CHARACTERS

Itsumi Seno (Voice: Sora Haruka)

Classmate of Keito, Itsumi is nothing if not a real go-getter. Not only is she the Maikaze dorm leader, but she’s also student council president of Seikadai Academy!
But despite her best efforts, she just can’t seem to catch a break. While she has a regular gig as an extra in an anime series, there never seem to be any new jobs on the horizon that will give her that big chance she really deserves, and her agency is slowly turning its back on her. Will Keito be able to help her turn her luck around?

Yukako Kurusu (Voice: Kanau)

Yukako is the name on everybody’s lips. Known as Kurushii to her fans, her nickname comes from the fact that she's so beautiful, it's excruciating to be in her presence. With constant events and even her own radio show, she’s the hottest new idol around... but is being in the spotlight everything it’s cracked up to be?
Keito is one of her biggest fans, but little does he know that the idol of his dreams is about to come crashing into his life.

Konatsu Nagakura (Voice: Yui Kusuhara)

Keito’s younger sister is a bright and bubbly girl who’s more than happy to help fill in for Mom as substitute caretaker of the dorm.
She’s got a knack for cooking and an encyclopedic knowledge of voice actors, but the manager of Production Bloom sees something else in her... the potential to become a star voice actress! When Konatsu finds herself flung into the deep end of this complex and confusing industry, who better to turn to for support than her loving older brother?
