open/close all folders
Main Trio
Shuuichi Nitori
Voiced by: Kousuke Hatakeyama
- Attractive Bent-Gender: Due to the fact that she is a trans girl, it actually goes both ways:
- Since most of the society recognizes Nitori as a boy, she gets a lot of "Oh, Nitori is so pretty when he crossdresses!" in-universe, which make several boys crushing on her before learning that or despite knowing that she is trans.
- She is also very attractive when presenting as a boy. When she went to her elementary school reunion dressed in mostly masculine clothes with a short haircut she got a lot of attention from the girls. One of the girls from her elementary class even had a crush on her.
- Betty and Veronica: During the brief Shuuichi-Maho-Seya Sibling Triangle. Socially, Maho as Seya's classmate and a cis girl fits the Betty role, while Shuuichi as "the mysterious girl" later revealed to be Maho's trans little sister, places as Veronica. Personality-wise it's obviously the other way around.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Nitori never becomes violent, but when she finally stands up for herself, she gets to
tremendously break verbally her former bully, Doi, almost making him cry. She's actually incredibly tough, emotionally. - Bullied into Depression: She fell into a rut when boys at school bullied her after she went to school in a girl's uniform.
- Chick Magnet: She attracts a lot of girls. Apparently even in her original elementary school she was this.
- Delinquent Hair: Right before high school began she dyed her hair bright red, and this was how others reacted. Alas it only lasted one chapter.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Her hair was a lighter brown in elementary but darkened within a few volumes. The manga handwaves it by implying it's puberty related.
- Even the Guys Want Him: Nitori is a girl, but few people actually acknowledge this, so this trope is in a full effect in-universe, with the boys being perplexed about how they are attracted to the "girly-looking" Nitori-kun.
- Expository Hair Style Change: Grew her hair out after hitting a depression then cut it even shorter than before due to the stigma of a boy having long hair.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: She is shown in early chapters to like baking.
- Expy: In terms of design she's this to the protagonist of an earlier manga by the mangaka.
- Height Angst: Becomes dysphoric over her height once she begins hitting growth spurts.
- In-Series Nickname: "Nitorin".
- Meaningful Echo: Throughout the story, whenever she talks or confesses about her transgenderism, she always says, "I want to be a girl." But in the final line of the manga - the title of her book - she instead simply says, "I am a girl."
- Meaningful Rename: After finally deciding to transition at the end of the manga, she asks Yuki to give her a feminine name. She calls her "Lily".
- Official Couple: With Anna.
- Pass Fail:
- The first time was when she got a haircut and it ended up looking more boyish than she expected because she was hitting puberty.
- In high school a few women talk behind her back about her because of her voice.
- Prone to Tears: Lampshaded (rather cruelly) by Maho:Anna: ...I made your little brother cry.
Maho: Huh? Shuu always cries. - Signature Headgear: Nitori is associated with headbands. She's a trans girl whose LGBT Awakening was being forced to wear a headband by classmates as a joke. Nitori initially wore headbands to pass as a girl, but she phased them out as a part of her Character Development.
- Supreme Chef: When it comes to baking at least. This was referenced often in elementary, but it stopped being brought up after a few volumes.
- Uncanny Family Resemblance: With Maho. The two can pass as twins when they're in elementary. Their resemblance is increased when Nitori grows out her hair into a near-identical style to Maho.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: Sorta. She's a soft-spoken, docile child who's good at baking and is quite feminine. She says what she feels and has spoken up for her friends at times. In later chapters she's begun to break more out of this trope but still fits.
Yoshino Takatsuki
Voiced by: Asami Seto
- Adaptation Dye-Job: His eyes are black (stylized brown) in the manga but golden in the anime.
- Ambiguous Gender Identity: Most of the manga presents Takatsuki as a counterpart to trans girl Nitori and depicts him as a transgender boy. In high school, the line starts to blur and ultimately she comes to the conclusion she would rather live as a girl, though she's still depicted as confused over her gender. Considering the situations surrounding the revelation and the bittersweet way it's presented, fans are stumped.
Word of God is that it's up to the reader on whether they see the character as trans or not. - Attractive Bent-Gender: Similarly to Nitori, though more complicated (see Ambiguous Gender Identity). However it's safe to say that whatever Takatsuki identifies as, he's still going to look damn good when dressed as opposite gender.
- Berserk Button: Bullying Nitori. Also, his period and, to a lesser extent, other physical or social aspects of femininity coming from his being assigned female at birth. Teasing him about it made some boys in their elementary school seriously beaten. He's generally only tough in situations he feels pressured in.
- Curtains Match the Window: He has black eyes (presumably stylized brown) and black hair.
- D-Cup Distress: He hates it when his breasts begin to grow. He even goes to buy a binder to flatten his chest so that he does not have to wear a bra.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His hair was brown in the first two volumes instead of black. His eyes were originally brown before turning black.
- Even the Guys Want Him: He attracts a lot of guys, albeit ones that see him as a girl.
- First Period Panic: He got his first period early on and hated it from the start. It's his Berserk Button.
- Girliness Upgrade: Takatsuki was treated as a transgender boy for most of the run and showed general dysphoria and a disdain for feminine things. Part way during high school, Takatsuki became a model but started androgynous. Eventually Takatsuki grows her hair out, begins wearing girl's clothes, and decides not to transition. In the end she leans more towards a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak than Bifauxnen tomboy.
- Height Angst: He's tall for a girl, but he wishes he was taller so that he wouldn't be short for a guy.
- Kick the Dog: Telling Saori that her beloved Nitori-kun now dates Anna, and thus completely crushing the girl? Not cool, Takatsuki. He regrets it almost immediately, though
- One of the Girls: Due to being raised a girl, Takatsuki spends most of his time around female characters.
- Platonic Life-Partners: Seems to be this with Nitori. Subverted in the end. She's grown somewhat distant from Nitori, who has an unrequited crush on Takatsuki. Though her final appearance in the manga together shows that their friendship was very important to both of them.
- Real Men Wear Pink: If the colored art is to be believed Takatsuki has a thing for pastel colors. His hoodies are apparently pink. Could be his parents buying the clothes though.
- Shading/Colour Dissonance: He had dark brown hair for the first few volumes but it was shaded in a way that made it look black. Later, he was retconned into having black hair.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: No, Nitori really isn't his girlfriend. And Chiba isn't his girlfriend either.
- Teacher/Student Romance: He seems a bit confused about whether it was a crush or not. He felt pressured by everyone else to have a crush on somebody, but other people thought he fell for a teacher in middle school.
- Trans Tribulations: Specifically a transgender man. Eventually subverted, as she goes back to identifying as a girl in highschool. Maybe, Wordof God says it's up to readers to decide for themselves if Takatsuki is still trans or not.
- Trademark Favorite Food:
- By his own admission cheesecake is this.
- Takatsuki is shown drinking orange juice a lot.
- Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Nitori. The legion of Shippers On Deck doesn't help. And then the tension with Chiba.
- Unsettling Gender-Reveal: At his first day in the high school to a girl named Kayoko Masuda. Well, about the fact of being physically female, anyway.
Saori Chiba
Voiced by: Yuka Nanri
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Her eyes are black past-elementary but the anime still has her with brown eyes.
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: She's always been distant from others and has very few friends.
- Broken Ace: Chiba is a talented, intelligent, beautiful girl who attracts most of the boys despite not caring for them, but she also is emotionally unstable, can't get along with majority of people, and can't win love of the person she desires.
- Cannot Tell a Joke: She only tries once in the manga but her "joke" didn't come off as one. It just created an awkward silence.
- Characterisation Click Moment: Saori's character clicked in the latter half of elementary. After her failed Love Confession to Nitori, her aloofness and attitude became set in place (though she tries to become nicer in high school).
- Characterization Marches On: A Justified case. In early volumes her personality was very different, but then, again - it is a story partially about how adolescence and circumstances in it can form child's character.
- Curtains Match the Window: She originally had brown eyes which were later changed to a stylized black, which matches her black hair.
- Deadpan Snarker: She's quite sarcastic and snappy.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Though the series arguably shows both of the processes, frosting and defrosting, with the Ice Queen period during her middle school years.
- Dude Magnet: Most of the named boys from her grade, as well as Fumiya, have a crush on her. She despises most of them and is indifferent to the rest, partly because of how different they are from Nitori.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Her character design was originally presented as younger looking, but when her characterization changed, she switched from Tareme Eyes to Tsurime Eyes and became more mature looking. Her eyes also were originally brown but later became a more stylized black.
- Friendless Background: She can't get along neither with girls (except for Sasa) nor boys. When love problems appear and cause a rift between her and her two transgender friends, Saori ends pretty much alone, excluding her only cis girl friend and another trans girl. Some other people still keep trying to get close to her, but she isn't too willing to cooperate.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Or more like, The Friend That Doesn't Like (almost) Anybody Else, with some of the others finally losing patience for it.
- Girlish Pigtails: Wore them in middle school, and oddly only while at school; she had her usual cut when in casual clothes.
- Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Her eye style changed early on. Originally she had the more wide-eyed expression everyone else does, though she eventually permanently changed. She essentially went from Tareme Eyes to Tsurime Eyes.
- In-Series Nickname: At least Sasa calls her "Saorin".
- Incompatible Orientation: Sort of, with Nitorin. She likes Nitorin and Nitorin likes girls, but Saori sees Nitorin as a boy, which certainly doesn't help their relationship.
- Jerkass: She certainly doesn't hesitate to throw tantrums all around her.
- Love Hurts: Arguably the biggest victim of this. She even can't stay as close to Nitori as she gets to be to Takatsuki and poor girl seems to be slightly afraid of her extreme personality.
- Maybe Ever After: Oddly enough, the series ends with her and Doi on that note, with Fumiya treated a bit like a Disposable Fiancé.
- No Social Skills: Atypically, not Played for Laughs and not supposed to be cute.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Several characters have black hair and pale skin but Saori fits the archetype most.
- Single-Target Sexuality: For most of the manga she only has eyes for Nitorin.
- Stepford Snarker: Early chapters aside, Saori is prone to sarcastic remarks and sass. She tries to dial it back in high school.
- Turn to Religion: In elementary, she converts to Christianity to absolve herself of her guilt towards her behavior.
- Trademark Favorite Food: It's unclarified how much she likes it but Saori is repeatedly shown drinking green tea.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: Acts this way towards Nitori occasionally. Oka can tell a tale on that subject.
- Yandere: She doesn't go Ax-Crazy or outright psycho over her unrequited love, but sometimes loses it, and is the most realistic example available.
Peers
Makoto Ariga
Voiced by: Yūichi Iguchi
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Her eyes went from brown to black.
- Ambiguous Gender Identity: Introduced as a foil to Nitori but never got the same amount of transgender-related focus as Nitori, most fans thought Mako was a Camp Gay Wholesome Crossdresser. In high school, it's shown otherwise and she even comes out to her mom. The anime didn't seem to think she was female either as she's dressed as a boy in an Imagine Spot, while the manga parallel has her in a girls uniform.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Not incredibly big but still larger than most of the other characters.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Mako originally had Opaque Nerd Glasses however within a few chapters it was changed so that her eyes could be seen constantly.
- Foil: To Nitori, being much more self-anxious and nervous about presenting as a girl.
- Gender-Blender Name: "Makoto" is a unisex name, which is lucky for her since she's trans.
- I Am Not Pretty: Unlike Nitorin, whose physique makes somehow easier for her to present as a girl, Mako is very self-conscious about not getting this: "Oh, so cute!" reactions when she dresses as a girl.
- Hopeless Suitor: To Oka and a couple of male teachers.
- Nerd Glasses: Originally her eyes were hidden behind her glasses.
- Odd Friendship: She gets along surprisingly well with Saori.
- Serious Business: Hair clippers and dressing up as girls.
- The Smart Girl: Perceptive and sometimes more self-confident than Nitori, she frequently supports and defends her from others' inadequate aggression, even cutting Maho's bullying of her sister and shutting her up once.
- Sobriquet Sex Switch: Makoto requests for Nitori to refer to her as "Mako-chan" not soon after they begin being friends. She usually goes by "Mako".
- Teacher/Student Romance: Incurable case.
- Youthful Freckles: She gets her freckles from her rather youthful mom.
Anna Suehiro
Voiced by: Yui Horie
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Anna's eyes are brown in the manga, violet in the anime
- Cool Big Sis: To Nitori, initially; a much needed one when the biological sister was a Big Sister Bully. They later become love interests.
- Foil: To Maho. Maho is more out-going and appears approachable, but has a strong jerkass streak and cannot treat Nitori being transgender civilly. Anna is reserved and a lot of people thinks she looks scary and cold, but is kind to Nitori, becoming a Cool Big Sis to her first and girlfriend later, and is even at ease with Nitori planning to transition.
- If It's You, It's Okay: For Nitori in the last chapter, declaring that she's a lesbian since Nitori is a girl.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Mild. She finds some unusual things to be cute.
- Official Couple: With Nitori.
- Shrinking Violet: Though you wouldn't guess at first glance.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She originally bullied Nitori and was mean towards Maho, but it turns out she's pretty nice on default.
- Tsundere: It seems like she was this with Nitori but it's just her Sugar-and-Ice Personality showing.
- Tsurime Eyes: One of the few characters with such. She sometimes gets a "cat eyed" expression.
Shinpei Doi
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: At various points of the story he was implied to be attracted to Chiba as much as he disliked her. And he asks her out in the last chapter.
- Bully Turned Buddy: Throughout elementary and middle school, he and Oka bullied Nitori for being girly. When they're put in the same all-boys school, they become reluctant friends.
- Expository Hairstyle Change: At the time of getting into high school (when he stops being The Bully and gets slightly picked on by upperclassmen).
- Hidden Depths: He turns out to have quite a comical talent and generally to be not so awful person, after he gains some respect for Nitori.
- Jerkass: Initially, though he gets some development, even becoming sort of friends with Nitori later. And after becoming her friend, he turns into a full-on Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- Likes Older Women: He felt attracted to Yuki to the point of forcing Nitori to let him visit her.
- Maybe Ever After: Oddly enough, hinted with Chiba in the last chapter, as we don't see her answer to his confession, and she reacts to it more emotionally than to any other signs of interest from the boys in the manga.
Riku Seya
Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka
- Adaptation Dye-Job: His eyes went from brown to golden.
- Attractive Bent-Gender: He doesn't look so bad in a maid costume. Even the girls thought he looked cute.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Seya's history of becoming Maho's boyfriend wasn't very easy.
- Brutal Honesty: When Maho (rather rudely) ask him directly if he has a crush on her, he flatly responds that yes... but he's recently met a mysterious beauty whom he likes better.
- Chastity Couple: Maho blurts out in high school that they've never had sex despite dating for years.
- Demoted to Extra: Sometime after dating Maho he became regulated to just being "Mako's boyfriend".
- Nice Guy: Despite their, well, awkward encounters in the past, he cares for Nitori's emotional well-being and treats her far better than Nitori's own sister does.
- Tsurime Eyes: To the point where they're often drawn almost like cat eyes
- Understanding Boyfriend: When you're dating a Jerkass Bratty Teenage Daughter with Hair-Trigger Temper, you don't have much of a choice.

- Shoo Out the Clowns: She starts appearing less and less when middle school comes around and the plot takes a more serious twist.
Chizuru Sarashina
Voiced by: Saeko Chiba
- Abhorrent Admirer: A platonic version. She would really, really like to be Chiba's friend. The feeling is not mutual.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Her eyes have a golden hue in the anime. In the manga they're just brown.
- Bifauxnen: She can pass as a long haired boy when wearing a gakuran.
- Demoted to Extra: In high school. She only appears a few times.
- Cloudcuckoolander: She has an... odd way of thinking.
- Crossdresser: She seems to prefer female or androgynous styles in casual wear outside of school, but she doesn't think twice about dressing in her male middle school uniform. She even wore it on the first day of school.
- Genki Girl: She's very spunky.
- Girlish Pigtails: Wore them occasionally in middle school. In high school it was her default style, which contrasts with Kanako and Saori, who stopped wearing theirs at the same time.

Momoko Shirai
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki

- Clingy Jealous Girl: To Chizuru.
- Demoted to Extra: Appears sparingly after gradating middle school.
- Flat Character: There's not much to her besides her friendship with Chizuru and her clingingly personality.
- Sailor Fuku: Her high school uniform.
- Satellite Character: She revolves around Chizuru.
Fumiya Ninomiya
Voiced by: Kaoru Mizuhara
- Ascended Extra: For a while in high school.
- Creepy Crossdresser: Not really creepy, but his reasons for crossdressing are rather petty.
- Demoted to Extra: He was Nitori and Mako's upperclassman in high school but eventually took a backburner to Doi. Not even dating Saori helped him get more spotlight.
- Dogged Nice Guy: To Chiba. He can be bit cocky and a liar though, so the "nice" part is somewhat debatable.
- Expository Hair Style Change: He grew his hair out after Saori started dating him.
- No Smoking: His smoking isn't in the anime because underage smoking isn't allowed in anime.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour: When he was first shown showing, he couldn't have been older then thirteen.
Oka Takanori
Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura

Family
Maho Nitori
Voiced by: Nana Mizuki
- Anguished Declaration of Love: To Seya.
- Ascended Fangirl: When she makes it to the same model agency where Maiko-chan works.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: With Shuuichi and Seya, occasionally.
- Betty and Veronica: During the brief Shuuichi-Maho-Seya Sibling Triangle. Socially, Maho as Seya's classmate and a cis girl fits the Betty role, while Shuuichi as "the mysterious girl" later revealed to be Maho's trans little sister, places as Veronica. Personality-wise it's obviously the other way around.
- Big Sister Bully: She spends much of her screentime bullying her sister.
- Big Sister Instinct: She abuses Shuuichi constantly, but NOBODY (else) MESSES WITH HER "BROTHER"!
- Bratty Teenage Daughter: She starts out as a preteen but otherwise fits.
- Fangirl: THE fangirl of Maiko.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: She gets mad very easily. She gets worse as time goes on, but by high school she begins to cool down.
- Jerkass: Aside of Transgender problems and the lack of understanding from her environment, having this sister alone would gain Shuuichi status of The Woobie.
- Kick the Dog: About 90% of her treatment of Shuuichi. Though slightly justified in cases when her transitioning complicates her life, or when she tries her underwear on...
- No Periods, Period: Averted. First Foreshadowed in Chapter 7, and it finally arrives in Chapter 30.
- Official Couple: With Seya (after some complications involving younger sister).
- Pet the Dog: Anytime she's nice to Shuuichi.
- Shipper on Deck: For Shuuichi and Anna.
- Teacher/Student Romance: In her first year of middle school she fell for an off-screen teacher; however, it matches the description of the teacher both Mako and Takatsuki seemed to like.
- Tsundere: Acts this way towards her boyfriend Seiya prior to dating. She also acts like this towards Shuuichi.
- Uncanny Family Resemblance: With Shuuichi. She even lampshades it, saying after the audition that they could've said that're twins.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Makoto gives Maho one of these, when witnessing her mistreatment of Shuuichi. Interestingly, having to deal with an assertive and self-confident girl so different from her sister, Maho cannot really tell her off.

Yuki Yoshida
Voiced by: Takako Honda
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Brown eyes to red eyes.

Her unresolved arc revolves around her juggling her want to transition with her adult life.
