Miyazawa Yukino The female lead of the series, Miyazawa Yukino is a self-admitted Queen of Vanity. After hearing praise from her efforts as a child, she decided that it was the most wonderful sound in the world, and she wanted to hear more of it... More... |
|
Isawa Maho Out of all the girls in school, Isawa Maho probably hated Miyazawa the most. Having been in Miyazawa's position, at the top, in her middle school, she, too, expected to make her high school debut, but it was all ruined by Miyazawa... More... |
|
Shibahime Tsubasa Shibahime Tsubasa, only daughter of a bishounen widower, is a really cute girl who is often mistaken for being younger, which doesn't appeal to her very much. She does use her cuteness for her own purposes, mind you. Like... More... |
|
Sakura Tsubaki When she was younger, Sakura Tsubaki was a big bully. She was something of a tomboy and did as she wanted, being a school rebel. She used to bully Tonami, which earned her his enmity... More... |
|
Sena Rika Sena Rika is the Mother Teresa of Yukino's new group of friends (courtesy of Tsubasa)... putting up with Aya's bullying throughout their years of friendship.. Although she is very much a saint, don't do anything to Kyou-kun, lest you encounter the Rage... More... |
|
Sawada Aya Sawada Aya, friend and.. famous writer, aka Kano's favorite author. Behind her calm repose, Sawada Aya fosters The Evil That Lurks Within... J/K. She is Sena Rika's best friend, having known her since they were really young. Suspicious of friendships, however, Aya used to bully Rika, sure that she must have an underlying motive for being so close... More... |
|
Arima Souichiro The male lead of the series, Arima Souichiro is a "perfect" human being... or is he? Troubled by his past and the blood that runs through his veins, he strives to make his foster parents proud by hiding behind an impenetrable mask... More... |
|
Asaba Hideaki Asaba Hideaki is Arima's peer in popularity. Also a member of the Kendo club, he befriends Arima in hopes of someday building Asaba Merry-land, where all the girls shall "flock" around them like sheep... More... |
|
Tonami Takefumi As a child, Tonami Takefumi was fat. ^^; However he was a rich fat kid... and to him, this was particularly important, as he totes this fact around, using it to gain him friends and influence. There was one girl, however, who wasn't very impressed... More... |
|
Ikeda Kazuma Ikeda Kazuma is Tsubasa's new younger step brother. He is a member of the band YinYang. At first, he and Tsubasa get off on the wrong footing as he makes an assumption that she must be his cute new younger sister from elementary school.. And we all know Tsubasa when she gets mad... ^^; |
|
Miyazawa Hiroyuki The head of the Miyazawa family, Miyazawa Hiroyuki is fiercely devoted to his family, and loves his daughters to distraction. He calls them his princesses. He especially cherishes them since he grew up, orphaned, with only his grandfather to raise him. Though somewhat of a flake, he's ready to defend his family any time.. and has adopted the policy of raising his children in a "free" environment. |
|
Miyazawa Miyako The only daughter of a policeman, Miyazawa Miyako was very headstrong about what she wanted. Having known Hiroyuki since junior high, she's decided that he was the one for her and would not give up, even though he seems to have rejected her. At the death of Hiroyuki's grandfather, she comforted him and made sure he could cope with the loss of his only family. From her, her daughters inherited strong will, which is hardly evident in her adulthood. |
|
Miyazawa Tsukino The middle Miyazawa sister, Miyazawa Tsukino is currently in her 3rd year of middle school. Her hobby seems to involve teasing her sisters to death.. She's probably the practical joker of the family, but since the focus is on Yukino's life outside the home, we don't get to see this as much.. |
|
Miyazawa Kano The youngest Miyazawa sister, Miyazawa Kano is currently in her 2nd year of middle school. Kano's specialty seems to lie in explaining her eldest sister's situations cleverly using manga dramatization. She is also a big fan of Aya-sensei's stories.. |
|
PeroPero The Miyazawa dog who seems to be spending a lot of its time in SD form, hanging onto various worn clothing, and appearing whenever the artist wants something cute in her slides without having to call out Tsubasa. ^^; |
|
Kawashima-sensei He seems to be the head advisor for the main cast's grade. Believing that Miyazawa and Arima have the most potential of all his students, he [unsuccessfully] tries, at first, to separate the two of them, seeing their "togetherness" as a threat to their potential. But realizing that he has no allies in this quandry (as even the parents believe their kids are right), he lets the subject drop. He seems to be genuinely concerned with his students, though he is still known for being strict. |
|
Takashi Yuusuke Takashi-san is Maho's 28-year-old dentist boyfriend... They first saw each other when Maho was in junior high and she walked by his new home, having taken the path to spend some more time watching the flowers during spring before she reaches her house. They actually don't talk to each other until Maho scolds some girls for attempting to steal from a store. To me, he seems like a big kid who likes to tease, while Maho seems to be the more mature one in the relationship. He seems to really care about her future plans, though.. |
|
Sawada Kyou Not much is known about Kyou-chan right now... As far as I know, he's only appeared during the bunkasai (cultural festival) to watch Aya's play and look at the dollhouse that Rika-chan made. He seems to be Aya-chan's "older brother" who blushes around Rika-chan and vice-versa. |
