Plot

Characters

Sakamachi Kinjirō (坂町近次郎)

A second-year high school student who discovers Subaru's secret. Frequently referred to simply as Jirō, he suffers gynophobia resulting in nosebleeds whenever a girl touches him. This is the result of the abuse he suffered from both his mother and sister using him as a dummy to practice wrestling; seeing him bleed was the only thing that stopped them, so his nosebleeds are self defensive.

Konoe Subaru (近衛スバル)

A second-year high school student who works as a butler for the Suzutsuki family and suffers from aichmophobia. When she was young she was noted to be antisocial and was not close to anyone, which worried her mother. She dresses like a male due to family circumstances where one of the family has to serve Kanade's family as a butler.

Suzutsuki Kanade (涼月奏)

The daughter and only child of the high school's principal, who appears to behave as a rich man's polite and elegant daughter, but she is quite sadistic. She enjoys tormenting and teasing Kinjirō by using his gynophobia against him. She does, however, give serious thought to finding a way to cure his gynophobia. Although her methods tend to be overly complicated or humiliating in some way, she does not deny she finds them amusing.

Sakamachi Kureha (坂町紅羽)

Kureha is Kinjirō's younger sister who is a first-year in high school and loves wrestling. She is a member of the handcrafting club. After watching and following Kinjirō and Subaru, believing him a male pervert cross-dresser, she attacks Subaru to reclaim Kinjirō, only to be quickly defeated. After this incident, and still believing Subaru to be male, she falls in love with Subaru, much to Kinjirō's chagrin. In the manga, she is devastated to learn Subaru is a girl when Subaru announces it.

Usami Masamune (宇佐美マサムネ)

Usami is a member of the Shooting Star Subaru-Sama fan club (or the S4), but quit afterward and is also a member of the handcrafting club. She is shown to have considerable leg power which she uses in the form of kicks. She is also shown to be a good cook, partly because she lives on her own and has to cook her own meals. In the anime, she is annoyed that Jiro became friends with Subaru because he got to do it before she did. While initially annoyed by some of Jiro's traits or lack of abilities which Subaru has, she eventually sees him for who he is and eventually falls in love with him. In the manga, she gets more time alone with Jiro, dates him and even kisses him in the winter time. She also once proposed to Jiro by saying that she wanted him and her "to be a family", which is the Japanese way of saying, "Will you marry me?"

Narumi Nakuru (鳴海ナクル)

The cat-eared student who is spying Kinjirō and Subaru. She is a busty first-year and a member of the crafts club along with Kureha, she is also revealed to be the chairman of the "Let's warmly protect Subaru-Sama committee" (Serve Subaru Observational Committee in the English dub) and is shown to have a fetish for glasses and boy love, which is expressed through her manga drawing of Kinjirō and Subaru, much to their chagrin.

Konoe Nagare (近衛流)

Subaru's father, head butler of the Suzutsuki family and Kanade's father's butler. He loathes Kinjirō, partly because Subaru ends up explaining he accidentally groped her and he is suspicious of his intentions towards Subaru. In the manga, it is revealed that he and Jiro's mother were lovers.

Sakamachi Jirō (坂町次郎)

Kinjirō and Kureha's father, and their mother's coach. He suffered at her hands much as Kinjirō does at his sister's. Before dying from an illness, he asked Kinjirō to become a good man. Kinjirō uses his name so no one will make a fun of his full name.

Shuredingā Narumi (鳴海シュレディンガー)

Schrodinger is Nakuru's older sister. She only appears in the manga adaptation and the light novels. She is very protective of her younger sister and excels in sports. After hearing about him dating her sister, she challenges Kinjirō to a series of events during the sports festival.

Sakamachi Akemi (坂町明美)

Kinjirō and Kureha's mother, and female pro wrestler. She is called "Queen of Knockouts". She has beaten everyone she has sparred with. Now no one wants to face her, she travels around the world fighting dangerous animals. She was involved physically with Subaru's father many years before she eventually met Jiro's father.
