"You don't have to brush it off as a joke. That's a wonderful goal."

Gender: Male Grade: 1st Year High School School: Tsubame-Nishi High School

Kind-hearted and flexible. On the surface, he is easygoing and cheerful, but deep down he harbors a strange sense of nihilism.

He became close with Mitsumi after helping her when she was lost on the day of the entrance ceremony. He is popular due to his tall stature and handsome looks, but because of trauma from his past as a child actor, he adapts himself to others' gazes and rarely reveals his true feelings.

Likes: Sleeping in (skipping school), theater/acting (a passion remaining in a corner of his heart)

"You know, Shima. I'm a person who often falls down rather grandly, but I'm also incredibly good at getting back up!"

Gender: Female Grade: 1st Year High School School: Tsubame-Nishi High School

Infinitely positive and extremely diligent. She is also upright and transparent. Sometimes she is naive and clumsy.

She is from a very small rural town in Ishikawa Prefecture. Her dream for the future is to become a government official and revitalize her hometown. Although she is awkward with the fast tempo and sophisticated atmosphere of Tokyo, she has a charm that heals and changes the hearts of those around her with her unique, uncalculated purity.

Likes: Studying, hometown friends and family, friends made in Tokyo

"While I'm remembering the names of two annoying seniors, Iwakura is remembering one kind senior."

Gender: Female Grade: 1st Year High School School: Tsubame-Nishi High School

She has high self-esteem and is calculating. She has quite a few complexes, but at her core, she is a hard worker and kind.

Initially, she tried to use Mitsumi to get closer to the popular Shima, but she became true friends after being influenced by Mitsumi's pure nature. She is a Tokyo girl who puts immense effort into managing her appearance and physique. She is constantly conscious of how others perceive her.

Likes: Fashion, makeup, visiting trendy cafes, Shima Sosuke (unrequited love)

"People look at my appearance and talk as if they know everything. But meeting someone who recognizes the real me is truly special."

Gender: Female Grade: 1st Year High School School: Tsubame-Nishi High School

Cool and straightforward. She is easygoing and treats others without prejudice.

She is a stunning beauty with a glamorous look, often mistaken for being mixed-race. Because men flock to her even when she does nothing and she has faced jealousy from other girls, she was skeptical about forming deep human relationships. However, she opened her heart after meeting Mitsumi's group, who see her for the person 'Yuzuki' rather than just her appearance.

Likes: Eating delicious food, comfortable casual clothes, chatting with friends

"I have to say it. I must. When I'm having a hard time, someone like you will come and comfort me. Being friends with you makes me much happier than you can imagine."

Gender: Female Grade: 1st Year High School School: Tsubame-Nishi High School

Introverted and very shy. She is a serious and somewhat conservative nerd type.

She is clumsy at making friends and tends to get intimidated easily. She used to be afraid of types like the glamorous Yuzuki or Mika, but by using Mitsumi as a bridge, she becomes friends with them and gradually broadens her horizons and grows. She is very interested in student council activities.

Likes: Reading, watching movies, quiet places, student council work

"What's there to life? If everyone laughs and has fun, that's all that matters! There's no time to let the mood stay down!"

Gender: Male Grade: 1st Year High School School: Tsubame-Nishi High School

Playful and full of mischief. He is also a mood maker. Sometimes he fails to read the room.

He was Shima's classmate in middle school and is in charge of comedy and cheerfulness in the class. He is desperate to be popular with girls, but is treated as a bit of a loser every time because of his lighthearted words and actions.

"Sometimes it might look like I'm taking a long detour, but walking silently at my own pace might eventually be the path that's most like me."

Gender: Male Grade: 1st Year High School School: Tsubame-Nishi High School

Mature and rational. He is quick-witted, considerate, and kind-hearted.

He has been Shima Sosuke's best friend since middle school. He reads the atmosphere very well and is a reliable, sensible person who quietly takes care of friends who are alienated or drifting in class. He is one of the few precious friends who deeply understands Sosuke's complex family situation and true feelings, silently staying by his side.

Likes: Spending time peacefully with friends, clothes and fashion (he is very interested in clothes and even works part-time at a clothing store).
