ANIME+MANGA
Kirari Tsukishima (月島きらり Tsukishima Kirari)
Kirari is a cute and gluttonous 14-year-old girl who strives to be an idol. In the beginning she only wanted to be an idol so she can get closer to Seiji, but comes to like show business. She is clumsy, dense, overly trusting of others, and lacks common sense. Despite her shortcomings and lack of talents, she manages to persevere because of the help she receives from her friends and her unwavering resilience. She has a unique characteristic of turning all artistic designs into mushroom shapes.[4] Over the course of the show she not only becomes an idol, but also performs a series of odd jobs to promote her company (or in some cases to accidents). Throughout the series, she is caught in a love triangle with Hiroto and Seiji. In the beginning, she liked Seiji and thought of him to be her prince. She tries to do what she can to impress him and make him fall in love with her. However, as time passes and she spends time with Hiroto, she begins to fall in love with him. In episode 133, he confesses to her and she returns his feelings, and they become a couple. In the second to last chapter of the manga, she confesses her love to him, and he returns her feelings. At the end of the manga, they have been dating for one year; in the anime, they have been dating for a few months.
Hiroto Kazama (風真 宙人 Kazama Hiroto)
A member of SHIPS. He is 15-years-old when the series begins. In contrast to Seiji, who is kind and gentle, Hiroto is brutally honest and strict. He is also sometimes acerbic with Kirari, but he is usually the one who ends up helping her in sticky situations. He has a hidden soft side that he begins to show more to Kirari. He later falls in love with Kirari, but hides his feelings and supports Kirari being with Seiji. Despite this, he gets jealous when he sees Kirari with another guy (especially Cloudy) and often tries to win her attention. He officially confesses to her in episode 133, and in the second last chapter of the manga. By the end of the anime, they have been dating for a few months; in the manga, they have been dating for a year. He is the oldest of five brothers, whom he takes care of when his parents are away.
Seiji Hiwatari (日渡 星司 Hiwatari Seiji)
A member of SHIPS, as well as Kirari's initial love interest. He is 15-years-old when the series begins. He is from a very rich family. His parents disagree with him being an idol. Throughout the beginning of the series, he seems oblivious to Kirari's feelings, but by episode 12 he begins to portray feelings of jealousy over Hiroto's and Kirari's friendly relationship. He knows that Kirari and Hiroto love each other and that his feelings towards Kirari are not as deep as Hiroto's feelings towards her. He is gentle and says very encouraging words to Kirari. Since he is as dense as her, he always has a calm and clueless expression. He has a deep love for Kami-sama and has a murderous look when something is spilled onto it. When he is wandering around in the city, he disguises himself as an otaku.
Na-san (なーさん Na-san)
Kirari's cat. He is an outstanding cat that can sew, cook, and do other chores. Na-san has received recognition for his intelligence and singing abilities. As a mascot character to the heroine, he provides a lot of help to Kirari and protects her from danger. At the same time, it is also shown that he is a genius cat who excels in both English and Mathematics. His favorite food istaiyaki.
