Umika Konohoshi, a shy high school girl, struggles with communication and believes she may never truly connect with others on Earth. Fascinated with space since childhood, she dreams of meeting aliens and one day traveling beyond the planet where she feels she does not belong. On her first day of high school, Umika meets Yuu Akeuchi, a transfer student who claims to be an alien with no memories of her past. Yuu possesses a unique ability that allows her to understand others by touching foreheads, which helps her connect with Umika despite her social anxiety. Encouraged by this encounter, Umika begins forming her first genuine friendship. Sharing a desire to reach space, the two decide to build a rocket together. They are soon joined by classmates who support their goal, forming a small group dedicated to their project.

• Umika Konohoshi (小ノ星 海果, Konohoshi Umika) • Yurie Funato • Airi Satō • A young girl who has a fascination with outer space and aliens. However, due to being ridiculed for her belief in aliens, Umika became shy and introverted and finds it difficult to communicate her true feelings to others. Due to the sense of social isolation she suffers, Umika believes she can only communicate with aliens and dreams of traveling to space in a rocket to visit them. She went to the same junior high school as Matataki. • Yū Akeuchi (明内 ユウ, Akeuchi Yū) • Seria Fukagawa • Momoka Ito • A young, energetic girl who happens to be Umika's classmate. She claims that she is an alien from outer space who is stranded on Earth, but everybody believes she's only joking. Umika is the only person who believes her, and the two quickly become friends. Yu suffers from amnesia and does not remember her life before coming to Earth, but still desires to return to her home planet. She also claims she possesses the power of "foreheadpathy", where she can read the emotions of a person if she touches her forehead against theirs. • Haruno Takaragi (宝木 遥乃, Takaragi Haruno) • Moe Nagamuta • Maho Omori • The vice president of Umika and Yu's class, Haruno is polite and helpful to everybody, especially towards Umika. She is a self described "lighthouse connoisseur" and also believes Yu is an alien. Her dream is to travel to space to spread Earth's culture to aliens and she quickly becomes friends with Umika and Yu. • Matataki Raimon (雷門 瞬, Raimon Matataki) • Shiki Aoki • Sora Yamazaki • A young tomboyish girl with a penchant for mechanics and a passion for robots. Her hobbies were met with mockery from her peers in middle school, leaving Matataki embittered about people and developing an aggressive and solitary disposition. Umika attempted to befriend her out of genuine interest, but was coldly rebuffed. However, after challenging her to a bottle rocket duel, Umika mustered the courage to express her admiration for Matataki; this leads to her joining Umika's group of friends. She's a fan of the mecha anime "Ganbarion", and wears goggles on her head to emulate the main protagonist. • Akane Emihara (笑原 茜, Emihara Akane) • Natsumi Takamori • Ayano Kudo • Honami Konohoshi (小ノ星 穂波, Konohoshi Honami) • Hina Yōmiya • Ririka Kayamoto
