Characters
- Momo Adachi (Eng. "Peach", Eng. "Peach")
- Since Momo was sick for a few weeks at the beginning of the new school year, she has no friends apart from Sae . Because of her dark skin and light hair, she is often mistaken for a typical Kogal - beautiful, stupid and easy to get. Since Momo tans very quickly, she doesn't dare to join the swimming group despite her great talent. She is in love with Toji with all her heart, but Sae does not allow it.
- Kazuya Tojimori (often called "Toji")
- Toji has been Momo's crush since middle school. Even if he's outwardly cool, he's actually rather shy and seems out of reach for the girls at school. Not least because of this, Momo didn't confess her love to him at the beginning.
- Kairi Okayasu
- Kairi is a love of girls. He never misses an opportunity to get new phone numbers and appointments. He's never in a committed relationship, but always has dozens of admirers. To his regret, Momo is not one of them at the beginning.
- Sae Kashiwagi
- Sae is Momo's only friend and her greatest adversary at the same time. She imitates Momo, disrupts her relationships and sabotages them wherever possible.
- Ryo Okayasu
- He is Kairi's older brother. Just like his brother, he is a heartthrob. Although he is Kairi's brother, he is also his greatest enemy. Ryo has taken every friend from Kairi so far.
- Aki Misao
- Is a doctor at Momo's school. She used to be in the same class as Ryo when she was a student, making her Kairi's tutor. she was also with Ryo once.
