Introduction to Gentleman Alliance Cross..

The Student Council

Haine Otomiya (乙宮 灰音, Otomiya Haine)

Rank: Platinum

The "bodyguard" of the Student Council President. The main character of the story, Haine was actually born to the Kamiya family - being fifteen in 2004, she was born in 1989, the Year of the Snake (as she says). In fourth grade she was sold by her father, for 50 million yen, and/or adopted by the Otomiya family. She is not exactly the smartest person in the world, but has a good heart. Back in ninth grade she was a yankī (Japanese juvenile delinquent) but after she met Shizumasa (her first love) Haine changed her ways. Haine has false teeth because the leader of her "yankī" group (Kasuga) broke them when she left so she could go to the same school as him and meet him again. Once she finds out Takanari is posing as Shizusama, she has to wrestle her feelings for the both of them. She stated that when the time comes, she will choose one of them. As of Chapter 34, it is a known that Haine is the daughter of Itsuki (her father in the Otomiya family) and Maika (mother in the Kamiya family). Out of pain of this discovery, she becomes a delinquent again at the end of Chapter 35. She would have been a Silver if she had stayed with her "biological" family. However, she's a Bronze, who became a Silver when she became a student council member, then a Platinum.


Shizumasa Tōgū (東宮 閑雅, Tōgū Shizumasa)

Rank: Gold

The (real) Emperor. He is revered by mostly everyone at Imperial Academy, and it certainly helps that his family is very rich and famous. Shizumasa developed a love for Haine. He is very cruel but he is a real gentleman to Haine, because of his love for her. Due to his illness, which can be activated by running (see Chapter 17), however, his twin brother, Takanari, is currently posing as him. A slight difference between Takanari and Shizumasa is that Shizumasa's hair is parted on his right. Tanemura made it easier for the readers to tell the differences between them by shading Takanari's hair and not Shizumasa's. Because of his illness he is MIA for a large portion of the series but returns at the end of Chapter 36.


Takanari Tōgū (東宮 高成, Tōgū Takanari)

Rank: Gold

The Emperor of the Student Council. Shizumasa's older twin brother. Because of Shizumasa's health problems, Takanari is posing as "Shizumasa" Koutei, though no one knows this except Tōya (and, later, Haine). In the beginning of the story, he is cold and distant but, once influenced by Haine, he becomes more kind and soft. He hated Haine at first and thought she was annoying. Takanari also accused Haine of having a false love for him, saying that she loves him simply because of his uncanny resemblance to Kazuhito. Later he genuinely falls in love with her and wants her to become his. Takanari is the real author of the picture book "Shizumasa" drew. He hates his brother, who also turns out to be unpleasant. A slight difference between Takanari and Shizumasa is that Takanari's parts his hair on his left. He is also sometimes shown with earrings.


Ushio Amamiya (天宮 潮, Amamiya Ushio)

Rank: Silver

The secretary of the Student Council. Haine's best friend, who is very protective of her. She regards Haine as being more than just a friend, although Haine herself doesn't realize it. She is known as "Lady Hydrangea" (紫陽花の君) by the boys at school. Unfortunately, she absolutely despises boys but was indulging herself with them to get Haine's attention. She dislikes social climbers, especially students in the higher ranks. She joined the Student Council to be with Haine, by donating money to the school. She is also very knowledgeable of Japanese quotes and proverbs. Later in the manga, she says she loves Senri.


Maora Ichinomiya (一ノ宮 真央羅, Ichinomiya Maora)

Rank: Silver

The treasurer of the Student Council. Maora is really a male, his real name being Yoshitaka Ichinomiya, and is childhood friends with Maguri. His parents are fashion designers. He has a pet, a "mini-sheep" named Okori-makuri, who is the mascot of the series. Maora is also the Mailman. When he was discovered he told Haine he loved her and challenged "Shizumasa" (Takanari) for the Koutei title, just so he could make Haine his lover. He failed, because Haine made him realize that he loved Maguri, not her.


Maguri Tsujimiya (辻宮 真栗, Tsujimiya Maguri)

Rank: Silver

The vice president of the Student Council. Maguri is gay, although he may prove to be bisexual. Maguri is Takanari's best friend, even giving him the nickname of Shi-zun (he doesn't know that Takanari isn't Shizumasa). At first he was in love with "Shizumasa" but later falls in love with Maora. His family are yakuza members, but even then he has a soft side. His brother is Yūki, who was the former Emperor before Shizumasa.

The Otomiyas

Itsuki Otomiya (乙宮 樹, Otomiya Itsuki)

Rank: Formerly Gold

The former Emperor of the student council and secret boyfriend of the Bronze, Maika. Later, Haine finds out that he is and always has been her real father, and that Kazuhito Kamiya was not. Haine is the result of Maika and Itsuki, but was born after Maika and Kazuhito were married.


Ryōka Otomiya (乙宮 緑香, Otomiya Ryōko)

Rank: Bronze

Ryouka is Itsuki's wife, and claims she fell in love with him at first sight (when actually, she liked him when they were still in school). She had observed Maika and Itsuki and knew they were close 'friends'. She also said that she loved Maika when Haine asked her if a girl ever liked her.


Kusame Otomiya (乙宮 草芽, Otomiya Kusame)

Rank: Silver

Birthday; May 1 Blood Type : AB

He is Haine's stepbrother. Secretly, he fell in love with her at first sight when Haine was introduced, and refuses to call her onee-chan ("big sister") for that reason. Kusame is a silver, honor student and vice president of Imperial Academy Junior section's Student Council. He became president by earning points, not with money.

The Kamiyas

Kazuhito Kamiya (香宮 和仁, Kamiya Kazuhito)

Rank: Gold (although he was Silver before)

Kazuhito is married to Maika, Haine's mother. Kazuhito was originally the Vice Chairman of the student council when he was at the Imperial Academy while Itsuki was the Emperor. However, when Kazuhito first saw Maika he fell in love with her. He believed that she loved him as well, but after seeing her together with Itsuki he lost control and stole Itsuki's position through having a new election. He won the election by the students' "lack of confidence" in Itsuki and became the new Emperor. Immediately, he formed the rank of "Platinum" and granted the title to Maika, who became the first Platinum ever, announcing her as his girlfriend. Although he seems cold, unwelcoming and a definite brooding type, he genuinely loves Maika and it is very evident in the later chapters. He was believed to be Haine's father until it was revealed in the end of Chapter 35 that Itsuki is Haine's biological father. It is thought that Kazuhito does not care for Haine because of this, and that he has had knowledge of her not being his biological daughter for some time, and his reasoning for "selling" Haine to Itsuki Otomiya was not only for money that he needed, but to return her to her "real father". In Chapter 37, however, it was revealed through a letter he had written to the Principal of the Imperial Academy that he does care about Haine and her well being. When he did not come out of his burning home, Haine believes that he went to save Maika and goes in to save them. It turns out he made the password to Maika's room "HAINE" which shows how much he cares for her.


Maika Kamiya (香宮 舞加, Kamiya Maika)

Rank: Platinum (was a Bronze before)

Maika is married to Kazuhito and mother to Haine, Komaki, and Tachibana. She was originally a Bronze and the secret girlfriend of Itsuki Otomiya, but after Kazuhito won the Emperor election, she was forced to become his. Her family pushed her to marry Kazuhito as her father was ill and their company would suffer without the money they would receive from her marriage. Itsuki encouraged her to marry Kazuhito because it would benefit her family though it pains him to do so. She pledges that though Kazuhito may have her through marriage, he would never have her heart. After Haine is sent away to Itsuki, something inside her breaks and she mentally loses herself, eventually becoming ill and hidden from the world. In Chapter 38, she regains her memories and reunites with Haine at the hospital in Chapter 39.


Komaki Kamiya (香宮 小牧, Kamiya Komaki)

Rank: Silver

Komaki is Haine's biological little sister from the Kamiya family. She posed as Takanari ("Shizumasa") Tōgū's fiance to protect Haine from being sent back to their father. Though proper and lady-like, she tends to have her moments of outburst, proving that she is indeed Haine's sister. She harbors a love for Kusame and she loves her sister, Haine, whom she refers to as onee-sama ("big sister").


Tachibana Kamiya (香宮 橘, Kamiya Tachibana)

Rank: Silver

Tachibana is Haine's biological little brother. Upon seeing Haine, he mistakes her as their mother because they are alike in appearance. He was rude to her until he finds out Haine is his older sister. Later, he is very kind to Haine and has that "little boy" nature around her. Kusame was jealous of him because he spent much time and clung on to Haine. He is the soon to be "head" of the Kamiya family as the only male heir.

The Tōgū Household

Kasuga Tōgū (東宮 春日, Tōgū Kasuga)
Kasuga is, surprisingly, Takanari and Shizumasa's sister. She is a member of Haine's old gang.


Tōuya (十夜, Tōuya)
"Shizumasa"'s servant and one of his best friends. "Shizumasa" (Takanari) once said that Tōya is "the only person who understands me". He has a calm nature, and cares much about Takanari's happiness. He is very polite and gets nervous easily. He was adopted by the Tōgū family, therefore he serves them. He wants Haine and Takanari to be together.


Kiriaki (桐彬, Kiriaki)
Caretaker of the real Shizumasa.


Senri Narumiya (成宮 千里, Narumiya Senri)
The school physician, who loves cute high school girls. Apparently, he is a master of the martial arts as he was able to make Haine faint when she came to visit Shizumasa. He is a butler of the Tōgū family and is especially interested in Ushio.
