 Shinobu
The main character, Shinobu is a shy, quiet girl who was entranced by Toyota-kun's smile when he gave her a ticket at the previous year's school festival. She keeps the ticket, and when she is in the same class as Toyota-kun, and even ends up sitting next to him, she realizes that this is her chance.  Toyota-kun
An easygoing class clown, Toyota-kun has lots of friends but is not stuck-up at all. He's not a very strong student however. He becomes friends easily with Shinobu, and even knew her name before she told him...  Hinata-chan
Shinobu's best friend, and the one who probably arranges for her to sit next to Toyota-kun. Hinata-chan seems much stronger and straightforward than Shinobu, but she is considerate of Shinobu and will always listen to her rave about Toyota-kun.^_^ We learn more about her in Ooima-sensei's Ribon debut, Gokigen Jouou Summer. |
