Characters

;Nao Yoshikawa:anime voice|Yuka Tokumitsu:Protagonist of the series. She tends to be a little air-headed and easygoing. When her grandfather suffered a stroke her dad decided to move out to the countryside and take over the farm. Since Nao still had a semester of junior high school to finish, she convinced her parents to let her rent an apartment and live by herself, at least temporarily. Then she finds out with surprise that someone else had rented the same flat: Hisashi Uehara. The landlady suggests that Nao and Hisashi can just live together; this way, rent will even be cheaper, and so they do. At first, she didn't notice that she liked Hisashi until she got a little counseling from her friends. She starts to date Hisashi later in the story. ;Hisashi Uehara:anime voice|Eiji Moriyama:A popular and good-looking guy, and unsurprisingly has a bunch of fangirls. In fact, he made the school's "Top Three Hottest Guys" for three years in a row. He lives together with Nao because of the whole renting fiasco. He's very aloof and antisocial, and gets straight A's without studying. Had a big crush on Yuri for 6 years then started to date Nao later in the story. He gets mad or jealous whenever Abe shows up out of nowhere or hangs out with Nao. Continuing to give off the cold shoulder, hes outspoken and slowly lightens up after dating with Nao Yoshikawa. To make him confess that he liked Nao, in Chapter 15, Yuri hid Nao in her room and asked Uerhara why he didn't want to come home. He admitted that it was because he liked Nao, and she slipped down by accident, and he hears her. He tells her he really meant it after Yuri leaves, and doesn't get his feelings replied back to until Valentine's Day, when they officially become a couple. Lies about his age to get a job. ;Marina Konno:anime voice|Maki Saitou:One of Nao's best friends, and very loyal. She's boy-crazy and is very knowledgable when it comes to that. She also keeps a book of all the hot boys she knows. Although Marina is very knowledgable about them, she says she would never go out with anyone she doesn't like. Later in the story, she starts going out with Mi-chan. Usually, once starting to date a boy, she breaks up with him shortly after.Her only serious boyfriend has been Mi-chan.She also takes computer classes.;Jun Abe:anime voice|Ryo Naitou:Nao's classmate, who they call 'Abecchi'. He is called the "King of Confessions" because he often goes around asking girls out, but gets rejected every single time. He wants a girlfriend so badly that almost any girl will do. He asks out Nao, and obviously she rejects him. Despite that, Nao and Abe remain good friends. Has a girlfriend, who after becoming a couple with Abe, moves to England, then moves back four months later.Some of his later crushes are Nanako And Yuri.;Mitsuishi:Nao's other best friend, also known as Mi-chan. He is the son of a doctor. He starts dating Marina later on in the series.,He has loved Marina,as far as he has known.In one of the chapters,Marina thought that he was getting too busy with his school,(while everyone goes to Kubo High,he goes to a different high school because of sports)he once cancelled on a date because he had to study for exams,so Nao and Marina were shopping and Nao asked her to just visit him (on the same day their date had been cancelled).After Marina agreed,they reached Mi-chans house just to find him coming down the stairs with another girl.Marina gets heart-broken and then she leaves without saying a word upon seeing this scene.But it turns out to be a misunderstanding,because when Nao questions Mi-chan about this,she finds out its just his study group.Nao talks to Marina about it and tries to explain to her that it was a misunderstanding,to which she replies by saying "maybe i should just break up with him!".Upon hearing this,Mi-chan later makes-up with her when she comes back home from her computer classes and fins Mi-chan sitting on the stairs of her front door.When she asks him since when he was there,he replies saying that he went there right after his school was over(which was 5 hours)and then she asks him about what happened to his club and he says he skipped.This really touches her and she gives him a kiss on his left cheek.After this they make-up;Yuri Uehara:anime voice|Michiko Neya:Hisashi's sister-in-law. She's young and pretty, and apparently Hisashi's had a crush on her for six years before she went and married his older brother. It was because of this that Hisashi had run away from home in the first place. Yuri is nice and carefree, and becomes good friends with Nao. She turns into a "kissing monster" when she's drunk (she's 21).;Nanako:The twelve-year-old daughter of the owner of the shop that Hisashi works at. Although on the outside she is a sweet, angelic girl, her true self is that of a spoiled, selfish brat. She wants Hisashi for her boyfriend and loves to make fun of Nao. Luckily Hisashi is not so oblivious in this case and knows that she is two-faced.;Seihi:He is the son of the owner of a ramen shop.Nao starts working there after getting into an accident on the road when he hits her with his bike(it was actually her fault because she was not concentrating on the traffic lights)His father was sick so he had to take care of the shop all alone.As during the accident Nao broke bowls which were specially made bowls worth 13,000,000 yen(They later find out that they had been tricked since no bowls could be that expensive)given to them by their most rich and special customer,Nakatsugawa-Sama.They go to apopgose to him and when they tell him,he says that the person who made tem was a peson he loved very dearly.At the same time Landlady-san(The owner of the apartments Hisashi and Nao live in) comes in and gives him new handmade bowls.They find out that the 'Boyfriend' that she keeps mentioning is after all Nakatsugawa-sama and the bowls now get replaced by the bowls that she newly made for him.she was working for them in debt for the bowls and now she diddnt need to so she leaves.later she realizes that she cant work anywhere else so she comes back.When seihi is at work,he has a really furious face but out side,he is really sweet and appears to have feelings for Nao.But In chap 52,he realises that it is just that he loves her as a sister.
