Characters

Her parents disappear soon afterwards using a tuna vessel as their escape craft. She is terribly scatterbrained, always forgetting everyone's names, fighting with Masamune's cat Ran and generally causing havoc and mayhem in whatever she attempts to do, even though she has the most honourable intentions.
Masamune IchinokuraThe eldest son of the Ichinokura family in his third year of high school. Immediately takes a dislike to Homare, and only loves his cat.
Housui IchinokuraThe second eldest son of the Ichinokura family in his second year of high school. Gets extremely frustrated having to repeatedly correct Homare for calling him Houshi (meaning Monk).
Sonichi IchinokuraThe youngest son of the Ichinokura family in his second year of junior high school. Of the three brothers he has the least enmity towards Homare.
