Taking place at the fictional Nanamori Middle School in Takaoka, Toyama, the series revolves around the daily lives of the Amusement Club consisting of Akari Akaza, her childhood friends Kyōko Toshinō and Yui Funami, and her classmate Chinatsu Yoshikawa along with the school's Student Council, which is made up of its own set of characters.

• Akari Akaza • Shiori Mikami • Akari is a polite, fun-loving, and benevolent redhead. Despite being portrayed as the main protagonist of the series, she is often overshadowed by the other characters and lacks prominence in the spotlight. She is well-known for her trademark hair buns, and her unassuming presence is humorously teased by the other characters. • Kyōko Toshinō • Yuka Ōtsubo • Kyōko is an optimistic and energetic girl who is one year older than Akari, and is the more substantial main protagonist. She has a lively personality and never passes up an opportunity for a laugh, which often involves causing Yui trouble. Kyōko has a crush on Chinatsu, who resembles her favorite anime character, Mirakurun. She is the object of affection for Ayano, the student council vice president, who is her opposite in many ways. Despite her lazy attitude, she often gets high scores on tests after cram sessions. She enjoys eating rum raisin ice cream and is also a talented doujin artist. • Yui Funami • Minami Tsuda • Yui is a cool-headed girl who often acts as the voice of reason in the Amusement Club. She is a childhood friend of Akari and Kyōko. Yui has a passion for video games and is portrayed as an exceptional cook, leaving Chinatsu enamored with her food. She is a reliable and dependable friend who lives alone in an apartment complex. Although Yui never openly admits it, she occasionally experiences a sense of loneliness, particularly when Kyōko is not around. • Chinatsu Yoshikawa • Rumi Ōkubo • Chinatsu is Akari's classmate. Originally interested in joining the Tea Ceremony Club, she ends up joining the Amusement Club because the former club was already disbanded. Kyōko, who has a crush on her due to her resemblance to the anime character Mirakurun, often pursues her. However, Chinatsu herself has a passionate crush on Yui, whom she looks up to and often fantasizes about. While generally cute, benevolent, and overly happy, especially in Yui's presence, she can sometimes be selfish and occasionally show dark thoughts. Her lack of artistic skills can be quite disturbing to others and frequently leaves them horrified and in shock whenever she tries to draw something.

• Ayano Sugiura • Saki Fujita • Ayano is the Student Council's vice president, known for her uptight and high-strung demeanor. She tends to hide her true feelings for Kyōko, often referring to her by her full name and exhibiting occasional acts of hostility. However, this behavior is unintentional, as Ayano is not comfortable openly expressing her affection. Despite being a diligent student who sees herself as Kyōko's rival, Ayano is consistently outperformed by Kyōko in tests, despite Kyōko's seemingly carefree attitude. Privately, Ayano harbors romantic and affectionate feelings for Kyōko, but she perceives showing her friendly and responsive side as a weakness. While Ayano may not openly display it, she genuinely cares about those around her and is selfless, often sacrificing her time and energy for others' sake. She also inadvertently makes puns that elicit laughter from Yui. Ayano's fondness for crème caramels is evident, as she keeps one refrigerated in the Student Council's room, although it often ends up being consumed by Kyōko or Sakurako. • Chitose Ikeda • Aki Toyosaki • Chitose is a member of the Student Council who is normally seen with Ayano. Despite her gentle disposition, she is a passionate yuri fangirl and often imagines romantic pairings, especially involving Kyōko and Ayano. Whenever she starts fantasizing, Chitose removes her glasses, and these daydreams cause her to have near-fatal nosebleeds. As Ayano's closest friend, Chitose is fully aware of Ayano's feelings for Kyōko and actively supports their getting together, although Ayano herself is often unaware of Chitose's efforts. She speaks in a soft Kansai dialect and likes tsukemono (Japanese pickled vegetables). She has a low tolerance for alcohol and tends to go on kissing sprees whenever she gets intoxicated. In the anime, this is only portrayed through alcohol-filled chocolates, however. • Sakurako Ohmuro • Emiri Katō • Sakurako is an enthusiastic candidate for the position of Student Council vice president with a complex for her petite build. Having been childhood friends since kindergarten, she shares a close bond with Himawari. Although the two view each other as rivals and are competing for the student council vice president role, their constant argument show that they actually consider each other as friends and share a deep affection. In terms of schoolwork, Sakurako hates it and exhibits even greater laziness than Kyōko. When Sakurako is confronted with homework assignments, she often throws tantrums. • Himawari Furutani • Suzuko Mimori • Himawari is another candidate vying for the position of Student Council vice president. She is well-endowed, which often leads to teasing from Sakurako, who is jealous of her early physical development. Despite her graceful demeanor, refined speech, and use of sophisticated vocabulary, Himawari does not come from a wealthy background. She is the opposite of her childhood friend Sakurako, with whom she frequently starts arguments. However, her tendency to speak directly and aggressively only toward Sakurako reflects the deep intimacy the two share. As the series progresses, Himawari holds affection for Sakurako and often assists her with school assignments. • Rise Matsumoto • Saori Gotō • Rise is the current student council president with tiny presence who often speaks in a whispering, quiet voice that only a few people understand, including Nana. She is Nana's "Explosive Friend" because she always suffers the explosions she causes.

• Mari Funami • Maaya Uchida • Mari is the daughter of one of Yui's relatives. She is a fan of Mirakurun and initially mistook Chinatsu for her, but she does not take kindly to Chinatsu after learning that her personality does not match her image. • Kaede Furutani • Aya Uchida • Himawari's six-year-old sister, Kaede is shown to be quite even-tempered and wise beyond her years. • Chizuru Ikeda • Momo Kuraguchi • Chitose's twin sister, who looks identical to her except for eye color, is shown to be very cold and distant towards most people, though she has a strong bond with her sibling. Much like Chitose, she often takes off her glasses to invoke yuri fantasies, pairing Ayano with Chitose and drooling instead of having nosebleeds. She strongly dislikes Kyōko, who constantly tries to play pranks on her and is seemingly a barrier against her fantasies. • Akane Akaza • Yui Horie • Akane is Akari's nineteen-year-old older sister who attends a university. She is secretly infatuated with Akari, with her room almost completely covered in photos of her. Akane often does various perverted things with her belongings when she is not around and reading many doujins about sisterly incest. • Tomoko Yoshikawa • Ayano Ishikawa • Chinatsu's older sister. She is a friend of Akane and has strong feelings for her. • Nadeshiko Ohmuro • Chiwa Saitō • Nadeshiko is Sakurako's eighteen-year-old intelligent and responsible older sister. Like Sakurako, she also has a petite build but also taller. According to November 2011 issue of Yurihime comic, Nadeshiko is in a romantic relationship with one of her friends, though it has not yet been revealed with whom. • Hanako Ohmuro • Rina Hidaka • Hanako is Sakurako's eight-year-old younger sister who is an elementary school student. She acts mature for her age, but also has some childish tendencies. The Ohmuro sisters tend to think Sakurako is lazy and abrasive, but they are shown to miss her when she is not around.

• Nana Nishigaki • Ryoko Shiraishi • Nana is a faculty member at Nanamori Middle School who is constantly trying various experiments, often using Rise as a test subject and has a love for explosions, which are generally caused by her experiments. She is one of the few people who can understand Rise's quiet voice. • Hiro Takaoka • Haruka Yamazaki • Hiro is Akari and Chinatsu's classmate who admires Kyōko's doujin works and is the heroine of Namori's other manga, Reset!. • Aoi Isurugi • Aoi is Akari and Chinatsu's classmate who is trying to find a way to make money. She is the secondary protagonist of the spin-off Reset! and Hiro Takaoka's best friend. • Ai Miwa • Nao Tōyama • Nadeshiko's classmate. • Miho Yaeno: • Nadeshiko's classmate. • Megumi Sonokawa • Sumire Uesaka • Nadeshiko's classmate. • Mirai Sōma • Ayasa Itō • Hanako's classmate. • Kokoro Ogawa • Reo Kurachi • Kokoro is one of Hanako's classmates • Misaki Takasaki • Aoi Koga • Misaki is Hanako's classmates who sees her as a rival. • Shihoko Azuma • Chinami Hashimoto • Shihoko is an art teacher at Nanamori Middle School. As Nana Nishigaki's close friend, she has known Nana since high school and wishes to draw her. • Tsubasa Minamino • Yui Watanabe • Tsubasa is the P.E. teacher at Nanamori Middle School.

• KurumiMirakurun • Ayana Taketatsu • Kurumi is the heroine of the fictional magical girl series Majokko Mirakurun. When Kurumi transforms, she heavily resembles Chinatsu. Her magic wand turns into blunt weapons, with which Kurumi beats her enemies. • RaikaRaibarun: • Reika is another magical girl who competes with Mirakurun and is secretly Kurumi's classmate. • Ganbo • Hikaru Midorikawa • Ganbo spherical robot wearing a pair of sunglasses. He is Rivalun's boss and the only character with a male voice.
