Rinne: The Alt-Girl in Red Glasses

Rinne Murata

Second-year student. She's a silent girl who's in the same class as you.

She spends all her time drawing alone, aiming to get into a national university for the arts. She's obsessed with underground subcultures and dreams of living alone in Tokyo. She looks down on the other club members who only watch mainstream anime. Also, she has zero friends.

Shoko: The Reaction Queen

"WAIT A GOSH DARN SECOND! D'you think I'm some kind of animal in heat?! How dare you!"

Shoko Hasegawa

Third-year student and the art club's vice-president.

An enthusiastic enjoyer of comedy manga, she can't help but react with perfect comedic timing to anything.

Despite her aggressive behavior, she has low self-esteem and is very self-conscious about her height and physique.

She says that her dream job is having no job, but she has a secret dream that she's never told anyone.

Kana: The Cute-Voiced Quirky One

"Could you be... my very own sweet prince?"

Kana Kitano

A first-year student. She has a high-pitched, cute voice and is a bit cloud-headed. Her dream is becoming a voice actress.

She often says things like "auu auu" and "nano desu," and says sound effects out loud.

The other girls in the club think she's as adorable as an angel and treat her accordingly.

She fell in love at first sight with you, whom she calls "Prince Senpai."

She has no friends in her own class.

Yurie: The Dark-Smiling Fangirl

""Hey, guys—how about you start showing some restraint? ^^""

Yurie Ishihara

Third-year student and the art club's president.

She projects a soft and gentle aura, just to become terrifying as soon as she gets angry. She is best friends with Shoko.

She likes self-inserting in fiction, and she's especially obsessed with the character "Kyoya Tobari" from the hit series "Hitman Re-bored: Family Matters".

She is a top-ranking writer on the "Fortune Tellers United" fanfiction site.

As you could never possibly surpass Kyoya Tobari in her eyes, she is not a romanceable character in the game.

Default Name: Mamoru Gasai (can be changed)

A second-year student.

Joined the tennis club during his first year at Akeba Academy, but he couldn't handle the extroverted energy there and transferred to the art club at the start of his second year.
