High School Students

Misao Zaitsu (財津操, Zaitsu Misao?)

Voiced by: Kenji Nomura

With a monstrous face and a huge body, Misao is feared by anyone who sees his face or knows his name (with the exception of his childhood friend and neighbor, Misaki Yamamoto). As expected, he is a capable fighter with plenty of enemies. However, he is also unexpectedly shy; being unable to convey his feelings through words, he writes his confession on a note, and he is unable to bring himself to even say Ayumi's name. He fell for Ayumi when he saw her picture while looking through his brother's class photos. After Ayumi made him realize that he scares her, he decided to watch over her at a distance. At the end when Ayumi realizes his good intentions, she tells him her "answer", that she will need to decide between him and his brother Mamoru. Misao understands this, and also decides Mamoru is his rival. He is a stark 194cm (6'4") tall. He seems to be similar to Migishima, another character from Ichigo 100%, due to his intimidating presence despite his good intentions.

Yuuji Arihara (有原有二, Arihara Yūji?)

Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino

He is Ayumi's older brother. He can be described as somewhat callous and rude. For example, he steals her cookies (even gives them a rating, given Ayumi's poor cooking and baking) and barges into her room without knocking. The reason for his behaviour may stem from his sister complex, which he is not very proud of. Like all other guys at his school, he cowers at hearing the name of Misao Zaitsu, and is mortified at the idea that his sister has fallen for Misao. When Misaki Yamamoto starts to show interest in him, he is at first puzzled as to why someone like herself would like someone like him. After some resistance, they seem to be together near the end.

Misaki Yamamoto (山本岬, Yamamoto Misaki?)

Voiced by: Rie Tanaka

A first year in high school, Misaki is close friends with Meguru and Yuu, as well as the next door neighbor and childhood friend of the Zaitsu brothers. Misaki ("Saki" for short) is a teenage girl who is rather tall for her age (she ranks as among the three tallest of the female characters) and is notable for having a well-endowed body, and is highly sought after by the boys around her (with the exception of Yuuji Arihara.) She has a very open relationship with her neighbors. She even comes into Mamoru's room through his window, and appears to be the only character in the series who's not afraid of Misao (mostly due to having grown up together). She somehow knows and is very proficient with wrestling, and can perform submissions instinctively in her sleep; in the anime, she was seen executing some on a hesitant Misao to get some answers out of him. She even has a penchant for loudly declaring the name of her wrestling moves as she performs them. In the manga, she is revealed to be a K-1 fan. Though she claimed she had no interest in relationships at the moment, she developed an interest for Yuuji Arihara when he shoved a lollipop in her mouth (showing an example to his friend, Yoshihiko Bessho). But although she likes Yuuji, she is not used to feeling vulnerable around boys, because she's usually cool and level headed. When Yuuji begins to express his interest in her (In the same way she did to him), it makes her shy and unsettled, so she tells Arihara to leave her alone. He later explains that love is about letting people see your other sides as well, not just your tough side. They seem to be dating after the series end. It was also revealed that being an only child, she's quite envious at those who have siblings, and thus, as part of her attraction to Yuuji, she also takes a liking to his younger sister Ayumi, treating her as a younger sister of her own.

Yuu Enomoto (江ノ本夕, Enomoto Yū?)

Voiced by: Satomi Sato

The focus of Chapter 3. Yuu is Kei's older sister, and is also good friends with Meguru and Misaki. She is a cheerful girl who never hesitates to make friends. Although she appears to be somewhat air-headed, she carries an avid interest for just about everything, making her very knowledgeable on a variety of subjects. As a result, she, like her sister, garners a lot of attention from many guys. However, whether its being oblivious or just nonchalant, she doesn't seem to mind being friendly with all of them. She also looks younger than her own younger sister, but that is due to her smaller frame and more innocent personality.

Meguru Watase (渡瀬めぐる, Watase Meguru?)

Voiced by: Ryoko Shiraishi

Meguru is a close friend of both Misaki and Yuu. In middle school, she was a national champion in swimming, making her a reserve candidate for the Olympics. However, Meguru quits swimming when she enters high school because her breasts grew too large and attracted too much attention. Fortunately, those who are openly attracted to her large breasts don't include Takei, whom Meguru secretly likes. She also wears small bras in attempt to make her breasts look smaller. Her friends encourage her to not be ashamed of them, and not hiding them. She eventually joins the school swimming team, at first to save the team from closure (because it had only five members and one of them quit) and taking the position as team manager, and, after some prodding from Takei, eventually as one of the swimmers.

Uemura (上村, Uemura?)

A classmate of Misaki and Yuu, he has dreamed of being a manga artist since he was 5 years old. He decides to use Yuu as the model for a story he is thinking up, and Yuu inadvertently becomes the first one to find out about his passion. He receives a lot of support from Yuu, and eventually becomes more interested on becoming her boyfriend than writing manga. Still, he is faced by the challenges he face with manga, as well as the competition for Yuu's attention.

Yoshihiko Bessho (別所良彦, Bessho Yoshihiko?)

Voiced by: Satoshi Hino

A first year in high school, Yoshihiko is Koyoi's older brother, with whom she is smitten. However, he does not return her level of affection, and is often annoyed by it. He is in love with Misaki, whom, to his dismay, likes his best friend Arihara, but they are in friendly terms such that she often confides in him about Arihara.

Kazuma Chikura (千倉一真, Chikura Kazuma?)

Nao's older brother, he is classmates with Yoshihiko and Yuuji. He never really gets much focus, but it appears he is somewhat popular with the ladies. To his dismay, all three of their younger sisters are coincidentally friends, and usually get in trouble together.

Gengorou Takei (武居源五郎, Takei Gengorō?)

Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai

Upperclassman who tries to persuade Meguru to join the swimming club at every opportunity. He challenged Meguru to a backstroke contest (to persuade her to join the team) and loses. Takei was Meguru's childhood friend - it is mentioned that they've taken swimming together since they were children. He finally succeeds in getting Meguru to join the swimming club as a star player after he admits to liking her as a girl rather than merely as a champion swimmer.

Yukito Renjou (連城由紀人, Renjō Yukito?)

Voiced by: Akira Ishida

Presently, he goes to a prestigious high school called Kaitei High School and is in his graduating year. He became close to Nao after she finds out he made the painting she often looked at. Upon his graduation though, he left Japan without telling Nao--he only left a letter thanking her for the support she gave him on his dream of volunteer work and painted her in the painting they were working on.

Nanoka Kyuuma (久間菜の花, Kyūma Nanoka?)

Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi

A first year in highschool, and Meguru's self-proclaimed rival in swimming since middle school. She shows up to challenge Meguru to a swimming race and beats her, making Meguru unsure of herself, and is also influential in getting her back into swimming.
