Ryoutarou Shinozaki has been forced to live abroad for most of his life due to his parents’ work, but he’s kept in touch with his childhood friend Tooru Hanazono—if only to gripe.

In class, I’m always surrounded by guys, and I never get the chance to talk to girls… I can’t waste the best years of my life like thiiiiiiiiiiiiis!

With Ryoutarou unable to overcome the language barrier, and his yearning for his home country of Japan growing more with every passing day, Tooru sympathizes with his old pal enough to ask his parents if they’d let Ryoutarou come stay with them in Japan…
And after negotiating it over with Ryoutarou’s parents, they’ve agreed to let Ryoutarou move in with them!
Not only is Ryoutarou thrilled to finally return to Japan, he can’t wait for the chance to chat with girls again!
…Perhaps he’ll even find love?!

When you come back to Japan, what’s the first thing you wanna do?
I wanna make friends with some girls! And also date one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emi Hanazono (CV: Iroha Haruno)

A first year at Hanyuu Academy, and a year younger than her childhood friend, Ryoutarou, whom she reunited with when he moved back to Japan. Emi and Ryoutarou were so close when they were kids that she’d call him Big Brother… despite her already having a big brother, Tooru. Although she used to be bossy when she was young and always forced Ryoutarou and Tooru to do what she wanted, she’s become much friendlier now that she’s grown up, and is deeply ashamed of the way she used to act.

N-No, it’s… way too embarrassing to call you Big Brother now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mia Tougane (CV: Honoka Yuuki)

The class president of Class 2D, which Ryoutarou has transferred to. Adored by her classmates, she has a bit of a clumsy side that makes everybody worry about her. She’s also a student librarian at the campus library, and often has duties there after class.

Wanna walk to the next class together?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rikako Jinnai (CV: Shiho Nakaya)

A second year student at Hanyuu Academy who loves to run and is a dedicated member of the track and field club. After spotting her doing morning training, Ryoutarou finds himself sitting next to her during their joint English class by coincidence, and the two end up becoming fast friends. Rikako is so shy when it comes to talking to other people, especially guys, that she comes off as cold. Although she wants to make lots of friends, she’s afraid of giving people the wrong impression.

I’m, uhh, just not used to talking to guys… I don’t know how to respond…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Misato Suzuyama (CV: Midori Shirayuki)

A third year at Hanyuu Academy who’s in the same class as Tooru. She’s a bright and bubbly senior who’s well-liked by both the guys and the girls. There’s not a student in third year who doesn’t know her. Caring, fun-loving and positive, Misato won’t hesitate to chat up anybody that takes her interest.

Tomorrow’s gonna be a good one! I’ll make sure it’s a fun day for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yuka Karasuma (CV: Yuki Nekomura)

A first year at Hanyuu Academy. She is the only daughter of the owner of the prestigious Karasuma Confectionaries. Her overprotective father has assigned a bodyguard in a black suit to accompany her everywhere she goes to protect her from any ‘scoundrels,’ a.k.a. guys. As a result, the other students are reluctant to approach her and she can’t make any friends, which makes her want to rebel against her father and run away from her bodyguard. Although she keeps up appearances on campus, as Ryoutarou gets to know her, she reveals her innocent side to him.

Ryoutarou! Help me hide from Mr. Mutou!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rin Yoshimura (CV: Ion Momoyama)

A third year at Hanyuu Academy, and in the same class as Misato and Tooru. Due to an embarrassing incident at last year’s beauty contest, she earned herself the nickname ‘the Medusa of Hanyuu Academy.’ Now she regrets ever competing in the contest, and hides her face behind her long hair. While she’ll speak to most of the girls, she barely talks to any of the guys. She often hangs out with Misato, and steps in whenever she bothers Ryoutarou.

T-The Medusa of Hanyuu Academy?! N-Nope, never heard of it! Ahahahaha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erina Sayama (CV: Waka Kawata)

The teacher of Ryoutarou’s class. She’s popular among her students, who affectionately call her ‘Miss Eri.’ As she’s easy to approach, they often come to her for advice, but the sheer number of students who want to talk to her can be a little overwhelming at times.

While you’re studying here, I want you to find what’s most important to you.
