Characters
- [1]
Title character of the series. He has dark blonde hair. He's a Tsundere who really loves Nontan. In front of Nontan, he always shows his "Tsun" side and hides his "Dere" side. His feelings towards her are secretly quite intense, to the point of occasionally resembling a stalker.
- Akkun's girlfriend. She has shoulder-length black hair. She's a Deredere who really loves Akkun. In front of Akkun, she always shows her "Dere" side. Akkun's Tsundere personality doesn't bother her.
- Akkun's best friend. He has dark blue hair. He knows about Akkun's and Chiho's Tsundere personalities. He's a serious game otaku who frequently comes to Akkun's house to play gal games on his TV, much to Chiho's frustration.
- Akkun's younger sister, presently in the eighth grade. Like her brother, she has dark blonde hair, which is tied into a ponytail that reaches her arms. Also like her brother, she's a Tsundere who really loves Nontan, but unlike Akkun, her love is more friendly than romantic. Unlike her brother, in front of Nontan, she always shows her "Dere" side and hides her "Tsun" side. On the other hand, she appears to demonstrate a growing romantic attraction toward Matsuo. At first, she consistently shows only her “Tsun” while fighting to hide her “Dere”, but this becomes progressively harder to do.
