👫👫Main Characters👫👫

Risa Koizumi

-Standing 172 centimetres, Risa stands taller than the average height of Japanese boys let alone Japanese girls (the average height for a female is 158 cm. In the anime she states that she has always been the tallest person in her class

-Ironically, her surname means 'small fountain'. She and other characters compare her to a giraffe. Risa can be impulsive and strong-willed at times, and is rarely willing to display her softer side

-She had a crush on Suzuki before he started dating another girl. Risa starts developing feelings for Ōtani and soon admits to herself that she likes him

-She then starts trying to confess. Failing the first time, Nobuko and Nakao try to help, with Nobuko often giving Risa advice on what to do

-Finally she very directly tells him. She immediately regrets it, and tells Ōtani to pretend it never happened, but in spite of herself she tells Ōtani once again that she likes him.

-Ōtani responds that he cannot see her as a girlfriend yet, so her new goal is to make Ōtani regret that and make him like her as well

Atsushi Ōtani

-He is very short for a boy, standing 156 centimetres. The average height for a male in Japan is 172 cm

-Like Koizumi, Ōtani's surname (roughly, "big valley") is a pun on his diminutive stature. He can be thoughtless and rude but he is kind and a little silly at heart
