4	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaUchida
5
6	The main character. Shuri is a sweet girl who loves helping people and is unable to refuse a request for help. Her closest friends as Masako Negishi and Megumi Nishitori, and she nurses an obvious crush on Kurou Ootani since they got to know each other in the 2nd year of middle school.
7
8	Currently a 1st year high school student at East High.
9
10	----
11
12	* TheAce: Shuri has a wide variety of skills, and she is much stronger than she looks. She can do almost anything so long as someone makes a request of her. That said, she's more brute force than finesse, so intricate matters like flower cutting are difficult for her.
13	* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Shuri can't seem to take more than five steps out her own door without someone asking for her help. This is sometimes literal.
14	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: It seems Shuri's inability to deny requests may be rooted from this.
15	* ClingyJealousGirl: She has shades of this in regards to Ootani once she comes to terms with her feelings for him. When she saw him walking with [[DudeLooksLikeALady Yamanaka]], she went into a HeroicBSOD. In a later chapter where Megumi pretends to get close to Ootani, Shuri gives off such a Yandere vibe that Megumi scales back and Masako confesses to Shuri that they were just pranking her.
16	* CoolBigSis: Tries to be one to her younger sister.
17	* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: The opposite to Rino Juse from ''Manga/MyGirlfriendWithoutWasabi''. Unlike Rino who is a rich adult woman with a {{Tsundere}} nature, Shuri is a high school student who, while TheAce just like Rino, suffers from ChronicHeroSyndrome and at some cases she is an ExtremeDoormat who can't decline every request (hence the title). And she's also a HugeSchoolgirl, unlike the much shorter yet adult Rino, who is unusually tall for her age, averaging at the height of 1.8 (6') tall.
18	* CovertPervert: Shuri herself admits that when it comes to Ootani, she's kind of pervy. There are occasionally gags where she has to restrain herself from just dragging him off and having her way with him, especially after they start dating.
19	* DeadpanSnarker: At times, though only around her closest friends.
20	* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: When exams come up and Shuri isn't being asked to help people with them, no one knows what to think about her strange behavior until Ootani clears up that she's bored and feeling empty. He's right on the mark, being that he wants to be relied on but no one does so and thus knows exactly what's going through her head.
21	* ExtremeDoormat: Downplayed, and is Shuri's most notable feature. She can't decline requests (unless it's Megumi asking for homework). In one scene, Shuri can't remember the solution to a particular problem. Negishi-sensei informs her that she answered it correctly earlier, then tries phrasing his words as a request for her to remember. ''[[spoiler:It works.]]''
22	* FirstNameBasis:
23	** She, Masako and Megumi address each other by their first names.
24	** In Chapter 49, she asks Ootani to address her by her first name as well.
25	* GoodFeelsGood: When asked about why she helps people so much, Shuri sometimes admits that she likes being relied on and just enjoys helping.
26	* HiddenDepths: Besides the hints of her CovertPervert nature, there's occasions where she's very much so ''not'' ObliviousToLove, and other occasions where almost like her mother she seems to understand social cues and situations better than the other people around her. This becomes more prevalent later in the manga which she seems to know what to do to help those around her -- even if she can't do so directly.
27	* HugeSchoolgirl: Shuri is notably taller than the other students. Officially she's 1.8m (6') tall, impossibly tall by East Asian standards--and remember, she's ''14''.
28	* NiceGirl: Shuri is a kind girl to the most ridiculous extreme.
29	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Ootani being described as Shuri's boyfriend results in her replying he isn't her boyfriend. "Yet." The "yet" is dropped by the end of Volume 5 when she and Ootani actually start going out.
30	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is spelled SYURI during her bowling match with Masako, Megumi and Ootani.
31	* StepfordSmiler: While she genuinely enjoys helping people, in one chapter Shuri notes that she loves running because when she runs she's on her own and no one can ask her for help.
32	* TeamMom: When Megumi and Masako (''especially'' [[{{Otaku}} Megumi]]) happen to step a little too out of bounds, Shuri's typically there to set them back on the straight path. Others consider this about her as well, though it can be stressful at times for the poor girl.
33	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Shuri is afraid of bugs.
34

36
37	[[folder:Masako Negishi]]
38	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MariaNaganawa
39
40	One of Shuri's best friends. While sarcastic and snarky, she truly values both Shuri and Megumi, and has on several expressed gratitude that they all became friends.
41
42	Currently a 1st year high school student at East High.
43
44	----
45	* ClassRepresentative: In a variation of the norm, she's rather shy and something of an introvert. Given that her older brother is her homeroom teacher, he might have given her the position specifically to help her break out of her shell.
46	* ClingyJealousGirl: She often claims she's just [[TheGadfly joking]] about it but really wouldn't mind living with or having Shuri as a family member, and when the trio are talking about confession season, it's ''[[TheQuietOne Masako]]'' who screams at the top of her lungs that Shuri's not gonna confess to anyone and gets rather irritated about the topic when the girl's involved.
47	* DeadpanSnarker
48	* FirstNameBasis: She, Shuri and Megumi address each other by their first names.
49	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: In a flashback, Masako realises she went through all of elementary school without making a single friend due to preferring to sit in a corner reading than interact with people. She actively decides to change this in middle school, which is how she met Shuri and Megumi.
50	* InTheBlood: Sometimes does things that remind Shuri and Megumi that she really is her sister's sibling.
51	* SingleTargetSexuality: Masako towards Shuri, albeit downplayed in that she keeps it on the down-low. By chapter 44, the subtlety gets thrown out the window when her love preference is asked, though [[ObliviousToLove Komori imagines a large, muscular man rather than herself from the description.]] Also notable in that she still [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy supports Shuri and Ootani.]]
52	* PowerTrio: Forms one with Megumi and Shuri.
53
54	[[/folder]]
55
56	[[folder:Megumi Nishitori]]
57	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AriOzawa
58
59	One of Shuri's best friends. Described as a bright and cheerful girl, Megumi loves anime and manga, and nearly always has a smile on her face.
60
61	Currently a 1st year high school student at East High.
62
63	----
64
65	* BookDumb: Besides English (which she apparently uses all the time at home), her grades are far below Shuri's never mind Masako's.
66	* FirstNameBasis: She, Shuri and Masako address each other by their first names.
67	* GenkiGirl: Downplayed. Shuri and Masako often describe her as 'bright'.
68	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Done for laughs when she puts makeup on Yamanaka-kun as a joke, then comes to the horrified realisation he's cuter than she is.
69	* PowerTrio: Forms one with Masako and Shuri.
70	* ShipTease: With Yamanaka-kun. She admits to Masako and Shuri that they share their worries and concerns, and accept everything about the other without bias or judgement. It's such a heartfelt admission than Masako and Shuri can't bring themselves to tease her about it.
71	** That said, Megumi herself notes that she views Yamanaka-kun the same way she views any other of her girl friends.
72
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Kurou Ootani]]
76	->'''Voiced by:''' Reina Takeshita
77
78	A vertically challenged young man who longs to be relied on and be seen as a reliable man, but due to his short height is often overlooked. Shuri develops a fondness for him, and he has feelings for her as well.
79
80	Currently a 1st year high school student at an agricultural academy.
81
82	----
83
84	* AllMenArePerverts: Once he comes to terms with his feelings, Ootani is prone to thinking of the most erotic interpretation of what Shuri says. In his defense, Shuri is prone to saying things which can really be taken the wrong way, such as her first day at her part time job at his place. She tells him that she won't refuse "anything he asks of her" and to be "as rough as he wants." He genuinely isn't sure whether Shuri is being deliberate about it.
85	-->(while asked to clean a classroom)\
86	'''Ootani:''' Looks like this is the place.\
87	'''Shuri''' It's pretty far away.\
88	'''Ootani:''' Yeah, I don't think many people use this class very often.\
89	'''Shuri''' So it'll just be you and me, along in this isolated classroom that people rarely go to?\
90	(Ootani jolts and stares at Shuri who is looking around the room)\
91	'''Ootani:''' Wh-what's with this girl...
92	* FirstNameBasis: In Chapter 49 Shuri asks him to call her by her first name.
93	* GreenEyedMonster: In Chapter 30 he notices Yamanaka-kun and Shuri chatting, and feels annoyed.
94	* LoveEpiphany: Has an understated one in Chapter 49 when he realises that he's happy to see Shuri make a shy and embarrassed face when it's just the two of them chatting. He wonders if he felt that way since the first time he called out to her.
95	* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: As time goes on, Shuri is sometimes much more upfront about her feelings for him than he is comfortable with. He likes her too, but he also gets embarrassed.
96	** He mostly gets over it once they start dating.
97	* ObliviousToLove: Played with. He's aware of Shuri's feelings for him and he realises that he likes her too; in fact it's all but stated the reason he offered her a part time job at his family's florist's shop is so they could keep meeting each other (since they go to different high schools now). On the other hand, he often doesn't notice things like Shuri modifying her school uniform to attract him or catch on that the reason she takes up so many shifts at the shop is to spend as much time as she can with him.
98	** In Chapter 62, Shuri, her little sister and Ootani's own mother seem pretty annoyed that he doesn't seem to grasp that the reason Shuri takes so many shifts at the shop (to the point Shuri's mother wants her to scale back and focus on her schoolwork) is because she wants to spend as much time as she can with him.
99	* RelationshipUpgrade: He and Shuri start dating by the end of Volume 5.
100	* UnknownRival: Played for laughs when he's first introduced. He wants to be relied on, but compared to Shuri there's no way he'd ever stack up.
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:Ami Komori]]
104
105	Shuri's little sister. Unlike her older sister, she's perfectly content to sit around and not get involved with other people. That said, she adores Shuri who dotes on her in return.
106
107	----
108	* AdaptedOut: The anime presents Shuri as being an only child. Ironically, Ami was shown to be excited about being in the anime adaptation in a bonus chapter.
109	* GamerChick: One of her defining characteristics is that she loves games.
110	* ShipperOnDeck: She thinks Ootani is good for Shuri and vice versa. She goes so far as to address him as "Onii-chan".
111
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:Ayame Komori]]
115
116	Shuri and Ami's mother.
117
118	----
119
120	* DeathGlare: She shoots one at Ootani when he asks if he can spend the night at the Komori household.
121	* EyesAlwaysShut: Combined with her messy hair, it gives her a constantly exhausted look.
122	* HiddenDepths: It's heavily implied that Ayame was exactly like Shuri's ExtremeDoormat nature growing up and even had similar capabilities to her when asked for help. But she learned how to say "no", and understands how to properly let someone try to do something until they have to ask. And when both Shuri and Ami are unable to beat a certain video game, they ask her [[GamerChick and she does it effortlessly.]]
123	* MamaBear: When Shuri and Ootani actually get into a relationship, she's much, much, much less tolerant of him. She even goes so far as to only refer to him as "boy". Considering Shuri is very much smitten with him, it's probably out of fear that Shuri's just being strung along.
124	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Ootani is involved, her eyes actually open.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:Shuri and Ami's Dad]]
128
129	Ayame's husband, Shuri and Ami's father.
130	----
131
132	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Ootani asks if he can stay over at the Komoris for a night, Ayame immediately rejects him. However, she relents when her husband reminds her that the Ootanis let Shuri stay the night previously, and furthermore it was very unlikely Ootani would pull anything in their own home.
133
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Shiki Sasaoka]]
137
138	A girl who Shuri meets on her first day of high school and ends up joining her circle of friends. She tries to avoid asking her for help.
