"I want to know about you, of all people!"
Kikyo Academy is a prestigious private combined middle and high school, so most of its students are wealthy young ladies. Chidori Public High School is known as a bottom-tier school for delinquents. Kikyo — Kaoruko, Subaru Chidori — Rintaro, Shohei, Saku, Ayato Basically, the male characters are handsome and the female characters are beautiful.
Male 17 years old Between his tall stature and naturally intimidating impression, people have always been reluctant to talk to him, often avoiding him and looking at him with prejudice. Since entering middle school, his blonde hair and piercings have given him a delinquent-like appearance. Because of this, he is often misunderstood or picked a fight with by actual delinquents. His parents run a cake shop. ♡: Kaoruko
Female 17 years old A short, pure-hearted, and beautiful girl who is so small she could be mistaken for an elementary schooler, and is widely acknowledged as cute. She usually wears cute clothes with lace or pleats. She loves to eat, especially cake; while she visited the cake shop frequently to talk to Rintaro, she also expressed a genuine desire to taste every single cake in the store. Since she entered the high school as an external transfer student, she is not from a wealthy family. ♡: Rintaro
Male 17 years old One of Rintaro's classmates and best friends. He has a simple, childlike personality and high energy. Being simple-minded, he lacks tact; while Saku and Ayato stop themselves from acknowledging Kaoruko and Subaru in front of others and wait for Rintaro to speak first, Shohei bluntly tells Rintaro that his feelings for Kaoruko are obvious, flustering him. He loves eating, so he gets along very well with Kaoruko.
Male 17 years old Characterized by long hair that reaches the bridge of his nose. While the tall and relatively lean Rintaro wears oversized clothes, Saku prefers casual yet neat attire like shirts and cardigans. Contrary to the prejudice against students at a "bottom-tier" school, he is highly intelligent and could have attended a high-ranking school. On top of that, he is an all-rounder who is good at sports and handsome. Even his classmates express jealousy, wondering why he came to Chidori. He is bad at video games. ♡: Subaru
Male 17 years old One of Rintaro's classmates and best friends, he is short and has a bowl cut. He never loses his pace and observes things with a constant smile, but he is a mature friend who steps up to offer counseling and advice when his friends are fighting or troubled. However, proving the old saying that a kind person is scary when angry, he is the strongest fighter among the four!
Female 17 years old Kaoruko's friend with silver hair and sharp, cold-looking eyes. She is the tallest among the female characters, making the height difference with Kaoruko very prominent. While Kaoruko wears flowy, wide skirts to match her cute appearance, Subaru is the opposite and only wears pants outside of her school uniform. She is a childhood friend of Kaoruko. Due to her past, she was extremely wary of Chidori students early on. Because of this personality, she had a villainous image before the misunderstandings were cleared, but she gradually begins to show a different side as she improves her relationships. Very shy.
Rintaro's mother. She is close with Kaoruko, who is a regular at the shop. As a mother, she has faith that Rintaro knows how to do what is right as a human being, so she raised him without nagging even when he got failing grades. However, she feels deeply sorry that Rintaro gave up on many things because he was hurt by people judging him solely on his appearance. That's why when Rintaro avoided failing his midterms, she prepared his favorite food for dinner—not because he passed, but because she was happy he didn't give up and worked hard.
Rintaro's father. The owner of the cake shop "Patisserie Plain" and a pastry chef. He is a hardcore cake otaku and a workaholic who spends all day in the kitchen making cakes and developing new recipes, which is why he rarely appears. The first time he appeared properly (not in a flashback), he had worked himself to exhaustion and was found sleeping on the stairs because he couldn't make it from the shop to the house. Sleep deprived.
Male 20 years old Rintaro's older brother. The eldest son who lives independently. He works as a hair stylist. He lives alone in a different neighborhood away from the family home. He understands his younger brother's cynicism, which stems from being bullied for his looks since childhood, and cherishes him. He's so handsome! ♡
