Characters
Junichi Tachibana (橘 純一 Tachibana Jun'ichi?)
Voiced by: Tomoaki Maeno
The lead male protagonist of the story. He has a hard time opening up to others due to a trauma two years ago when his date stood him up on Christmas Eve which left him heart broken. He also fears heights, as he feels uncomfortable when riding elevators.
Haruka Morishima (森島 はるか Morishima Haruka?)
Voiced by: Shizuka Itō
A very popular girl in her final year, who has many fans at school. She can be described as a fickle and insecure girl with a liking for cute things, especially puppies. Her best friend is Hibiki Tsukahara and she has a younger brother named Satoshi. She is a quarter British from her mother, whose family's surname is Lovely (thus Haruka's middle name). Possibly as a nod to her heritage, she frequently mixes English phrases into her speech.
Kaoru Tanamachi (棚町 薫 Tanamachi Kaoru?)
Voiced by: Rina Satō
One of Junichi's childhood friends, she is often seen with his other friend Masayoshi. She is unpredictable as she would punch Junichi anytime. She works part-time at a family restaurant to support her single mother, who later dates another man.
Sae Nakata (中多 紗江 Nakata Sae?)
Voiced by: Hiromi Konno
A friend and classmate of Miya's. Having studied at an all-girl's school for most of her life, Sae is incredibly shy around men. Because of that, she has a soft, quiet voice.

A friend and classmate of Miya's. She is part of their school's girl swimming team. She has a younger brother named Ikuo and possesses a cool, calm disposition.

Tsukasa Ayatsuji (絢辻 詞 Ayatsuji Tsukasa?)
Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka
Junichi's class representative, who is both a hard worker and a person who is willing to take on any task that no one else will. While she acts kind and friendly, it is actually a facade that secretly hides the real her, who is manipulative and cunning. |
