The serious-minded Io and kind-hearted Tsumiki share a close bond and clearly care for one another, but they have yet to become a couple. Their relationship falls somewhere between friendship and romance, developing gradually through a sometimes awkward but genuine affection.

• Tsumiki Miniwa • Chiwa Saitō (Drama CD), Rumi Ōkubo (Anime) • The main female protagonist, Tsumiki is a somewhat petite tsundere (with Kuudere attitude) who is dainty in stature and in love with Io. She has a tendency to grow cat ears when petted or amused. • Io Otonashi • Takahiro Sakurai (Drama CD), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Anime) • Io is the main male protagonist who works part-time at Hatch Potch. Dense yet very kindhearted, he is unaware of Tsumiki's feelings for him, but nevertheless considers her close. • Hime Haruno • Mai Nakahara (Drama CD), Kaori Fukuhara (Anime) • The clumsy and air-headed, yet sweet member of the group who works part-time at Hatch Potch. She also gets easily frightened compared to the other female characters. Hime gets nosebleeds whenever she becomes excited or infatuated by anything cute. • Mayoi Katase • Kana Ueda (Drama CD), Hitomi Nabatame (Anime) • Along with Sakaki, Mayoi forms a prankster duo in the friendship circle. Very savvy with electronics and almost never seen without her lab coat, Mayoi loved to tease Tsumiki about her crush on Io. It is implied early on that she may be a masochist. She tends to end her sentences with "nyan". • Sakaki Inui • Souichirou Hoshi (Drama CD), Shintarō Asanuma (Anime) • Io's best friend and partner-in-crime. Together with Mayoi, he forms a prankster duo in the friendship circle. Like Mayoi, Sakaki is also a frequent victim of slapstick, but normally by pure accident rather than karmic backlash. His sister owns a patisserie where he, Hime, and Io also work.

• Kikue Sakuragawa • Mika Kanai (Drama CD), Junko Iwao (Anime) • A clumsy and insecure teacher who wants a boyfriend, but is often depressed about it. She is close friends with Miiko. • Miiko Inui • Yūko Minaguchi • The cheerful owner of a cake shop named Hatch Potch and Sakaki's adult sister. She becomes one of Io's weaknesses as he cannot refuse an earnest request from her. Miiko is also a close friend to Kikue. • Saki Sakimori • Houko Kuwashima (Drama CD), Natsumi Takamori (Anime) • Saki is a schoolgirl who likes to tease Kyōya, the boy unaware of his crush on her. • Kana Miyama • Yukari Tamura (Drama CD), Hiromi Konno (Anime) • Kana is a cheerful and spontaneous schoolgirl who is close to Saki. • Kyōya Saibara • Atsushi Abe (Drama CD), Tsubasa Yonaga (Anime) • Kyōya is a student who is in love with Saki, and he acts in a tsundere attitude around her or whenever someone mentions his crush on her. • Ami Kirino • Ayana Taketatsu (Drama CD), Marie Miyake (Anime) • Ami is the energetic member of the Broadcast Committee which operates the school radio.
