Characters

[edit]

2nd Journalism Club

[edit]
Yūki Akamatsu (赤松 勇樹, Akamatsu Yūki)
Voiced by: Yasuaki Takumi
The main character. A boy with glasses that usually ends up as the straight man when dealing with his club mates at the Life counseling section. He got involved with the club when the president of the journalism club, Ayaka Nikaido, convinced him to join as a way of improving his social interactions.
Rino Endō (遠藤 梨乃, Endō Rino)
Voiced by: Hiyori Nitta
A girl with glasses and member of the science club. She is very proud of her scientific knowledge, doesn't like irrational behaviors and tends to give her opinions based on science. She frequently ends up in awkward situations with Yūki (mostly thanks to Ikumi) and seems to have feelings for him, but refuses to acknowledge it. Yūki is not completely unaware of her feelings, and seems to reciprocate them in secret.
Fumi Kujō (九条 ふみ, Kujō Fumi)
Voiced by: Moe Toyota
A member of the literature club, she is a sweet and cultured girl, but tends to over think when giving her opinions at counseling. Ikumi usually tries to grope her large bust. She comes from a wealthy and distinguished family. She has trouble speaking to her old fashioned and strict grandfather.
Ikumi Suzuki (鈴木 いくみ, Suzuki Ikumi)
Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa
A very energetic girl coming from the sports club. She gives the most physical and less deeply thought counseling of the club, but sometimes her counseling complements the other's. She usually tries to pair Rino with Yuki, but frequently ends up causing awkward situations between the two. She seems to be a bit perverted, as she has groped Fumi's large bust on one occasion. She always wears spats under her skirt.
Ayaka Nikaidō (二階堂 彩香, Nikaidō Ayaka)
Voiced by: Rena Maeda
The president of the journalism club and a relative of Yūki. She convinced Yūki of directing the Life counseling section as thanks for helping her keeping her club open. She also seems aware of Rino's feelings towards Yuki.
Emi Murakami (村上 絵美, Murakami Emi)
Voiced by: Saori Ōnishi
A girl with pink hair that is the Arts club president. After her club is cancelled because of the lack of members and bonding with Ikumi, she decides to join the Life counseling section as a consultant. She tends to get overly excited when asked to paint something.

Other

[edit]
Kouta Asano (浅野 浩太, Asano Kōta)
Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo
The President of the 1st Division newspaper who creates his own life counseling section in order to force Ayaka join his club. A very narcissistic person who hired students that have similar personalities (but not the same knowledges) as counterparts of the members of the 2nd Division club. After being defeated in a counseling contest with the 2nd Division, he agrees on shutting down his counseling section, but his perversion remains.
Kumi (くみ)
Voiced by: Hitomi Harada
