She is generally vulgar, outrageous and is a big troublemaker. She likes being the center of attention and making fun of her fellow club members. A model of a castle stands on her head before she loses interest in models.
  • An underclassman of Nee-san, Hazuki is one of the members of the Model Club, nicknamed . She is a classmate of Makimaki and sits next to her in class.

She has a model of a train on her head before she loses interest in models.
  • An underclassman of Nee-san, Makina is one of the members of the Model Club, nicknamed . She is a classmate of Okappa and sits next to her in class.

She was overweight throughout elementary school before rapidly losing weight in middle school. A model of a tank sits on her head before she loses interest in models.
  • A high school senior, Kuniki is the muscular captain of the baseball team. He wears women's underwear and often exposes himself in public. Because of this, he is well-known even in other schools.

  • A high school freshman, Azuma is often seen with his partner, Student Council Member A. The pair were once cornered by a pair of delinquents but were "saved" by Kuniki.
