- Brainy Brunette: Well versed in the knowledge of medicine. Justified since he's a doctor.
- Cool Big Bro: Especially to his youngest brother, Wataru.
- Curtains Match the Window: Masaomi has dark brown eyes and hair.
- Friend to All Children: He loves children and even has a special bond with Wataru.
- Happily Married: In his route with Ema.
- Hospital Hottie: His occupation is a doctor and like his brothers, Masaomi is quite handsome.
- Irony: Despite the fact that Masaomi is a doctor, he does faint at the sight of blood. Virtually every type of doctor has to deal with blood.
- Nice Guy: He's polite, mature, and mellow.
- Older Than They Look: Downplayed. When you compare him to Ukyo and Kaname, he has softer facial features, his voice isn't as deep as them, and he's also shorter than them. This was brought up in the drama cds where it was mentioned he looks pretty young for a 31 year-old.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Though not played for drama. His character bio describes him as calm and rarely getting mad. In the game, it's possible to go through multiple playthroughs without ever seeing his angry sprite. The only time it does come up if one of his brothers (namely the ones in Passionate Pink) tries to interrupt his date with Ema.
- Parental Substitute: He is the typical father figure of the household (considering his age) and looks over Wataru more often than most of the other brothers.
- Strong Family Resemblance: At least according to Miwa. Out of all the brothers, Masaomi resembles their late dad the most.
- Sweet Tooth: He usually has candy with him in his official art.
Ukyo Asahina
- Voiced by: Daisuke Hirakawa (Japanese), Christopher Sabat (English)

- Covert Pervert: He is extremely sexually repressed.

- Has a Type: He used to fancy girls with huge breasts, but changed ever since Ema moved in.
- House Husband: He's the cook of the house, and is frequently seen in an apron.
- Motor Mouth: Downplayed. Ukyo doesn't talk a whole lot, but he can be quite social once he does have someone to talk to.
- Not So Above It All: He realizes in his route he can be hot-blooded and aggressive like Yusuke and Tsubaki.
- Real Men Cook: He is in charge of cooking/making meals.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: Wears some pretty snazzy suits.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Gender-flipped. Because Ema helped him remember that he was an important part in the functioning daily life of the family, and also helped him see that everything he did was appreciated and did not go unnoticed. These small gestures, like welcoming him home, thanking him, letting him know he was missed, eventually made him fall in love with her.
- Smart People Wear Glasses: He wears glasses and is a successful lawyer.
- Strong Family Resemblance: He looks like his mother as they both have blond hair and blue eyes.

Kaname Asahina
- Voiced by: Jun'ichi Suwabe (Japanese), Ian Sinclair (English)
The third son of the Asahina family. A monk.
- Big Brother Instinct: Kaname is very protective over Iori. Justified when it's revealed that Iori is somewhat suicidal.
- Big Little Brother: He is more taller and muscular than his two older brothers, Masaomi and Ukyo.
- The Casanova: Judging by his flirting with Ema, he might be this trope.
- Chick Magnet: He has endless amounts of women chasing after him. Most of his brothers have revealed they are jealous of the fact Kaname is "irresistible" to women and that he has endless amounts of "followers."
- Chivalrous Pervert: A flirt? Yes. A Nice Guy who wouldn't force his feelings on Ema? Correct again.
- Curtains Match the Window: Yellow eyes and blonde hair.
- Dirty Old Monk: He's a monk, but tried to kiss his younger step sister.....the day they met no less!
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: In the Chivalrous Pervert variety; Kaname is described as the "most reliable brother" from Masaomi, the oldest Asahina brother.
- Handsome Lech: A handsome man who loves to flirt with women, including his stepsister.
- Hidden Depths:
- He's a Dirty Old Monk who happens to be a Nice Guy and The Reliable One.
- Kaname is skilled at reading people's feelings.
- Important Haircut: In his route Kaname cuts off his long hair, symbolizing that he has changed from the flirty, casanova monk to a serious, businessman who would do anything for the girl (Ema) he loves.
- Ladykiller in Love: Began as a flirt, but comes to stop when he falls for Ema.
- The Reliable One: Masaomi at one point states that Kaname is the more reliable than himself.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Gender-flipped. Before Ema came to the family, Kaname was infamous for being a playboy, nothing more. However, Ema saw through his "gracious words" to the kind man he was within, even telling him that she knew he was a good person, which was a first for Kaname. The mere fact that she didn't fall for him like other women, and treated him and his brothers with genuine kindness was enough to spark his interest, and he soon found himself ever drawn in by her kind and caring heart.
Hikaru Asahina
Click here to see Hikaru when he's not crossdressing.
- Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)
The fourth son of the Asahina family. A novelist.
- Covert Pervert: In the Christmas Special, he takes a bath with Ema, both of them are naked and nothing happened. He still enjoyed watching her discomfort though. This trope is more obvious in the novel and his route however.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Fiery Redhead: So far Averted.
- Harem Nanny: He keeps track of his brothers' feelings for Ema and teases them about. He even
created a chart with the odds of each one winning her over. In episode 12 he tells Ema that her rejections did not get across completely and how the 'Brothers Conflict' will continue, with him in the fray. - Jerkass: He has a sharp tongue and teases Ema and his brothers mercilessly. In the novels, he attempted to convince his brothers to force themselves on Ema. This earns him a well-deserved punch by Kaname.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite the above, in the end, he is a good person who cares about his family, albeit in an unorthodox manner.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Hikaru is a very handsome guy with long hair. Especially when he isn't crossdressing.

- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: The only one among his brothers to have orange hair and green eyes.

Tsubaki Asahina
- Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (Japanese), Micah Solusod (English)
The fifth son of the Asahina family and the first out of triplets with Azusa and Natsume. A seiyuu.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The beauty to Azusa's brains and Natsume's brawn. Notably the only triplet to have his ears pierced, have dyed his hair multiple times, and likes to go clothes shopping.
- Blue Oni, Red Oni: The playful, aggressive red to Azusa's calm, mature blue.
- Character Development: Once he realizes that he's fallen in love with Ema as a man he becomes increasingly aggressive in his advances towards her. Shown in episode 6, whenever he pushes her down and pins her on the couch before forcefully kissing her. He is also shown to get extremely jealous whenever he sees Ema with one of his other brothers, especially Azusa. However, he later comes to realize that he has to be more considerate of her feelings so as not to hurt her. This causes him to become less forceful with her, but also makes his feelings intensify.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Exhibits this to Ema after they share their first kiss. He asks her where he got the men's scarf (a Christmas present from Natsume) and admitted it "ticked him off".
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Azusa.
- Nice Mean And In Between: He's not mean per say, but he really does pick on and embarrass some of his brothers and can be considered too self-absorbed to an extent.
- Otaku: Is obsessed with imoutos and loves anime and games featuring them.
- Same-Sex Triplets: He, Azusa, and Natusme are triplets with beauty marks and violet eyes.
- Series Mascot: Along side with Azusa. They're usually front and center on the games' cover.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Gender-flipped. Ema helped him to feel needed by someone who wasn't his twin, saying that while Azusa was good at some things, Tsubaki had roles all his own that only he could play. She made him realize that he had to stop comparing himself to Azusa, and just be himself, because it was the things that made him different from his twin that made him unique. She encouraged him in his goals and reignited his passion and drive, but also made him see that there were other people in the world, people that might look at him instead of Azusa. These small actions, that showed how much she cared for him and his brothers, are what eventually make him fall in love with her, and cause him to mature drastically.
- Technicolor Eyes: Tsubaki has violet eyes.
Azusa Asahina
- Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese), Josh Grelle (English)
The sixth son of the Asahina family and the second out of triplets with Tsubaki and Natsume. A seiyuu.
- Alliterative Name: Azusa Asahina. He's the only one in his family to have this.
- All Love Is Unrequited: This could be said for all the Asahina brothers, but Azusa gets a special mention since he explicitly tells Ema that he's fallen in love with her in Tsubaki's route and he knows his feelings are one-sided since Ema is already in love with his twin brother. Subverted if you go for the secret threesome ending.
- Always Someone Better: Unintentionally this to Tsubaki.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The brains to Tsubaki's beauty and Natsume's brawn. As told by Ukyo, Azusa had high marks in high school and could pretty much apply and go to any college he wanted to.
- Blind Without 'Em: He can't see well without his glasses. Tsubaki has poor eyesight too, but to a lesser extent. He tries to convince Azusa to wear contacts like he does, but Azusa finds them very troublesome.
- Blue Oni, Red Oni: The calm, mature blue to Tsubaki's playful, aggressive red.
- Born Lucky: His New Year's event reveals that each year, when the triplets draw fortunes at the shrine, he usually gets good luck while the other two gets bad luck.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Only implied in the games, but actually gets more focus in the novels. He's actually pretty good at a number of activities but feels no real passion towards them. Even in voice acting, which he really likes, he doesn't work as hard as Tsubaki and is still considered the superior seiyuu.
- Covert Pervert: In the Valentine's Day episode, he is seen to be day dreaming about sharing a bath with Ema, and he mistakenly kisses the bowl in front of him, believing it to be Ema in his fantasy.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Tsubaki.
- Insecure Love Interest: He worries that Ema would prefer Tsubaki over him as a partner than him. Thankfully, it gets resolved later in his route.
- Nice Guy: Azusa is very caring. He often thinks about others before himself.
- Nice Mean And In Between: Out of the triplets, he's the nicest of three, since he always looks after his younger brothers and is always considering their feelings. Not unlike Masaomi and Ukyo.
- Player Nudge: In Iori's route, one event has him noticed that Ema seems troubled because of Iori's weird behavior, so he asks if she wants to talk about her issues. If the player selects yes, Azusa will basically tell her that she needs spend time with the family and the problems will eventually be solved. This is the closest the game will hint to getting Iori's good ending.
- Same-Sex Triplets: He, Tsubaki, and Natsume are triplets with beauty marks and violet eyes.
- Series Mascot: Along side with Tsubaki. They're usually front and center on the games' cover.
- Technicolor Eyes: Like Tsubaki and Natsume, Azusa has violet eyes.

- Big Little Brother: He's both the youngest and most muscular (and mature) of the triplets.
- Broken Pedestal: His younger brother, Subaru, used to look up to Natsume because of his skill in sports. However, Natsume realized sports could not give him a better future and quit.

- Most Gamers Are Male: He's part of a videogame company; Ema enjoys the games from his company.
- Nice Mean And In Between: He's in between. He doesn't tease as much as Tsubaki or look after as much as Azusa. He did had a meaningful bond with Subaru, but when they had a falling out, he didn't really do anything to repair that bond.
- Same-Sex Triplets: He, Tsubaki, and Asuza are triplets with beauty marks and violet eyes.
- Smoking Is Cool: Both he and Hikaru look damn good smoking.

When this was proven wrong he, along with the others, was shown to be curious and worried about it once again.
