Genre: drama, school life, comedy and romance
Hikari Hanazono ( Nicknames: Number Two, Stupid Girl, Idiot)
Hikari is the protagonist of the story and is ranked 2nd in the school. She is energetic and kindhearted, but rather dense when it comes to love. She is the daughter of a carpenter. When she was six years old she experienced her first defeat and humiliation when she lost to Kei Takishima in a pro-wrestling match. In order to beat Kei, Hikari convinced her father to allow her to attend Kei's prestigious elite school and strives to defeat Kei at anything, from academics to athletics.
Kei Takishima (nicknames:Kei)
Ranked first in school for having the best grades, Kei is the son of the CEO of Takishima Corporation. As Hikari's undefeated rival, he likes to refer her as "Number Two", which never fails to provoke her. He has a photographic memory and the ability to do anything right on his first try. He usually prefers to do things on his own until Hikari shows him how much fun it can be to work together with others. Kei is in love with Hikari, a fact that he does not deny, and has loved her since they were children, but he has not confessed his love to her because he knows that Hikari would simply laugh off the confession. Although he is stoic most of the time and always maintains a calm facade, things involving Hikari can bring intense anxiety out of him. It always bothers him whenever Hikari pushes herself too hard or causes trouble, but her strong will and determination are the reasons why he admires and respects her.
Tadashi Karino
Innocent and carefree, Tadashi is ranked 5th in school. His mother, a fierce and intimidating woman, is the director of the school and the primary reason why he is in the SA; she told him he would be allowed to do whatever he wanted if he became a member of the SA. He suffers from wanderlust and frequently likes to vanish on some journey and return later for special school events. Tadashi is smarter than he looks and acts, though is usually the character who is most often comically attacked (frequently by Akira and Kei) because of his careless comments or reckless behavior. He likes Akira, but often makes rude, weird, stupid or inappropriate comments that provoke her to beat him up. Tadashi also seems to enjoy playing with puppets, is fond of Akira's cooking, and appears to like being beaten up by her.
Akira Toudou
Akira holds the 6th position in school and is the daughter of the owner of an airline company. She is very fond of Hikari and cute girls, but apparently dislikes Kei, even though they are childhood friends. Akira is very enthusiastic about her afternoon tea, and has even constructed her own kitchen on campus. Akira apparently loves Tadashi, but never seems to hold back when hitting him for teasing her. In chapter 37, she finally confesses to him, and he tells her he returns her feelings.
Jun Yamamoto
Jun is ranked 3rd in school and is the son of a music producer and a talented vocalist. He is a nice guy and is usually quiet like his sister. Both he and his twin sister, Megumi, seem to lack musical talent, and have an odd attachment with Ryuu. Like Megumi, he is very possessive of Ryuu and seems to worry Ryuu as much as he worries about the two of them. It is uncertain whether or not Jun or Megumi have the ability to win against Kei since they never really make the effort to do so, especially if it involves any tedious or boring activity.
Megumi Yamamoto
Megumi is ranked 4th in school and is Jun's older twin sister. She is the daughter of a famous vocalist and music producer, but, like her brother, she does not possess any musical talent at all. A cute and nice girl who rarely joins in disputes, Megumi is always quiet and refuses to speak because of her bad singing voice. She usually writes on a sketchpad to communicate with others, but will speak when deeply upset, which can have devastating after-effects. The only person she is seen speaking normally to is Yahiro, because she harbors feelings for him. Like Jun, she is very close to Ryuu; she can be fiercely protective of her brother and Ryuu. Megumi also happens to be bad at sports and dislikes them.
Ryuu Tsuji
Ryuu holds the 7th position in school, although his test scores are a poor reflection of his intellectual prowess. He is in 7th place mainly because of the twins - Megumi tends to fall asleep and Jun becomes bored during the test, which results in Ryuu focusing the part of his attention on them instead of his own exam. He has been close to Megumi and Jun since they were very young; it is evident that he cares for the twins very much and it is stated that Jun is his favorite among the twins. He loves animals and is good with children. Ryuu is one of the few people in the world who knows Finn's real gender. He is the son of the CEO of a sports company and one of his family's clients is Yahiro's family.
