* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Terumi seems to like taking surreptitious shots at Yukito for being a NEET, and he's not too fond of that, but he doesn't find any retort (except in his head). She most likely took it from her father Nobuteru, who doesn't spare his sarcasm to his older brother - or his brother's children.

The son of Masashi.

* FirstPersonSmartass: Yukito alternates between normal narration and some distinctly blasé inner comments in chapter 1.



The daughter of Yumeko, the second wife of Masashi, making Yukito her stepbrother.

* BigBrotherAttraction: Yue shows signs of this towards Yukito in chapter 4, apparently from the time her mother married Masashi and Yukito was a ''bit'' more cheerful than he is now.
* ExtremeDoormat: Yue rarely speaks, never protests, just goes along with whatever she's told, only smiles meekly and cooks for everyone. Terumi finds that character trait extremely irritating and calls her out on it, as she herself aspires to be a 'self-made woman' of sorts.

The older son of the Tadamura.



The cadet of the Tadamura.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Nobuteru is implied to have been TheUnfavorite among the three siblings (according to himself at least) and he ended up as the most rebellious among them. Masashi, on the other hand, is a serious man who seems to still follow the village's customs faithfully, while Tsunemasa is more candid and optimistic.



The youngest son of the Tadamura.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: He has a darker skin tone than the rest of the family
