Characters

Template:Voiced by; Any Cemar (Spanish)
Hotaru is a shy and timid but friendly girl who is Hananoi's girlfriend. She comes from a loving family and also has good friends, but has never been in love and believed she will never experience it. Her idea of love stemmed from a personal trauma which involved an old elementary school classmate cutting her hair out of jealousy, and it stuck with her ever since. However, she begins to warm up with the idea of love after she gets along with Hananoi and later starts dating him. She was in the same class as him in elementary school.

Hananoi is a popular and handsome student who is Hotaru's boyfriend. Often seen as nonchalant, sweet and loving, those who get to know him realize that he holds a secret side that he never shows. He is shown to be anti-social, stalker-ish, possessive, overly dedicated, and he would tend to dismiss anyone who tries to get along with him besides Hotaru. At the beginning, he asks Hotaru out for a trial relationship right after she had helped him after he got dumped by his ex-girlfriend and shortly began dating soon after. He has an attachment issue which occasionally makes Hotaru feel uneasy around him, and the root cause for it stems from his parents who never had the time to care for him since they were doctors helping underprivileged children outside of the country, and it hinders him from having a healthy relationship with any girl he dates, as he wishes someone would love him the way he loves. With the help of Hotaru, he begins to warm up to the people around him and forms a friendship with Keigo soon after. He lives alone, with his grandma often coming to visit him at times. In elementary school, his only friend was an old man who would often give him advice, and Hotaru, who was the only person who noticed him and was also his first love.

Yao is an old classmate of Hotaru and Hananoi and is also their co-worker at a part-time job they all work at. He is the root cause of Hotaru's trauma, as their classmate was jealous of them and it led to that specific classmate cutting Hotaru's hair out of jealousy. He tries to rekindle their friendship, but she often acts distant around him. Hananoi is severely wary of him, as he assumes that Yao wants to take her away from him. She calls Hotaru by the nickname 'Hotako', as he owns a dog that shares the same name as her.
