Plot

Being an adolescent girl is just one problem after another. Middle-schooler Arihara Ayumi receives a note from a high-schooler, a very large and intimidating boy, Zaitsu Misao, asking her out. Frightened and intrigued, she doesn't know what to do!

Characters

Ayumi Arihara (有原あゆみ, Arihara Ayumi)

A middle school second year, as well as the main protagonist of the story, Ayumi is one day asked out by Misao Zaizu. Though she claimed she would accept any offer, she is consistently unsettled by Zaizu's monstrous appearance. However, she shows she can be somewhat caring as well as crafty.

Kei Enomoto (江ノ本慧, Enomoto Kei)

One of Ayumi's friends, Kei is apparently very popular with guys due to her "mature" face. However, she sees the attention she receives as a hassle, and believes confessions of love are just a chore if the feeling isn't mutual. She openly admits that looks are a major factor in choosing a relationship.

Koyoi Bessho (別所小宵, Bessho Koyoi)

Another one of Ayumi's friends, Koyoi has an open brother complex. Once Misao starts hanging around, she, along with Chikura, stop walking home with Ayumi.

Rika Dobashi (土橋りか, Dobashi Rika)

Seemingly the most level headed out of the group, Rika seems to enjoy teasing her friends a bit. In the end though, she shows genuine concern for Ayumi's situation.

Nao Chikura (Chikura Nao)

Another one of Ayumi's friends, Nao is somewhat envious of Kei's attention. Along with Koyoi, she stops walking home with Ayumi for fear of Misao.

Misao Zaizu (財津操, Zaizu Misao)

With a monstrous face and a huge body, Misao is feared by anyone who sees his face or even knows his name. As expected, he is a capable fighter with plenty of enemies. However, he is also unexpectedly shy; being unable to convey his feelings through words, he writes his confession on a note, and he is unable to bring himself to even say Ayumi's name. He fell for Ayumi when he saw her picture while looking through his brother's class photos.

Yuuji Arihara

Ayumi's older brother, Yuuji can be somewhat callous and rude. For example, he steals her cookies and barges into her room without knocking. Like all other guys, he cowers at hearing the name of Misao Zaizu.

Mamoru Zaizu (財津衛, Zaitsu Mamoru)

A cheerful boy who dreams of being a paramedic, Ayumi falls for Mamoru quickly when he offers to take her to the nurse. Although he is in Ayumi's class, Ayumi only realizes that he is in fact Misao's younger brother a day after she meets Misao. He is somewhat taken back by Ayumi; he believes she is more fearsome than she may appear. Furthermore, despite Ayumi's feelings, Mamoru has a crush on his next door neighbor.

Template:Misaki Yamamoto

A first year in high school, Misaki is the Zaizus' next door neighbor, as well as their childhood friend. She has a very open relationship with her neighbors, and even comes into Mamoru's room through their windows. She somehow knows submission techniques, and can perform them instinctively in her sleep. Apparently has no interest in relationships at the moment.
