14	[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makoto_niwa.png]]
15
16	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyuIrino
17	The protagonist and a 16-year-old high school boy who has transferred to Meme and Erio's home city a year prior to the start of the story, due to his parents' work.
18	----
19	* AgentScully
20	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: To Erio and to a lesser extent to Meme.
21	* DeadpanSnarker: Does this often, mostly in response to one of the girls being weird.
22	* FirstPersonSmartass
23	* GenreSavvy
24	* InSeriesNickname: He is still known as "Tenkousei" (NewTransferStudent) a full year after his arrival.
25	* InnerMonologue: In compliance to a long-standing Creator/StudioShaft tradition, he engages in this a lot.
26	* LikesOlderWomen: ZigZagged in several different directions. On one hand, Makoto seems to be attracted to both girls his own age as well as Meme, who is 23 years his senior. On the other hand, he tends to ping-pong between attraction and repulsion towards Meme.
27	* NewTransferStudent: At least one year ago.
28	* NiceGuy: For the most part. He has no hidden agendas while trying to help Erio open up, despite what Yashiro may try to tell him.
29	* NotSoAboveItAll: In episode 3, after Meme leaves his room, the first thing he does is look outside the hallway to make sure no one's there. Then he jumps on his bed and sniffs his pillow where she was laying moments before. She then opens his door and tells him she probably doesn't have much of a scent because she wasn't wearing makeup.
30	* OnlySaneMan: Although he has his fair share of FirstPersonSmartass monologues.

35	[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erio_towa.png]]
36
37	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AsukaOogame
38	Makoto's hitherto unknown cousin and Meme's daughter, who happens to be a very strange girl with a fascination for [=UFOs=].
39	----
40	* AgentMulder: She believes in aliens and [=UFOs=], being convinced they abducted her due to not remembering the six months where she was missing.
41	* BarefootLoon: A delusional {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who goes barefoot.
42	* ButNotTooForeign: She is half-Scottish.
43	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She believes aliens abducted her and wraps herself up in a futon when Makoto first meets her.
44	* CreepyMonotone: Noticeably loses it when Makoto forces her to admit she's a human being.
45	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has cyan hair matching her cyan eyes.
46	* TheCutie
47	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She disappeared for six months, of which she doesn't remember anything. She was found on a beach. Believing herself to be an alien, she breaks her leg trying to fly while on a bike and earns herself a bad reputation for her aggressively-delusional state.
48	* DefrostingIceQueen: Starting as extremely broken, alone, and delusional, she opens up (metaphorically and literally in terms of her futon) and slowly enters society again.
49	* EmotionlessGirl: Starts off acting like this, but Makoto and Meme are GenreSavvy enough to realize when her delusional jargon is really just expressing her feelings.
50	* HairAntennae
51	* {{Hikikomori}}: As much as it's PlayedForLaughs, Erio is a textbook case, reacting to severe trauma by withdrawing from the world. The fact that Makoto looks confused and sasses her instead of [[BystanderSyndrome pointedly ignoring her]] like ''everyone else in her life does -- her mother included --'' is getting her to open up to him, slowly.
52	* LittleGirlsKickShins: She kicks Makoto and her mother in the shin during Makoto's first dinner at their house.
53	* MagicSkirt: Considering how often the camera follows a low angle MaleGaze around her, Erio is lucky for this. There was a pretty unavoidable PantyShot in the first episode, but it was censored with a flying saucer.
54	* NoSocialSkills
55	* TheOphelia: She's a beautiful, delusional, and erratic young girl.
56	* ReiAyanamiExpy: Sparkling blue hair, pale skin, shy and very weird.
57	* SecurityBlanket: She finds it difficult to interact with people without having herself wrapped securely in a futon. Even after getting over the worst of this she finds it soothing.
58	* ShrinkingViolet: Social interaction-wise, after Makoto finally breaks her shell.
59	* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She's a socially withdrawn {{Hikikomori}} with long, cyan hair.
60	* TheoryTunnelvision: Erio was in a tragic accident wherein she went missing for six months and then turned up on a beach without any memory of the intervening time. Her reaction was so bad that she invented a story that she had been abducted by aliens and convinced herself that was the only explanation. After a few months, she tried to test her theory... only to be injured ''again''. But again, because she was far too fragile to face reality, she only drew even further into her fantasy world, to the point of becoming a {{Hikikomori}}. Later, her cousin forcibly proves to her that she isn't an alien, but after an initial highly negative reaction, she seems oddly okay and is even willing to rejoin society again.
61	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pizza.
62	* TokenMiniMoe
63	* VirginInAWhiteDress: Erio often wears a lacy white, sleeveless dress (when she isn't wrapped in a futon, that is). This is to represent her unearthly beauty and pure, childish personality.
64	* TheXenophile

72
73	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka
74	Makoto's aunt and Erio's mother. A vibrant woman of 39 who acts much younger than she is.
75	----
76	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Like mother, like daughter indeed.
77	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has blue hair and matching blue eyes.
78	* GirlishPigtails: Ties her hair up like this sometimes.
79	* HairAntennae
80	* LargeHam: She tends to do this from time to time, such as when she decides to be the coach for the baseball team Makoto plays in.
81	* MumLooksLikeASister: She bore Erio at the marriageable age of 25, but still, would you believe that she's [[OlderThanTheyLook pushing forty]]?
82	* MsFanservice: Due to all the teasing she does to Makoto, and the sometimes revealing outfits she wears.
83	* OlderThanSheLooks: Seriously, Meme ''is'' thirty-nine (later forty) years old with that hot body of hers?
84	* OneOfTheKids: Thinks and acts very much like her daughter's age.
85	* ParentalNeglect: At first, she seems to not even acknowledge her daughter exists and outright tells Makoto to act like she's not there. However, it's later proven that she does care; she just sucks at being a parent.
86	* ParentsAsPeople: Meme ''does'' love her little girl, and the only time she's ever been shown to be serious was when she's thinking about her, but that doesn't stop her from showing she has absolutely '''no''' idea on how to be a parent.
87	* TheTease: She's constantly shamelessly flirting with Makoto (and everyone else).
88	* WomanChild: She behaves much younger than her age.

97	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EmiriKatou
98	Makoto's highly energetic classmate and a member of their school's girls' basketball team.
99	----
100	* ClingyJealousGirl: She shows no reservations on expressing jealousy whenever Makoto hangs around with another girl in her presence. She will also invite Makoto to events, only to suddenly change plans whenever she sees or learns that Erio is tagging along.
101	* CovertPervert
102	* CuteButCacophonic: Don't let Ryuuko cheer for you unless she's standing a good 20 or so feet away. Her "cheering" of Makoto involves her screaming into his ear at the top of her lungs.
103	* CuteLittleFangs
104	* GenkiGirl
105	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted, in that she's a genuinely bubbly kid.
106	* SweetTooth: Fruits to be exact, having confessed of being a vegetarian.
107	* {{Tsundere}}: Pretty far to the deredere side, but it does emerge when she becomes a ClingyJealousGirl
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Maekawa]]
111	!Maekawa
112	[[quoteright:219:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maekawa_san.png]]

115	Another classmate of Makoto who is unusually tall for her age.
116	----
117	* CosplayOtakuGirl
118	* HugeSchoolgirl: She tells Makoto that at 179.9cm, she is a magnet for school clubs, but due to her poor physical health (probably just being out of shape), they quickly lose interest in her.
119	* NoFullNameGiven: Only her surname is known and her given name is never mentioned.
120	* TheTease: While not as much as Meme, she does occasionally invoke this trope, particularly when Ryuuko is around.
121	* ThirdOptionLoveInterest: After Ryuuko and Erio.

124	!Other Students

129
130	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroMizushima
131	A blonde boy Makoto meets while playing baseball.
132	----
133	* LoveConfession: Did one to Ryuuko before the start of the series, only to be turned down. This causes some awkward moments when she sees him playing on the town's baseball team, and he in turn shows up at her basketball game -- even as he is already dating Hanazawa.
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Hanazawa]]
137	!!Hanazawa
138	[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hanazawa_6965.jpg]]

140	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaHanazawa
141	Captain of the local softball team.
142	----
143	* TheAce: The shopping district team, and Makoto especially, are terrified of her pitching skills
144	* {{Determinator}}: While she was winning the preseason games between the city and shopping district baseball teams, she mentions to Makoto that they're constantly losing in the high school games. However, she mentions that she doesn't want to give up, unless their team just loses hope altogether and then possibly get disbanded due to lack of interest from students joining due to their poor track record.
145	* FriendlyEnemy: She is the ace pitcher of the opposing team to the RagtagBunchOfMisfits that make up the shopping district team, yet is never portrayed as anything other than nice and polite to Makoto, Maekawa, or anyone else from the other team who interacts with her.

153
154	->'''Voiced by:''' Hiroku Maruyama

159	* IncurableCoughOfDeath: she's apparently been ill at least since Meme's childhood.

168	Meme's childhood friend, who has returned to his hometown and now spends most of his time launching bottle rockets from an old baseball field.
169	----
170	* AccidentalMisnaming: Meme persists in calling him "Yamamoto," even after he tells her that isn't his name
171	* ChildhoodFriends: He's very old friends with Meme. He would like a ChildhoodFriendRomance, but she rejects him.
172	* RejectedMarriageProposal: When he returns to town after a few years, he immediately asks Meme to marry him. She immediately rejects him.

180
181	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaIguchi
182	A mysterious girl who is frequently seen on a spacesuit.
183	----
184	* AgentMulder: She argues for the existence of the supernatural long after Makoto punctures Erio's fantasies. At points, she almost comes just short of convincing Makoto himself that perhaps life isn't as ordinary as it appears.
185	* ButNowIMustGo
186	* MysticalWhiteHair: Her white hair is one of the traits that make her stand out as a mysterious self-proclaimed esper.
187	* MysteriousWaif: While Makoto treats her like a runaway brat, enough strange things occur when she's around to fit this trope, such as wearing a spacesuit in the middle of summer, along with some [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane other strange coincidences]].
