Rikka, Chiyo, Sekine, and Tsubasa are four students at Kashihara Girls' Academy Junior High. However, unbeknownst to anyone, each girl harbors a secret: Rikka is an alien, Chiyo is a rogue ninja, Sekine is a psychic who can read women's minds, and Tsubasa is a boy cross-dressing as a girl to take his older sister's place.

• Rikka • Chiemi Tanaka • A colonel and ace pilot in the Galactic Revolutionary Army, who poses as a student from the school, having crash landed there while awaiting rescue. • Chiyo • Natsumi Murakami • A second year student at Kashihara Girls' Academy, who claims to be a runaway ninja. She acts dim-witted enough not to even know that the Earth is a sphere. • Sekine • Ayane Sakura • A second year student at Kashihara Girls' Academy who claims to be a psychic that can read women's minds. She knows the true identities of Rikka and Chiyo due to this, but cannot read the mind of Tsubasa, who is actually a boy. Her ability often lands her in the role of the "straight man", the one who points out the absurdity of others' actions. Sekine usually wears glasses because removing them causes her psychic powers to go out of control, wreaking massive havoc on her surroundings. • Tsubasa Tsuyoshi • Megumi Han • A boy who cross-dresses as a girl, as well as the technically only male among the main characters. He was forced to switch places with his twin sister after she learned that a popular idol was enrolling in the boys' school he had been accepted into. Tsuyoshi is unfamiliar with topics related to girls. He has a keen interest in astronomy and possesses extensive knowledge on the subject. • Tsubasa • Yu Serizawa • Tsubasa/Tsuyoshi's twin sister. She is the one responsible for Tsubasa cross-dressing as a girl. She is a self-centered person and forced her reluctant younger brother to comply by threatening: "If you refuse, I'll kill you." • Hanzō • Yūya Hirose • Chiyo's younger brother. He constantly looks for an opening to attack Chiyo, who is a runaway ninja, but has never once succeeded. • Buraian-sensei • Yōji Ueda • Tthe English teacher at Kashihara Girls' Academy. • Masukuma • Tomoko Kaneda • A mascot character that Chiyo admires. • Narrator • Hōchū Ōtsuka
