Characters

Main characters
Tsumiki Miniwa (御庭 つみき Miniwa Tsumiki)
Voiced by: Rumi Ōkubo
The main female protagonist. Tsumiki is a somewhat petite girl who is dainty in stature and is hopelessly in love with Io. She has a tsundere attitude: sharp and sarcastic on the outside while loving on the inside. Whenever Io gives Tsumiki a pat on the head or Tsumiki sees something she likes, she grows cat ears. Tsumiki is unusually strong for her size and when she is about to use an immense amount of strength she emits a purple aura (for comical effect). She is also very skilled at arcade games.
Io Otonashi (音無 伊御 Otonashi Io)
Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto
The main male protagonist. Dense, yet kind at heart, he is oblivious to Tsumiki's crush on him, but she is the girl closest to him regardless and he may have feelings for her. Io is known to tease Tsumiki on occasion. He is usually seen spinning a pen with his hand, often fast enough to surprise Mayoi. At times he unknowingly acts like a casanova. He is also quite strong, though this is not shown as often as with Tsumiki. For some reason, cats are immediately drawn to him (whether or not this is a nod to Tsumiki's crush on him is unknown). He's also a part time worker at Hatch Potch.

Mayoi Katase (片瀬 真宵 Katase Mayoi)
Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame
Along with Sakaki, she makes up the prankster duo in the friendship circle. Very savvy with electronics and almost never seen without her lab coat, Mayoi loves to tease Tsumiki about her crush on Io, which often brings her severe repercussions from Tsumiki herself. It is implied early on, that she may be a masochist. She tends to end her sentences with "nyan".

Sakaki Inui (戌井 榊 Inui Sakaki)
Voiced by: Shintarō Asanuma
Io's best friend and partner-in-crime. Together with Mayoi, he makes up the prankster duo in the friendship circle. His sister owns a patisserie where he, Hime and Io also work.

Hime Haruno (春野 姫 Haruno Hime)
Voiced by: Kaori Fukuhara
The clumsy and air-headed member of the group. She has a very sweet and innocent personality. She also gets easily frightened compared to the other female characters. She gets nosebleeds whenever she becomes excited or upset. She's also a part time worker at Hatch Potch.
