Background: Upon entering high school, Kaho confessed her admiration for Oozuka Mai. She quickly recognized her old friend, Renako Amaori, but Renako didn't recognize her at first. Kaho discreetly supported her from a distance, especially during Renako's efforts to reconcile Mai and Koto Satsuki.

Later, Kaho got into a fight with a distraught Renako, an incident that rekindled their friendship. Kaho revealed her past and her identity as a cosplayer to Renako, and subsequently hired her to help with cosplay events to earn money. Through this collaboration, they became close friends who could support each other and share their vulnerabilities.

Trivia: Kaho's birthday is April 10th and her blood type is B

At 153 cm, Kaho is the shortest of the main cast, a characteristic she embraces enthusiastically thanks to her contagious, pet-like energy.

Kaho, a passionate anime and manga fan, often refers to her favorite series in informal conversations.

Her passion for cosplay includes making detailed costumes, and Mai's style is a frequent source of inspiration.

Known for her cheerful personality, she's a member of Oozuka Mai's social group and secretly a famous cosplayer. She's also a childhood friend of Amaori Renako.

Appearance: Koyanagi Kaho is a petite young woman who is 153 cm tall, the shortest of the main cast

Her vibrant light blue hair, which falls below her shoulders and is usually worn in pigtails or loose waves, and her bright yellow eyes radiate a youthful and lively energy.

Kaho proudly wears yellow accessories, such as hair clips and bracelets, to show her admiration for Oozuka Mai.

Her wardrobe, which includes the Ashigaya Institute uniform and casual wear, often incorporates eye-catching elements inspired by cosplay, reflecting her passion for anime and manga.

Personality: Kaho's original surname was Minaguchi. During elementary school, she was friends with Amaori Renako, with whom she shared a love of manga. After losing contact, Kaho's parents remarried, and her surname changed to Koyanagi.

To dedicate more freedom to her hobbies, she began practicing cosplay, creating a new, more extroverted identity. This led her to become a well-known cosplayer in the community, gaining tens of thousands of followers online. She inherited her skill for creating costumes from her mother.

Kaho has a cheerful, outgoing, and optimistic personality; she is spontaneous, sociable, and acts as the driving force of her group, constantly radiating positive energy and warmth.

Trivia:

Ajisai's birthday is December 12th and his blood type is O

Ajisai, a passionate video game enthusiast, enjoys spending time playing games with Renako, especially cozy multiplayer titles.

Her given name, Ajisai (紫陽花), means hydrangea in Japanese. She once wore a yukata with a hydrangea print.

She is the same height (158 cm) as Renako

Ajisai's favorite dessert is strawberry cake.

Background: As a student at Ashigaya High School, Ajisai is admired for her kindness and maturity, and is often the emotional anchor of the group. At home, she takes on significant responsibilities, caring for her younger siblings, Sena Kou and Sena Kii, while her parents are frequently away. This role has forged her protective nature, but it also creates tension as she grapples with the limitations it places on her personal freedom. Her friendship with Renako blossoms early in the series, evolving into a deeper connection that tests her usual altruism and adds emotional weight to their story.

Chronology Ajisai befriended Amaori Renako after helping her through a moment of social anxiety at a shopping mall. They discovered they shared an interest in video games, and Ajisai planned to visit Renako's house. The visit was interrupted by Oozuka Mai, but Ajisai used the opportunity to exchange contact information with Renako's sister, Haruna.

After several failed attempts to spend time together, Ajisai finally took Renako into her home. However, the stress of caring for her younger siblings led her to run away. Worried, Renako found her, and the two took an impromptu trip to a hot spring. During the trip, they bathed together, shared a room, and their relationship grew considerably closer.

Later, Mai joined them on their journey. After a private conversation with Mai, Ajisai felt encouraged to be honest about her feelings. She subsequently confessed her love to Renako in front of Mai, thus solidifying her position in the love triangle. She eventually began a romantic relationship with Renako, along with Mai.

Oozuka Mai (Friend)

Koto Satsuki (Friend)

Koyanagi Kaho (Friend)

Known as the "Angel" (tenshi) of Ashigaya High School, she is known for her exceptionally kind and gentle nature, and often acts as a caretaker for her two younger brothers.

Appearance: Ajisai is a petite young woman, 158 cm tall.

Hair: Soft, light brown, curly hair, adorned with a distinctive fringe that resembles angel feathers and frames her face.

Her warm brown eyes and sweet smile radiate a calming and angelic aura, as Renako describes it.

She usually wears the Ashigaya Institute uniform with a touch of elegance, complemented by her preference for pastel-colored accessories that enhance her protective aura.

Personality: Ajisai is characterized by her profound kindness and affectionate personality. Her universal gentleness earns her the trust and admiration of everyone around her, even the cynical Koto Satsuki. Amaori Renako holds her in special esteem and often refers to her as an "angel."

Her seemingly perfect nature leads some friends, like Renako and Kaho, to humorously speculate that she has a hidden dark side, which they nickname "Yamisai-san." While their suspicions are unfounded, Ajisai also has her own moments of insecurity, occasionally wondering if her kindness is a form of passivity.

Despite her apparent patience, caring for her energetic younger siblings causes her considerable stress, a rare emotional vulnerability she seldom shows others. Her affection for Renako is sincere and deep, and her actions are often motivated by her romantic feelings.

During that time, they shared personal secrets: Satsuki revealed her difficult family life, and Renako confessed her past as a social outcast. Their brief relationship included a kiss and ended when Satsuki felt she had achieved a victory over Mai.

Later, Satsuki reconciled with Mai. She also began working part-time as a cosplayer under the pseudonym "MOON" to earn money, even working alongside Koyanagi Kaho. She played a supporting role in helping resolve the love triangle between Renako, Mai, and Sena Ajisai. After Renako decided to date both Mai and Ajisai, Satsuki sent her a private message, hinting at a new chapter in their relationship.

Trivia

Satsuki's birthday is July 26th and her blood type is A.

She had Kaho teach her how to hand knit and gave her mother a pair of hand-knitted socks.

Satsuki is 2 cm shorter than Oozuka Mai (165 cm vs. 167 cm).

Satsuki is an avid reader who enjoys classic literature and usually carries a book with her.

Background: Satsuki was born to a teenage mother, and her father abandoned the family when she was very young. She grew up in a small apartment, and due to their financial difficulties, Satsuki had to take a part-time job to help support her family.

In elementary school, she became friends with Mai, who became the main influence that helped her become the person she is today. She considers Mai her rival and strives every day to surpass her.

Satsuki developed an intense aversion to romantic love due to her mother's unhappiness, as her relationships never worked out. Her mother fell in love easily, but every man she dated ended up leaving her, making the atmosphere at home increasingly bleak and depressing. As a child, Satsuki resented this kind of love, wondering why she wasn't enough for her mother and how a man her mother had just met could so easily overcome a family bond. This feeling led her to be terrified of becoming like her mother, someone whose life and relationships would be ruined by an obsession with finding love. This fear manifested in Satsuki's behavior, especially when she stopped going to her mother's workplace after school, realizing she might be developing feelings for the women there who treated her kindly.

With this, she developed a defense mechanism against romance, repressing such emotions and distancing herself from the possibility of falling in love.

Chronology Fueled by their lifelong rivalry, Satsuki approached Amaori Renako to get revenge on Oozuka Mai for a perceived slight. She asked Renako to be her girlfriend, and they began a brief, two-week relationship.

Koyanagi Kaho (Friend)

She is Oozuka Mai's childhood friend and rival

Known for her sharp wit and cynical view of the world, she strives to maintain her independence while dealing with her complex relationships.

Appearance: Koto Satsuki is a striking young woman who stands 165 cm tall.

Hair: Long, shiny black hair, approximately waist-length

Eyes: piercing almond-shaped red eyes that Renako compares to the ethereal glow of the moon.

Her elegant and understated style, which often includes simple yet refined clothing, complements her literary aura. Satsuki's penetrating gaze and serene demeanor lend her an air of inaccessibility, but her subtle smiles hint at a more tender side.

Personality: Satsuki is pragmatic and perceptive, with an excellent ability to understand people and situations.

She is deeply cynical, believes everyone has a dark side, and generally seeks a stable and quiet life. Her interactions with her friends, particularly Amaori Renako, are often characterized by witty and humorous banter.

His personality is primarily defined by his lifelong rivalry with Oozuka Mai

While she feels a deep connection with Mai, she also resents being overshadowed by her, and her composure often falters when dealing directly with her. In contrast, she is unusually kind to the gentle Sena Ajisai, whose sincerity transcends her usual reserve.

Satsuki is confused about her own capacity for romantic love and has questioned her feelings toward Renako and Mai.

Although she is a professional model, she considers her height a disadvantage and a source of personal insecurity.

She shares a childhood friendship with Koto Satsuki, who perceives Mai as a rival.

Mai's modeling career includes high-profile photo shoots, and she enjoys fashion as a form of creative expression.

Her favorite drink is iced coffee

Her group of friends (which includes Renako, Satsuki, Ajisai, and Kaho) is sometimes called "Queentet" (a combination of "queen" for Mai and "quintet" for 5)

The spelling of Mai's surname differs between translations. REMOW (responsible for the anime translation) spells it as "Ouduka," while Seven Seas Entertainment (responsible for the manga and light novel translations) spells it as "Oduka."

She respects her friend Sena Ajisai, but also considers her a direct romantic rival and is prone to jealousy.

Despite her popularity, her strong personality means that not everyone views her favorably.

Background: Mai is the daughter of Oozuka Renée, CEO and designer of the successful fashion brand Queen Rose. She is of Japanese and European descent. Having worked as a model for her mother's brand for a while, Mai entered high school with a level of fame and experience far exceeding that of the average student.

This education is also the source of his main insecurity, as he privately wonders if he earned his success or if it was simply given to him through nepotism.

Chronology Mai and Amaori Renako became friends after a conversation on the school rooftop, where they shared their deepest insecurities. Mai quickly fell in love and confessed her feelings, but Renako rejected her, preferring to remain friends. In response, Mai proposed a "matching game" to determine which relationship was better, thus creating an ambiguous dynamic between them.

This new relationship made Mai the target of Koto Satsuki's rivalry. Later, when Renako went on a trip with Sena Ajisai, a jealous Mai followed her. However, after a conversation with Ajisai, Mai encouraged her to be honest about her own feelings, which led Ajisai to confess to Renako as well.

Mai felt guilty for her initial aggressive persistence with Renako and experienced a sense of defeat upon seeing Renako's reaction to Ajisai's confession. She respected Renako's need for space, which led her to be reserved in their interactions. This dynamic shifted when Renako, after clarifying her own feelings, took the initiative to approach Mai. Ultimately, Renako declared that she would pursue romantic relationships with both Mai and Ajisai.

Hanatori Hitoe (Housekeeper and driver)

Lucie Lefebvre (Ex-fiancée)

She is a student at Ashigaya High School and a professional model. Widely admired for her beauty, intelligence, and athletic ability, she is known by her classmates as the "Super Girl of the School." She develops a deep and persistent romantic interest in her classmate, Amaori Renako.

Appearance: Mai is a young woman of remarkable height, she measures 167 cm

Hair: She has long, wavy blonde hair

Eyes: Large and round. With striking blue irises, a result of his European ancestry (one-quarter).

She carries herself with a confident grace and, due to her work as a model, she often wears fashionable outfits. Her classmate, Renako, often marvels at her beauty.

Personality: Mai projects an image of perfection. She is self-assured, sincere, and kind, and often captivates her peers with her warm and distinguished manner. She actively engages in her friends' problems, using her initiative and resources to find solutions.

This apparent confidence is, in part, an image constructed to live up to the ideal of "Ōzuka Mai." She harbors a deep inferiority complex, particularly regarding her mother, believing that her success as a model is due to family connections rather than her own merit. Her strong desire to perform can also make her seem reckless or inconsiderate, and her interventions sometimes escalate conflicts.

Mai feels a passionate devotion to Renako and can be very daring in the sexual realm.

From choosing stylish clothes to correcting Renako's nervous chatter, Haruna's candor—at Renako's request—helps her sister gain confidence and hone her communication skills. Their sisterly bond, marked by teasing and mutual support, shines through in moments of vulnerability, especially in the later volumes, where Haruna encourages Renako to persevere. Haruna's interactions with Renako's friends, particularly her playful references to Mai as her "sister-in-law," add humor and warmth to the story.

Trivia: Haruna gets ready for school faster than Renako, and often looks more put together despite getting up later, a fact that frustrates her sister

In a joking tone, she calls Mai her "sister-in-law," reflecting her confidence in Renako's relationships.

Haruna enjoys trendy hobbies like fashion and social media, which fits with her "normal girl" personality.

Gender: Female

Amaori Miyoko (Mother)

Amaori Renako (Older sister)

Amaori Haruna (甘織春菜, Amaori Haruna?) is a main character and the younger sister of Amaori Renako. A socially adept and self-assured student, Haruna plays a key role in helping Renako navigate her first year of high school.

Appearance: Amaori Haruna shares a striking resemblance to her older sister, Renako.

Color and style: Vibrant pink color, characteristic of the family, styled in a long and stylized way

Eyes: Expressive and large. Purple irises.

Despite being the youngest, she's slightly taller than Renako. Her youthful, slender figure, along with her fashionable outfits—ranging from school uniforms to chic casual wear—give her a confident and approachable charm.

Personality

Haruna is extroverted, very articulate, and unafraid to speak her mind, which has earned her the nickname "normal" in contrast to Renako's anxious introversion.

Renako describes her as direct and sometimes capricious, but acknowledges that her affection, sometimes harsh, stems from genuine concern.

Despite her young age, Haruna often acts with more maturity, offering insightful advice and provoking Renako to step out of her comfort zone.

Her playful confidence and protective instincts make her a fan favorite supporting character.

Background: As a student, Haruna attends the same school system as Renako, though her school is not specified in the series. She plays a pivotal role in Renako's high school debut, guiding her through "special training" to overcome her social shyness.

Shortly after, Mai confessed her romantic feelings to Renako. Unprepared for such a relationship and wishing to remain just friends, Renako rejected the confession. In response, Mai proposed a sort of "test" to determine whether it would be better for them to be lovers or friends, thus establishing a unique and ambiguous relationship between them.

Later, Mai's rival, Koto Satsuki, also asked Renako to be her girlfriend. Renako accepted, somewhat flustered, beginning a brief two-week relationship. During that time, they both discovered secrets about each other's personal lives and origins, culminating in a kiss. The rivalry between Mai and Satsuki for her intensified until Renako intervened to reconcile them.

Sena Ajisai, another friend, also developed feelings for Renako. After a trip together to a hot spring, and encouraged by Mai, Ajisai confessed her love to Renako in front of Mai, thus creating a complex love triangle.

The stress of the situation caused Renako to withdraw, but an argument and subsequent collaboration with her friend Kaho Koyanagi on cosplay activities helped her recover. This period of reflection allowed Renako to confront her feelings and respond to both Mai and Ajisai, deciding to date them both and leaving her low self-esteem behind.

Trivia:

Renako's birthday is March 3rd and her blood type is A

His main hobby is playing video games, with a special fondness for first-person shooter (FPS) games.

She owns a PlayStation 4 and a Nintendo Switch

Although she is not a regular manga reader, she has a basic understanding of otaku culture and reads some of the main shonen manga.

His academic performance is average, noticeably lower than that of his close friends, who are all outstanding students.

She is likely the weakest of the Queentet, with the order of arm strength (from weakest to strongest) being: Renako → Kaho → Ajisai → Satsuki → Mai.

Personality 2/2: She is reluctant to form deep relationships, preferring those that do not involve intense emotions. Even after she started dating Mai and Ajisai, she continued to deny her sexuality.

Despite her insecurities, Renako possesses great willpower and the desire to achieve happiness through her own means.

She idealizes deep, romantic friendship, seeking a partner with whom she can be completely honest. In the face of adversity, she demonstrates surprising determination and pragmatic strength, resolved to forge her own destiny rather than rely on others.

Her true personality, which emerges when she is relaxed or agitated, is much rougher.

She is an avid gamer, especially of first-person shooter games, and can speak with great passion about the subject.

This facet of his personality usually remains hidden from his more popular friends.

Background: During middle school, Renako was ostracized by her classmates after rejecting a popular girl's advances. The bullying she endured led her to refuse to attend school and spend her time isolated in her room playing video games.

To escape her past, she decided to reinvent herself for high school. With the help of her younger sister, Haruna, she created a new image, learning about fashion, makeup, and social etiquette.

She deliberately enrolled at Ashigaya High School, a school far from home where no one would know her.

Chronology

Upon entering Ashigaya High School, Renako befriended Oozuka Mai, thus becoming part of her popular social circle.

However, the mental pressure of maintaining her public image led her to seek solitude on the school rooftop. A misunderstanding caused Mai to believe Renako was distressed, triggering a dramatic incident in which they both nearly fell from the building. This event allowed them to share their hidden insecurities, forging a genuine bond.

Lucie Lefebvre (Close friend)

Amaori Renako is a first-year student at Ashigaya High School. To overcome a difficult past, she created a new, sociable persona for her high school debut, successfully joining a popular group of students led by the school's superstar, Oozuka Mai.

Personality 1/2: On the surface, Renako projects the image of a bright, popular, and sociable girl. This is a carefully constructed persona to help her fit in at school. However, beneath this mask, she is naturally shy and introverted, prone to feeling overwhelmed and stressed in large social gatherings.

Her personality is strongly marked by a trauma suffered in high school, which left her with very low self-esteem and a deep fear of being rejected.

This leads her to undervalue herself and frequently doubt the sincerity of her friends.
