Additionally, we have the anime character designs for each of the characters to go with the introductions, so take a look at the beautiful boys and girls!

Mitsuyoshi Tada (VA: Yuichi Nakamura)

2nd-year high school student, born on 7 May, blood type B
He is in his second year at the Ginga University Affiliated Koinohoshi High School. He wants to become a photographer just like his late father and is working at Tada Coffee Shop, which is run by his grandfather. He is a part of the photography club at school, and his specialty is atmospheric pictures. He doesn’t talk much, but he is a kind boy who works very hard and cares for his friends. Those around him sometimes envy him, because he is always himself and very attentive to his surroundings. He lives with his grandfather, his sister Yui and his beloved cat Nyanko Big in a corner of Ginza.

Teresa Wagner (VA: Manaka Iwami)

2nd-year high school student, born on 4 February, blood type A
A student from the European country of Larsenburg. She is a beautiful girl with blonde hair, and bright, jade-like green eyes. She has a bubbly and honest personality, and always has a bright smile on her face. She loves a Japanese historical drama called Rainbow Shogun and even though she is really good with Japanese, she sometimes ends up using samurai language. She is living together with Alexandra, who is a fellow exchange student and with whom she likes to spend a lot of time together.

Kaoru Ijuin (VA: Mamoru Miyano)

2nd year in high school, born on 16 April, blood type O
He is a childhood friend of Tada-kun and also a member of the photography club. If he doesn’t open his mouth, he actually is quite handsome but sadly he can never keep it shut long enough to fool anyone. He is due to take over his family’s famous restaurant in Ginza, so he is very good at cooking. When they were small, Tada-kun saved him from a dangerous situation so he thinks of Tada as his one and only friend. Because he often spends his days at the Tada Coffee Shop, he is also good friends with Grandpa and Yui-chan, but since he is hated strongly by Nyanko Big, he goes into self-defense mode whenever they meet.

Alexandra Magritte (VA: Shino Shimoji)

2nd year in high school, born on 9 September, blood type AB
Alex came together with Teresa as an exchange student and is also from Larsenburg. She has red hair and her elegant style makes her stand out as a beauty. She is childhood friends with Teresa and she often acts as her guardian. To protect her, she would do anything. She isn’t just smart, but also strong and very calm and serious. She doesn’t laugh much, but as she gets closer to Ijuin, her ability to read between the lines is shaking him. However, she also has a side to her that loves romantic books and movies.

Hajime Sugimoto (VA: Yuichiro Umehara)

3rd-year high school student, born on 10 October, blood type B
He is in the year above Mitsuyoshi and is the president of the photography club. His club members refer to him as the ‘in-focus-senpai’. He is very bright and gets good grades, but unfortunately tends to say exactly what’s on his mind. His dream for the future is to be a photographer of nudes and thinks unsavory thoughts no matter when and where. He is an enthusiastic fan of the gravure idol and model HINA. He often argues with his childhood friend Hinako Hasegawa.

Hinako Hasegawa (VA: Shizuka Ishigami)

3rd-year high school student, born on 9 November, blood type A
She is a childhood friend of Hajime and part of the photography club. She was forced into joining the club by Hajime so that they could meet the quota. She is an honor student who can handle anything and has a vast amount of knowledge. She wears her long hair in a braid. Ijuin and Tada are in the same class as her and since she is part of the student council, the members of the club call her ‘student rep’. She is very modest and serious and wants to change herself, so she is making an effort to do so.

Kentaro Yamashita (VA: Hiro Shimono)

1st-year High School student, born on 1 August, blood type AB
Yamashita is the only first-year member of the photography club, and Tada and Ijuin are his upperclassmen. He’s an androgynous pretty boy with a tall, slim frame, and fluffy hair which he always clips back. He went to the same middle school as Tada, so they have had a lower/upperclassman relationship for a while. He has a deep respect for Tada to the point that he seems like a loyal puppy. Therefore, the other group members have given him the nickname ‘Yamashita-Ken’, with ‘Ken’ being written with the character for ‘dog’. He loves animals, but unfortunately, they don’t seem to love him back. Of course Nyanko Big doesn’t like him either.

Yui Tada (VA: Inori Minase)

2nd-year middle school student, born on 14 March, blood type A
Mitsuyoshi’s younger sister who keeps her black hair in a bob. She has a bright and bubbly personality. Since losing both her parents, she has looked up to her grandfather and older brother as parental figures and has a sibling-like relationship with the cat Nyanko Big. She enjoys mystery novels and is currently into the Sunflower Express Love Incidents series.
She looks up to Yamashita and holds secret feelings for him. It seems she is trying to keep her crush a secret, but it is so obvious that everybody knows.
