Characters

Yuuki Wakasa : She is the main actress and lives with her parents and three brothers. She has these three under control very well and is helping her mother a lot. She has been in love with her comrade Takaomi since 3rd grade. Even if she is just a child, her decisions are very mature and she is also a stubborn head. She does everything to achieve her goal and her friends are most important to her.

Takaomi Kai : He's Yuuki's big crush. He is always smiling and is a very friendly guy who almost never gets upset. He also accepts the advances made by Nachi with ease. At first it is not clear whether he just likes or loves Yuuki. The two have known each other for a long time.

Sota Inaba : He goes to class with Yuuki and Takaomi. He likes to learn, does research and is therefore very smart, but also a bit conceited and considers others to be underexposed. He always helps Yuuki as best he can and always tries to help.

Nachi Izumi : He's a classmate too. He can play tennis, ride a horse, sing and dance too. He's not very good at school, but he has very good grades in sports. He loves Takaomi and is therefore Yuuki's rival. He doesn't like just sitting around doing nothing. In Takamagahara he is a girl who can dance very well.

Taizo Hyuga : He's in the parallel class. He is a little feared by the other classmates because he is very strong. He also likes to act and be a leader. But he has an honest character. He loves to fight but is not very good at school.

Keima Sagami : He's in the same class as Taizo. He has a peculiar character and seems to live in his own dreamy world. He loves to collect waste and make something out of it, i.e. recycling, which is why many find him very strange. He's very good at school. A rather calm guy.

Ms. Nagato : class teacher of 5a. She is always smiling and is quite childish for her age. She hardly ever complains and when she's angry with someone, she smiles. She has a great sense of justice.

Each of these persons has a second identity in a different world, the Takamagahara. There they are all older than in their normal world, Nakatsukuni, except for Yuuki.
