Character:

Kaito Kirishima

The main protagonist is a student in his first year of high school. He is an avid videographer and constantly out recording on an 8mm handheld camera that he inherited. Others sometimes refer to him as "The Director". He is seemingly aware of Tanigawa's feelings for him, nonetheless he develops a crush on Ichika. He has day dreams of conversing with Ichika and talks out loud sometimes during them.

Ichika Takatsuki

The main female protagonist is an alien come to Earth who acts to save Kaito from the injuries he sustains when her ship crash-lands. Being an alien unaccustomed to life on Earth, her actions may seem weird in the eyes of others, but she is quick to correct herself, if only to hide the fact that she is an alien. She is kind, polite, friendly and an ok cook. Like her "best friend" Remon Yamano, she is a third-year student in Kaito's high school.

Kanna Tanigawa

A close friend of Kaito, whom she has a crush on. Kaito's sister is aware of this and encourages a relationship between the two.

Tetsurō Ishigaki

A close friend of Kaito and Tanigawa. Although he has feelings for Kanna, he knows of her feelings for Kaito and encourages a relationship between the two. He seems to be an all-around savvy guy with females and is easily able to smooth-talk a female teacher into giving out Ichika's body measurements.

Mio Kitahara

A good friend of Tanigawa. She has feelings for Tetsurō and her thoughts seem to innocently go in a sexual direction sometimes; she usually walks completely nude in her room.

Remon Yamano

A third-year high school student with a petite appearance and a distinctive voice. She is generally cold towards people, but befriends Ichika when they first meet. She is good at picking locks and can be quite mischievous, such as when she makes the rest of the group drink an alcoholic drink, then records them sleeping. She seems devious, as though everything she does has an ulterior motive. Since she claims to have written a script for Lucas in Hollywood, she ends up being the writer for the group's film.

Nanami Kirishima

Kaito's big sister. She takes care of Kaito in their parent's absence and is concerned about him living alone when she goes away on business.
