Name: Hirotaka Nifuji Attribute: Hardcore Gamer Details: Narumi's childhood friend and a highly capable, handsome office worker.

Name: Hanako Koyanagi Attribute: Cosplayer Details: A senior colleague of Narumi and Hirotaka, she is a reliable, big-sister type office worker.

She has been dating Kabakura since their student days; they bicker often but care for each other more than anyone else.
Name: Taro Kabakura Attribute: Casual Otaku Details: A senior colleague of Hirotaka, he is a salaryman who looks intimidating and blunt at first glance. In reality, he is a sensible person who looks after others and is a closet otaku who enjoys hero shows and bishoujo anime.

Name: Naoya Nifuji Attribute: Non-Otaku (Normie) Details: Hirotaka's much younger brother, a bright and friendly university student.

Name: Ko Sakuragi Attribute: Socially Anxious Gamer Details: A female university student who attends the same college as Naoya. She is an extreme solo gamer with severe communication issues.
