Characters
Habara Takami (Takami Habara)Takami is a 16-year-old high schooler. She was brought up in a family of four brothers, causing her to become somewhat boyish. At 10 years old, she was forced to take piano lessons by her mother in order to keep her masculine personality at bay. She didn't like lessons at first because she felt embarrassed by the fact she didn't know how to play. It wasn't until after she met Akira that she saw that playing the piano could be fun. She didn't realize that Akira had feelings for her, and even viewed him as a younger sister... until he kissed her.
Sasaki Akira (Akira Sasaki)Takami met Akira at a piano lesson. Though he is two years younger, he is already a junior in high school as well as a talented pianist. He has numerous first place trophies from piano competitions. In addition, he just has to hear a song in order to play it. He has bright blue eyes, striking blond hair and an effeminate personality. Because of this, Takami has always thought of him as a little sister; a big problem considering the fact that he likes her. Akira routinely plays the piano for Takami. Sometimes, he does it to cheer her up; other times, he plays her favorite songs from the radio.
