Good Luck Girl!

Main characters

• Ichiko Sakura (桜 市子)
• [1]
• A 16-year-old high school girl possesses immense Fortune energy, granting her extraordinary beauty, intelligence, wealth, and health. Her excessive Fortune unconsciously drains luck from those around her, leaving them misfortune. While adored by male classmates, she is resented by female peers, her gentle appearance masking a strong-willed nature. A past trauma fuels her fear of closeness, isolating her to avoid betrayal. Using the Somin Shōrai, a magical item from Bobby, she materializes her Fortune energy into stuffed animal-like forms resembling the Chinese zodiac. This energy, when separated from her, can be transferred to others in peril to aid them.
• Momiji Binbouda (貧保田 紅葉)
• [1]
• A goddess of misfortune wears a plaid undershirt, red overalls, and one missing shoe. Sent to restore Earth's energy balance, she tries to steal Ichiko's Fortune energy but usually fails. Her misfortune-dense right arm is encased in a cast with built-in gadgets. She can become intangible to bypass barriers. Though constantly battling Ichiko—especially over jokes about her flat chest—she sometimes encourages her to help others. Bathing in the human world temporarily removes her misfortune, lightening her personality until she gets dirty again.

Humans

• Keita Tsuwabuki (石蕗 恵汰)
• [1]
• A high school classmate of Ichiko, Keita works multiple part-time jobs to support his four younger siblings, often sleeping through class as a result. Though typically serious and focused on earning money for his family, he was once highly popular with girls—until Nadeshiko's possessiveness secretly prevented others from approaching him. Over time, Ichiko grows romantically interested in him after bonding with his family, while he similarly develops feelings for her. By the series' conclusion, the two are in a relationship.
• Ranmaru Rindo (龍胆 嵐丸)
• [1]
• A transfer student in Ichiko's class, Ranmaru dresses like a male delinquent after being raised by her father to inherit his karate dojo.

She develops romantic feelings for Ranmaru Rindou, though her attempts to connect with her frequently lead to humorous misunderstandings.
• Misa Kobayashi (小林 魅沙)
• A classmate of Ichiko who shares the general dislike toward her. She stands out due to her large physique and unconventional appearance among the students.

She is frequently shown eating, often seen carrying or consuming.
• Rika Tsuwabuki (石蕗 梨香)
• A respectful seventh grader and one of Keita's younger siblings, she values proper manners and expects the same from her brothers. Initially disliking Ichiko for insulting their family, she warms to her after Ichiko saves her brother Ryuuta from drowning.
