• Mayu Morita (森田 真由, Morita Mayu) • Kana Hanazawa • The protagonist of the series. She is often silent as she spends too much time thinking about what to say. She often tries to follow advice given to her by her mother, though this is often misinterpreted by her classmates. • Miki Murakoshi (村越 美樹, Murakoshi Miki) • Haruka Tomatsu • Mayu's best friend who is really chatty. She often gets lots of crushes on boys but usually ends up alone. • Chihiro Miura (三浦 千尋, Miura Chihiro) • Saori Hayami • Another of Mayu's friends who enjoys sweets. She has a crush on Ritsuki. • Hana Matsuzaka (松坂 花, Matsuzaka Hana) • Yoshino Nanjō • A shy young girl. Though she wishes to make friends with Morita she often cannot due to the way Morita-san stares which she describes as "soulless", and the aura Morita gives while concentrating. She has very curly blonde hair which she is self conscious over, on various occasions apologizing to Morita-san whom often gets her fingers tangled in Hana's hair. Her mother and grandmother don't get along very well. • Ritsuki Yamamoto (山本 りつき, Yamamoto Ritsuki) • Mie Hiraga • A tall long haired girl who is popular amongst the girls, often receiving many confessions. Despite her calm nature, she sometimes mispronounces her wording when under pressure, leading to some huge misunderstandings. • Girl with Glasses (メガネ娘, Megane Musume) • Maki Tsuchiya (OVA), Amina Satō (TV) • A rather unknown character which on various occasions appears hiding around corners. She appears to have some sort of interest in Morita-san and has a habit on constantly trying to surprise her which often ends badly. • Yumi Morita (森田 由美, Morita Yumi) • Ami Nanase • Mayu's mother, who was the one who gave her advice on manners, although the context in which these lessons were given generally involved confronting her husband about flirting with other women. • Mayu's Father (真由の父, Morita no Chichi) • Masatori Ki • Mayu's father, who often finds himself on the receiving end of Yumi's anger due to his constant nights out. • Kōichi Ōno (大野 浩一, Ōno Kōichi) Ryūta Kokubo (小久保 隆太, Kokubo Ryūta) • Kouta Oshita and Ryuichi Kubota • A pair of boys in Mayu's class who often view her interactions with her friends as some kind of yuri scenario. • Yukino Morita (森田 雪乃, Morita Yukino) • Mayu's cousin who is a bit shameless around her.
