Characters

[edit]
Iroe "Nee-san" Genma (源間色絵, Genma Iroe)
Voiced by: Mari Kano[2]
Iroe is the head of the Model Club, nicknamed "Nee-san" (姉さん, "big sister"). Despite her short stature, her underclassmen (and some adults) call her by this nickname. In contrast, her classmates call her "Chibiko" (チビ子). She is generally vulgar, outrageous and is a big troublemaker. She likes being the center of attention and making fun of her fellow club members. A model of a castle stands on her head before she loses interest in models.
Hazuki "Okappa" Okamoto (岡本葉月, Okamoto Hazuki)
Voiced by: Yumi Uchiyama
An underclassman of Nee-san, Hazuki is one of the members of the Model Club, nicknamed "Okappa" (オカッパ, "bob cut"). She is a classmate of Makimaki and sits next to her in class. She is generally levelheaded and calm but is prone to getting violent and monstrous when it comes to Nee-san's antics. She is shown to have a gentle and caring side, later attributed to sporadic "Okappa Days". She is weak against insects, especially large cockroaches. She has a model of a train on her head before she loses interest in models.
Makina "Makimaki" Sakamazaki (坂崎真喜奈, Sakamazaki Makina)
Voiced by: Marina Inoue
An underclassman of Nee-san, Makina is one of the members of the Model Club, nicknamed "Makimaki" (マキマキ). She is a classmate of Okappa and sits next to her in class. She is the most rational member of the Model Club and plays the role of the straight man to Nee-san and Okappa. She was overweight throughout elementary school before rapidly losing weight in middle school. A model of a tank sits on her head before she loses interest in models.
Kuniki (国木)
Voiced by: Kishō Taniyama
A high school senior, Kuniki is the muscular captain of the baseball team. He wears women's underwear and often exposes himself in public. Because of this, he is well-known even in other schools.
Mizuno (ミズノ)
Voiced by: Masayo Kurata
A 33-year-old teacher, Mizuno teaches Health education. Despite her age and status, she still calls Iroe "Nee-san." She is also the best friend of fellow teacher Masuda whom she affectionately refers to as "Masuda-chan." She has bitter memories of her ex-boyfriend breaking up with her because of a hairy back.
Azuma (東)
Voiced by: Kenji Akabane
A high school freshman, Azuma is often seen with his partner, Student Council Member A. The pair were once cornered by a pair of delinquents but were "saved" by Kuniki. Because of that encounter, they are now scared of him. It is also revealed he lives alone and subsists largely on junk foods such as sweet buns.
Sanada (サナダ)

Uno (ウノ)
Voiced by: Shiori Izawa
She is the twin sister of Sano. Nee-san usually hangs out with them if she's not with the Model Club. Like Nee-san, she has a short stature and a flat chest.
