Synopsis [edit]

Hana Uzaki is thrilled to discover that she is attending the same college as her fellow high school upperclassman, Shinichi Sakurai. However, after a year of watching him just laze around, she comes to the conclusion that he has turned into a loner. She decides to spend as much time with Shinichi as possible, believing that he is an introvert or intimidating, which is uncool and unacceptable. Beginning her project to have Shinichi experience a fun lifestyle, Hana stalks him like an annoying pest. Will Shinichi ever make her understand that he prefers doing things by himself, or will he be won over by Hana's zany charm?

Characters [edit]

Hana Uzaki (宇崎 花, Uzaki Hana)
Voiced by: Naomi Ōzora[3] (Japanese); Monica Rial[4] (English)
A second year college student who attends the same college as Shinichi. Despite her curvaceous figure, Hana is sometimes mistaken as an elementary school student due to her short height. A cheerful and outgoing person, she is frustrated that Shinichi spent his college days mostly alone during her first year at college. As such, she decides to help him get out of his loner lifestyle by accompanying him wherever he goes, much to Shinichi's annoyance and embarrassment. As the time passes, Hana starts to develop feelings for Shinichi, but she refuses to acknowledge this.
Shinichi Sakurai (桜井 真一, Sakurai Shin'ichi)
Voiced by: Kenji Akabane[3] (Japanese); Ricco Fajardo[4] (English)
A third year college student who is Hana's upperclassman. The two of them first met when they were members of the swimming club during high school. Most of the girls in the college are afraid to approach him due to his scary looks. Shinichi is often annoyed by Hana's antics, especially those that come at his expense, but tolerates them as long as she is having fun during her college life. He works part time at a café near their college and is popular among the customers because of his athletic physique and work ethic.
Ami Asai (亜細 亜実, Asai Ami)
Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu[3] (Japanese); Jad Saxton[5] (English)
A fourth year college student who attends the same college as Shinichi and Hana. She also works at her father's café. Like her father, she watches Shinichi and Hana from afar to see if their relationship will progress even further. She also has a muscle fetish towards Shinichi since the first day he worked at the café.
Itsuhito Sakaki (榊 逸仁, Sakaki Itsuhito)
Voiced by: Tomoya Takagi[3] (Japanese); Nazeeh Tarsha[6] (English)
Shinichi's friend at the college he attends. He is good at sports and popular among girls at the college. When he finds out that Shinichi and Hana often hang out together, Sakaki joins forces with Ami so that he can help the two advance their relationship to the next level.
The Master (マスター, Masutā)
Voiced by: Yōsuke Akimoto[7] (Japanese); Kent Williams (English)
Shinichi's boss at the café he works at, his real name is Akihiko Asai. He is also Ami's father. Knowing that Hana often visits Shinichi whenever he works at the café, he decides to watch both of them from afar with his daughter, wondering if their relationship will advance to the next level.
Tsuki Uzaki (宇崎 月, Uzaki Tsuki)
Voiced by: Saori Hayami[7] (Japanese); Terri Doty[8] (English)
Tsuki is Hana's mother. She considers Shinichi's look to be scary from the day she met him and is often mistaken that Shinichi has taking an interest in her since the day he visited the house, not knowing that he only wanted to pet Hana's cats.
