Characters / Chio's School Road

Chio Miyamo

Voiced by: Naomi Ozora (Japanese), Mikaela Krantz (English)

The protagonist of the series. A self-proclaimed "below average" girl who likes playing shoot-em-ups and Western games, although her commute to school is far less mundane.

---

• Badass Normal: Sometimes intentional, sometimes not.
• Bespectacled Cutie: She wears a pair of rectangular glasses, giving her a cute, nerdy look.
• Brick Joke: Chio expresses a desire for someone to confess to her standing on top of a pipe. Andou more or less accomplishes this in Chapter 33.
• Country Matters: Chio receives a message while playing a game that turns out to be this.
• Gamer Chick: She's a hardcore gamer, with a particular thing for stealth games.
• The Glasses Gotta Go: Subverted when Manana thinks removing Chio's glasses will reveal a more beautiful side to her, only to find out Chio just looks as plain as usual (if not plainer).
• I Know Mortal Kombat: Her knowledge of stealth games inspires her to use their techniques in real life. She turns out to be pretty good, resulting in many of her badass moments. Deconstructed in that she's only able to do that because she actually is very athletic (and even then it's often quite difficult), but tries to hide it so not to attract any attention to herself.

Manana Nonomura

Voiced by: Chiaki Omigawa (Japanese), Emily Fajardo (English)

Manana is Chio's best friend who has been with her since elementary school. Despite their close friendship, the two will occasionally try to backstab each other.

• Badass Normal: Usually able to keep up with Chio.
• Girlish Pigtails

Yuki Hosokawa

Voiced by: Kaede Hondo (Japanese), Kristin Sutton (English)

Yuki is Chio's classmate who is a sports ace. She is very polite and often oblivious to how people see her.

---

• Home Nudist: She, like her parents, never wears a stitch of clothing at home, aside from an apron when eating.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: Her parents are both exhibitionists, and they raised her to share in their "interests". At home they only ever wear aprons during meals to avoid getting food on themselves. When training for the sports festival she readily goes about in a Stripperific track bikini like it's normal, even commenting that she enjoys the stares it gets her. When she later learns the fine for public nudity, her immediate response is "you mean all I'd have to do is pay that amount and I could walk outside nude!?"

Madoka Kushitori

Voiced by: Yo Taichi (Japanese), Marissa Lenti (English)

Madoka is a senior student at Chio's school who is captain of the Kabaddi Club. She has a strong passion for kabaddi, which she ultimately comes to realize is not based in the sport itself, but rather for it being the perfect excuse to grope other girls.
