List Of Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl Characters

The Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl anime and manga features a cast of characters created by Satoru Akahori and illustrated by Yukimaru Katsura. The series takes place in the fictional Kashima ward in Tokyo, Japan, and the storyline follows the lives of a group of friends and the relationships they share through life-altering changes.

A normal, albeit effeminate high school boy named Hazumu Osaragi is pressured by his friends Tomari Kurusu and Asuta Soro to confess his love to his friend Yasuna Kamiizumi, however, she rejects him. Hazumu takes this hard and climbs the nearby Mt. Kashima to try to forget what happened, but while on the mountain is seriously injured when an alien spacecraft crash lands on him. In order to rectify this, the alien revives Hazumu, but inadvertently turns him into a female, right down to the DNA level. Afterwards, the plot often revolves around whether Hazumu's new female body changes or does not change her relationships with her friends and loved ones. Throughout the series, a love triangle emerges between the three female main characters of Hazumu, Yasuna, and Tomari, Hazumu's childhood friend. This mainly consists of the characters unsure whether to act on their feelings due to them being the same sex. Another conflict arises between Yasuna and Tomari who fight for Hazumu's affection while she is still unable to choose between them.

The characters that Akahori developed were praised for creating a full bodied impression of the people, and being honest about their feelings, however were described at the same time as "seemingly stereotyped" that gain depth through thoughtful scenes. The visual presentation of the characters was commented on by reviewers, writing that while the female cast "provides a great contrast of looks, the male characters, though easily distinguishable, stand out less."

    Lastly, his tomb
    Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
    And none shall speak his name.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    The restlessness that comes upon girls upon summer evenings results in lasting trouble unless it is speedily controlled. The right kind of man does not look for a wife on the streets, and the right kind of girl waits till the man comes to her home for her.
    Sedalia Times (1900)

    As for an authentic villain, the real thing, the absolute, the artist, one rarely meets him even once in a lifetime. The ordinary bad hat is always in part a decent fellow.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.
