Characters

Kirari Tsukishima (月島きらり, Tsukishima Kirari?)

Voiced by: Koharu Kusumi, Drama CD voice by: Miyu Matsuki

Kirari is a cute 14-year-old girl who strives to be an idol, and the main reason to become one was because she fell in love at first sight with Seiji from SHIPS and wants to get closer to him. She has a huge appetite for food, and is clumsy, dense, overly trusting of others, and lacks common sense. Despite her shortcomings and lack of talents, she manages to persevere because of the help she receives from her friends and her unwavering resilience. As an idol, she gains countless friends and supporters, but her strongest bond is with Hiroto and Seiji, who act as her protectors. She has a unique characteristic of turning all artistic designs into mushroom shapes.

Throughout the series, she is caught in a love triangle with Hiroto and Seiji. In the beginning, she liked Seiji and thought of him as her prince. She tries to do what she can to impress him and make him fall in love with her. However, as time passes and she spends time with Hiroto, she begins to fall in love with Hiroto instead. In the manga, she eventually confessed her love to him during their first date.

In anime only, she is also a member of the idol unit Kira Pika which consists of her and Hikaru Mizuki, who is talented but has stage fright. Later she starts another group known as Milky Way with 2 other girls (Noel and Kobeni).

Hiroto Kazama (風真 宙人, Kazama Hiroto?)

A member of popular idol boy band, SHIPS. He became an idol at age 12, when he teamed up with Seiji. He is the oldest of 5 brothers, whom he takes care of while his parents are away. For some reason, he gets cold coincidentally when Kirari's grandmother is being starstruck of him or when she is mentioned.

In contrast to Seiji, who is kind and gentle, Hiroto is honest and strict, and is sometimes acerbic with Kirari. Despite how he much he treats her, he truly cares about her and likes to see her smile happily. Although he supports Kirari's feelings for Seiji throughout the series, he often worries about her when she faces difficult situations, and is usually the one who helps her out. He is very intelligent and talented in household chores, which he teaches to Kirari to help her on jobs.

Hiroto has a hidden soft side that he gradually shows more affection to Kirari, and also gets jealous of other guys, like Cloudy, who tries to get close to her, and on rare occasions, Seiji. By the end of the manga, he realized his true feelings for Kirari and returns her feelings when she confessed to him.

Seiji Hiwatari (日渡 星司, Hiwatari Seiji?)

Voiced by: Souichiro Hoshi (episodes 1-102), Shikou Kanai (episodes 103-153) Drama CD voice by: Wataru Hatano

A member of popular idol boy band SHIPS, as well as Kirari's initial love interest. Seiji became an idol at age 12, when he teamed up with Hiroto. He is from a very rich family, and his parents disagree with him being an idol and want him to get married into another rich family. :Throughout the beginning of the series, he seems oblivious to Kirari's feelings, and treats her like a little sister, even though he gets jealous of her closeness with Hiroto by episode 12. Since Seiji is as dense as Kirari, he always has a calm and clueless expression.

He has a deep love for Kami-sama and has a murderous look when something is spilled onto it. When he is wandering around in the city, he disguises himself as an otaku.
