Sixteen-year-old Keisuke Saji loves to fantasize about young beautiful women. He hopes to land the object of his affection, Akira Koizumi. Koizumi is a classic tsundere, switching between violence towards Saji and affection. While most guys take Koizumi's cold shoulder as a hint, Saji pursues head-on without having rejection faze him.

• Keisuke Saji • Shigeru Shibuya • Saji is a 16-year-old high school student with spiky hair who loves everything about women. • Akira Koizumi • Kae Araki • Koizumi is a young girl with blue hair and red eyes. Her looks and figure has the guys in school turning their heads, including Saji. However, Koizumi expresses her rejections from the proposals of the boys by physically assaulting them. Out of all the guys she meets, Saji is her favorite target to take her frustrations out on. • Yuki Umemiya • Miho Yamada • Yuki is Saji's busty childhood friend and somewhat an unintentional rival to Koizumi. Yuki has grown well-proportioned and shapely. However, her charm and body, while still able to make guys drool, are not as effective as Koizumi grace and mystery. Despite her appearance, she has very low self-esteem. • Ryoko Arigase • Ayumi Furuyama • One of Koizumi's friends, Ryoko has long purple hair. She tends to remain calm despite whatever is going on around her. • Maki Amakasu • Tomoe Hanba • Another of Koizumi's friends, Maki has brown hair either short or in pigtails. She tends to be a bit more high-strung than Ryoko. • Misa Kuroki • Ritsuko Kasai • Koizumi's lesbian friend who behaves as if they were former lovers. She is part of a small circle of friends who sell themselves to men with usually perverse intentions, Koizumi having become a part of the group for a while in her search for acceptance. • Noboru Hitachi • Kazuya Ichijō • Apparently an old friend of Saji and Yuki. Both he and Saji joined the basketball team at the same time to pick up girls. • Kaneto Sakurai: • Sakurai is a young boy who is gay. He is the same height as Koizumi. • Katsunori Urawa • Yuuki Matsuda • One of Saji's classmates who wears glasses. He encourages Saji to go forward with his declaration of love for Koizumi, despite everything backfiring on him. • Susumu Kuwabara • Shingo Tanabe • One of Saji's classmates who has brown hair. Like Urawa, he encourage Saji to go forward with his declaration of love for Koizumi.
