Characters

Narutaki-sou residents

• Kozue Aoba is the landlady of Narutaki-sou and Ryūshi's 16-year-old second cousin. She attends the same high school as Tamami. Kozue has several different personalities that come out when she experiences different emotions, but returns to her original one after sleeping or passing out.
• Saki Akasaka is a caring and tough girl who appears when Kozue is surprised or angered. She is an extreme lightweight, and unable to tolerate anything but umeshu, in the anime she can't even smell liquor without passing out.
• Nanako Kanazawa is a curious and playful residence of Narutaki-sou.
• Chiyuri Midorikawa is a girl who loves cosplay.
• Natsume Konno is a shy girl who initially avoided speaking to people. She is skilled at sleight of hand and card tricks.

• Ryūshi Shiratori is the main protagonist of the series who is an aspiring children's book author. Ryūshi moved into Narutaki Sou so he could attend the Sumeragi Design School in Tokyo.
• Megumi Momono is a student of Washida University for one year, but it turned out to be too expensive, so she took a year-off.
• Sayoko Kurosaki is an irresponsible girl from a wealthy family whose father is a talented sculptor. Despite her evident uselessness throughout the series, she cares for Asami.
• Asami Kurosaki is a girl who lives lives in room 5 with only her adopted mother since her adopted father died when she was younger. She keeps things together despite her mother's problems, pulling most of the workload at home and keeping track of expenses.
• Yukio Haibara is a boy with ventriloquism to speak through his puppet, Johnny.
• Johnny Ryūsei is Yukio Haibara's hand-puppet of a brown dog through whom the latter speaks using ventriloquism. They both act as if the puppet were really the one speaking; Johnny often "speaks" as if Haibara is the extra part. It is revealed near the end of the manga that Johnny was "born" when Haibara was at a loss as to how to get the sad and lonely Kozue to talk to him after her parents left her.

  Sumeragi (Imperial) Design School

• Risona Aizawa is Shiratori's classmate who wears glasses and is a devoted fan of manga.
• Mizuho Amane is Shiratori's classmate who uses her batting skills to punish Tsubasa for his womanizing. She normally uses a spiked baseball bat, but because of the adults' circumstances, it was taken away and replaced with a plastic megaphone.

• Yu Minazuki is Sayoko's mother who cannot stand sunlight, thus much more active at night. Yū walks with a cane, which she applies to her husband's feet when he is rude.
• Mahiru Minazuki is Sayoko's younger sister and Asami's aunt. Having lived in Italy since childhood, she is somewhat awkward at speaking Japanese.
