Kyōko Toshinō (歳納 京子 Toshinō Kyōko?)
Voiced by: Yuka Ōtsubo
An optimistic and fun-loving blonde girl who is a year older than Akari and is the more substantial protagonist of the series.

However, on the inside, she is romantic and affectionate towards Kyōko, though she doesn't always show her friendly and responsive side, seeing it as a weakness. Though she may not outwardly show it, she cares about the people around her and sometimes doesn't think of herself, sacrificing her time and energy for the sake of others. She also frequently makes puns and likes crème caramels.
Chitose Ikeda (池田 千歳 Ikeda Chitose?)
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki

Himawari Furutani (古谷 向日葵 Furutani Himawari?)
Voiced by: Suzuko Mimori
Another candidate for the Student Council vice-president next year. She has navy blue hair and large breasts, which often leads to her being teased by Sakurako, who is jealous of her early physical development.
