High school student Junta Shiraishi is so ordinary and quiet that his classmates and teachers do not notice him at all, as if he were a mob character in a video game, that is, until his female classmate Nagisa Kubo pays attention to him and dares him to do things that would make him stand out.

Junta Shiraishi (白石 純太, Shiraishi Junta) Voiced by: Kengo Kawanishi For no discernable reason, most people are unable to notice that Shiraishi is present unless he does something to stand out. He has accepted this condition and is self-conscious about making a scene. He is a member of the school's environmental committee, but because of his lack of presence, others do not notice him taking care of the school plants and thus believe that they mysteriously grow without anyone taking care of them. Nagisa Kubo (久保 渚咲, Kubo Nagisa) Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa Junta's classmate and the only one who gives him attention. She is fond of teasing him. She is an intelligent student and ranked second during her first-year final exams. She has bad cooking skills. Akina Kubo (久保 明菜, Kubo Akina) Voiced by: Miku Itō Nagisa's older sister who works at a bookstore. She can also see Junta. She is also fond of teasing just like Nagisa. Saki Kubo (久保 沙貴, Kubo Saki) Voiced by: Sora Amamiya Nagisa and Akina's younger cousin. Like the others in the family, she has no problem noticing Junta. She looks up to and emulates Nagisa and is slightly jealous of the attention that she gives Junta. Hazuki Kudō (工藤 葉月, Kudō Hazuki) Voiced by: Ai Kakuma Hazuki is a fellow classmate to Shiraishi, Kubo, Tama and later Sudo and also initially a friend to the latter three. She does eventually get to meet Shiraishi and quickly comes around to befriending him as well. She tends to be the straight man of the group, usually putting a stop to Tama and Sudo's shenanigans if they have gone too far. Despite that, she isn't a kill joy, and likes to partake in any activities that the friend group engages in, such as study groups, sport competitions and even teases Nagisa on occasions. Tamao Taira (平 玉緒, Taira Tamao) Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu A bubbly and energetic gal, Taira Tamao (usually referred to as Tama) tends to act and speak before thinking things through. This usually means that she tends to make comments that might be embarrassing or hurtful to others without realizing it. That said, her friends recognize this and have come to terms that she usually doesn't do it out of malice. She tends to come up with schemes and silly shenanigans anytime she meets up with her childhood friend Sudo, with which she shares rather poor grades in their school classes. Sudo Yuma (須藤 勇真, Yuma Sudo) Sudo, a classmate of Shiraishi, befriends him after Kubo facilitates their conversation. Admiring Shiraishi's prior work on the Environmental Committee, Sudo expresses his desire to befriend him. Already friends with Tama, Hazuki, and Kubo, Sudo helps Shiraishi connect with the group. Upon learning of Shiraishi's feelings for Kubo, Sudo supports him as a devoted wingman. Yoshie Shiraishi (白石 由恵, Shiraishi Yoshie) Voiced by: Mamiko Noto Seita Shiraishi (白石 誠太, Shiraishi Seita) Voiced by: Mariya Ise Junta's preschool aged little brother. He adores his kind big brother. Unzen-sensei (雲仙先生) Voiced by: Naoki Tatsuta
