Characters
Umanohone Bookstore
- Hiotan (ひおたん)
- Hiotan is a part-time clerk at Umanohone. Her nickname comes from the fact that she is not an otaku, but is interested in yaoi. Unlike the others, she does not know much about anime. Hiotan acts innocent towards things that are perverted, but admits that she is "someone who really likes porn books." She is easily embarrassed and often teased by Kantoku, whom she has a crush on.
