Synopsis:
Azumi Risa, class representative of the Year 1 “Snow” class, was once again fighting with the class troublemaker, Ayase Miya today. The no-nonsense, assertive Risa, and the antisocial Miya couldn’t be more incompatible, with their arguments frequently bordering on shouting matches.At the time, the whole school was in high spirits in anticipation of Christmas.Amidst the flirtations of couples, established and spontaneous ones alike, excitement was brewing over the informal student poll to decide “St. Michael’s Best Couples.” Not having a girlfriend, Risa didn’t think the matter concerned her… Until she and Miya were chosen as a pair!
Naturally, Risa denied having any sort of romantic relationship, but the classmates who endorsed them simply smiled gently with the reasoning of refined girls brought up in respectable families, saying, “You always appear to be having such fun. "Although the two agree to go along with it for appearance’s sake, it turns out they’ll also be stuck on an committee with four other couples, planning events for the upcoming holidays of Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
What’s more… those four other couples are:
Matsubara Yuuna, chairman of the Campus Improvement Committee, which effectively serves as the student council, and her junior, Oda Nanami.
The popular student model, Kitajima Sara, and her cousin, Kitajima Kaede.
The singing sensation of the school’s culture festival, Kawamura Reo, and her girlfriend, Sawaguchi Mai.
And finally, the transfer student with her own "Lily Platinum” fan club, Shitogi Eris, and the school’s highly regarded foremost scribe, Kirishima Shizuku…
Nothing but the most prominent couples on campus.
Will they be able to make it through the upcoming events in the company of these prominent couples? And will Risa be able to survive spending the lovers’ holidays of Christmas and Valentine’s Day with Miya?
Cast:
Risa Azumi
Voiced by: Neko Kuroi
(Known roles: Kaho Nishihara from Koi to Koi Suru Utopia, Keisuke Takatou [Child] from euphoria [OVA], Nami Horikawa from Rance 03: Leazas Kanraku, etc.)
Class Representative of the Year 1 “Snow” class. She’s a hard worker with a no-nonsense personality, and her assertiveness tends to land her in leadership positions.
She’s the half-Japanese daughter of a foreign company with a British mother. She dresses in subdued clothing, but has the build of a model. She’s also big-chested.
She does well academically and has good common sense, but whenever she gets into it with Miya, she always gets out-argued and loses her cool.
It just so happens that matters of love embarrass her more easily than most, and when the subject comes up, she gets flustered with an adorable expression on her face, and ends up putting her foot in her mouth.
Miya Ayase
Voiced by: Nerine Akimoto
(Known roles: Kozue from Konohana Kitan, Rachnera from Monster Musume, Yuri Hisaka from Bokuten - Why I Became an Angel, etc.)
A student of the Year 1 “Snow” class, and a classmate of Risa’s. She’s the foremost genius on campus, but has difficulty in social situations, keeping her interactions with everyone but Risa to a safe minimum.
Her words with Risa are always abrasive. In that same vein, she keeps everyone else at a distance with her speech and behavior.
As a genius, she’s studied abroad and has been offered the chance to skip grades, but interacting with others is a pain for her, so she enrolled in the St. Michael’s school for refined young girls, which seemed easier to manage.
She rarely shows weakness and never loses her composure. However, in her more sincere moments, she becomes timid and casts nervous glances from beneath her lashes. She’s actually very feminine, in contrast to how she usually talks.
Nanami Oda
Voiced by: Konoko Takanashi
(Known roles: Coco Reeve from Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon, Kozue Orihara from Chaos;Head, Monika from Granblue Fantasy, etc.)
A freshman student. Lighthearted and energetic, with an outgoing disposition. She’s currently romantically involved with Yuuna, an upperclassman.
She’s actually quite the daydreamer, and knows a thing or two about sex. Her head is always full of romantic thoughts for Yuuna.
She’s a girl so madly in love, that the more she discovers that Yuuna is nothing like her mental image, the harder she falls for her.
Yuuna Matsubara
Voiced by: Pochi Uchino
(Known roles: Katou Otome from Shiny Days, Lastier Olazabal from Arabians Doubt ~The Engagement on Desert~, Shingo Shigeno from Major, etc.)
A junior student. Chairman of the Campus Improvement Committee, a group that’s the functional equivalent of the student council.
She’s an intellectual beauty with a gentle disposition. Her athletic excellence makes her a true superwoman.
She’s something of an idol on campus to both the younger and older students alike, although she’s blind to this fact.
In truth, she’s the type of dedicated person who isn’t satisfied unless she puts all her heart and soul into something.
Kaede Kitajima
Voiced by: Nazuna Gogyou
(Known roles: Akira Nanase from White Album, Misaki Andou from Chrono Clock, Rasputin and Takeru Yamato from Eiyuu Senki, etc.)
A junior student. A talented girl who serves as class representative. She’s a typical class representative, with her glasses and braided hair.
Although meek and subdued by nature, she has a strong sense of duty. She actually has a very nice figure.
Since it came to light that she’s actually quite gorgeous without her glasses and braid, she’s currently somewhat of a celebrity.
She and her younger cousin Sara are an officially recognized couple on campus.
Sara Kitajima
Voiced by: Satsuki Bari
(Known roles: Azusa Suwaki and Haruna Usami from Ouran High School Host Club, Coco Bandicoot from the Crash Bandicoot series, Sakurako Himegami from the Full House Kiss series, etc.)
A freshman student. Kaede’s younger cousin. She’s a popular student model from her work in fashion magazines.
She has an incredibly bright and sociable personality. With looks and personality, she unwittingly charms everyone around her.
She’s what you might call an open book, and something of an airhead. Her affections toward Kaede don’t have an off switch, whether they’re in public or private.
It’s those overflowing expressions of love that make the other students jealous of their closeness.
Mai Sawaguchi
Voiced by: Ayaka Izumi
(Known roles: Kohaku from Let's Meow Meow!, Kurumi Imari from the Bible Black series, Rumi Takahata from Catgirl Alliance, etc.)
A junior student who’s been attending St. Michael’s since kindergarten. She comes from an ordinary two-income family.
She isn’t formally on any class committees, but perhaps due to her helpful, sisterly personality, others tend to rely on her.
Although a self-avowed “commoner,” she’s spent so much time at St. Michael’s, she’s gotten quite used to dealing with high-class young ladies.
She currently commutes to see Reo, who lives alone despite not having the slightest domestic ability.
Reo Kawamura
Voiced by: Hana Anzu
(Known roles: Ayumi Murai from the Bible Black series, Momo Sakura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable, Noah from Sorcery Jokers, etc.)
A junior student and classmate of Mai’s. She comes from corporate affluence, and is what you might call a sheltered girl.
Despite her childlike stature, long, fluffy hair, refined facial features, and doll-like appearance, she’s socially inept and has an intense shyness around strangers.
She remains detached from everyone except Mai, and is a hyper-tsundere who’s like a wild beast in some ways.
Both her parents are living overseas, so she lives alone in her apartment. She survives solely on Mai’s cooking.
Shizuku Kirishima
Voiced by: Miei
(Known roles: Cordelia from Fire Emblem: Awakening, Satoko Isaki from Shiki, Takamiya from Little Busters!, etc.)
A senior student. A Japanese beauty who grew up at St. Michael’s, having attended since kindergarten.
Her father is a calligrapher, and Shizuku herself is highly regarded as the foremost scribe of St. Michael’s. Her character is one of sincerity and excellence, but she’s exceedingly bad with foreign words.
She’s in a loving relationship with the exchange student Eris, who isn’t shy about speaking her mind no matter the place, and always seems to have Shizuku wrapped around her little finger.
While she could naturally never hate Eris, her troubles never seem to end.
Eris Shitogi
Voiced by: Mio Oukawa
(Known roles: Ellis from Agarest: Generations of War, Mouki Bahou from Koihime Musou, Yuka Kirimura from Kara no Shojo - The Second Episode, etc.)
A senior student. Shizuku’s classmate. An exchange student who transferred to St. Michael’s. She is half-Japanese and half of Nordic descent.
She proficient at Japanese, with a fearless spirit and generous heart, who cluelessly makes all the girls swoon.
Girls are endlessly captivated by her charm, but even with a fan club in her honor, she’s completely unaware.
When she speaks passionate words of love to Shizuku with complete disregard for whoever else may be listening, there are some days Shizuku goes tsundere on her.
Takako Suminoe
Voiced by: Yui Azuma
(Known roles: Cherche and Tharja from Fire Emblem: Awakening, Flameu from Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky, Mine from Amnesia: Memories, etc.)
A teacher at Saint Michael Girls’ School. Romantically involved with Runa, one of her students.
While the two live together, she tries to encourage more youthfully-appropriate behavior, but mostly ends up getting bossed around.
However, she doesn’t harbor any ill will about being under Runa’s thumb, and even admires the way she carries herself with such distinction.
Although she takes great pride in being a teacher and has a strong sense of responsibility, she has to desperately resist the urge to shout her relationship with Runa from the rooftops, which makes her a tad pathetic.
Runa Houraisen
Voiced by: Yuki Ueda
(Known roles: Hilda from Under Night In-Birth, Kokoro from Evolimit, Sakura Narumi from the Supipara series, etc.)
A transfer student to St. Michael’s and Takako’s lover. She speaks and carries herself like an adult, and has everyone around her wrapped around her little finger.
She doesn’t hesitate to say, “Sensei belongs to me.” This single-mindedness leads to a powerfully jealous possessiveness.
Essentially a sadist, one way or another, she’ll interpret things to her own advantage and then smile with a sadistic gracefulness.
However, kids will be kids. She won’t drink coffee because it’s too bitter, and loves sweets. She also gets sad when her Sensei scolds her.
Rena Houraisen
Voiced by: Kou Manazuru
(Known roles: Sherry from Elf-hime Nina [OVA], Yayoi Sasaki from Mahou Shoujo Isuka [OVA] etc.)
A new teacher at St. Michael’s. She’s Runa’s big sister and Takako’s former tutor. Stylish and dashingly beautiful, Rena is the perfect lady.
Her personality is free and easygoing. Although she’s blunt and undisciplined, she has the kind of likable personality that’s impossible to hate for some reason.
An alumna of St. Michael’s through junior college, the teachers of her time all revered her as “The Ultimate Lady.”
In truth, she was chasing skirts left and right, regardless of whether they were seniors or juniors. It’s rumored her lovers numbered in the triple digits.
