Age: 15-16 Blood type: AB Birthdate: 16th September Zodiac: Virgo A girl who appears friendly and sweet to everyone around her, she has had a huge crush on Kazehaya since their first year of middle school. She dislikes her given name, Ume, because it sounds old-fashioned and prefers to be called her nickname, "Kurumi." She is extremely jealous of Sawako, which led her to spread fake rumors of Sawako's only friends at the time, Yoshida and Yano, using Sawako's name. Kurumi does not attend the same class as Sawako or Kazehaya. She eventually confesses her love to Kazehaya, but receives an expected rejection. Because she is always surprised with Sawako's naiveté, Kurumi is able to become friends with her, as well as a rival for Kazehaya's affection. Following Kazehaya's rejection, she becomes colder to her classmates, but is able to finally express her true feelings and personality. (Source: Wikipedia)
Age: 17 Birthday: May 15 Height: 175 cm (5'9") Weight: 60 kg (132 lbs.) Blood type: O Motto: Believe and pursue the truth. Kazehaya is Sawako's outgoing and friendly classmate, and is Sawako's sweet and friendly friend. He is so popular that during middle school, so many girls liked him that they formed a "Kazehaya is Everyone's" Alliance in order to maintain some level of peace among his admirers and more than half of these girls now attend the same high school. Kazehaya has held a long standing interest in Sawako and admits (though not to Sawako) that he likes her (he gets jealous easily), unaware that she feels the same for him. During their second year of high school, he begins to wonder if she actually likes him after she does not give him chocolates on Valentine's Day, not knowing that she had been too nervous to give him any. He seemingly becomes depressed and shows an expressionless face often. However, after being confronted by Ryuu (influenced by Chizuru) and Pin, Kazehaya goes to Sawako as his friends jokingly remark that he likes Sawako; however, Kazehaya takes the remark seriously and agrees, subsequently confessing directly to Sawako. However, after Sawako's misunderstanding of his confession, he believes she rejected him. However, as of chapter 41 was finally able to confess his feelings to Sawako and are officially dating.
Age: 15-17 Birthday: December 31 Height: 158 cm Weight: 44 kg Blood type: O Motto: One good deed per day. Sawako is a shy yet honest girl who is in search of friendship, but her resemblance to horror film character Sadako, Sawako's modesty, and her tendency to shy away from correcting people of misconceptions prevent her from doing so to the point most of the school believed her name was in fact Sadako. Thanks to Kazehaya's kind and open nature, she is able to gradually open up to her classmates, and talk to different people. With help from Kazehaya, Yano, and Yoshida she gradually begins to make friends. She is grateful (and at first, worships) Kazehaya for giving her the opportunities to make close friends, which came to include Yano, Yoshida, Kazehaya, and Ryu. Yano and Yoshida admit that Sawako's "like" towards Kazehaya might be even more than Yano and Yoshida themselves. She is rather short, in part because her father is as well and is surprisingly fast, which is revealed during a soccer match at the school's sports festival. During Yano and Yoshida's first visit to Sawako's house, Yoshida notes that Sawako's lips and figure looks like her mother's and most of Sawako's other features resemble her father's. A running gag is that she seems to take what people say seriously as well as over-analyze a situation, which tends to scare the people around her when she is deep in thought. When Kazehaya practically confessed right in front of her that he likes her, she believes it was a misunderstanding and that he was just saying he doesn't hate her. However, after having everything cleared up they officially start dating, though this only brings up rumours that she somehow used black magic to get him.

Like her name, she is the thirteenth daughter or princess of the Ran clan. She is the half-sister of Shuuei, Ryuuren, and the Ran triplets, but she has the closest relationship with Shuuei. She was sent to the palace to become Ryuuki's consort by the triplets (with the choice to either become a consort or marry Seiran), and she soon became a target of assassination by a mysterious group. The head assassin was none other tha Jin Shiba, her first love, who was a death-row prisoner. After Shusui's departure, Jyuusan-hime replaced her position as head lady-in-waiting and later on challenged Shuurei in a contest of making steamed buns. She has all the skills of both being a princess and a fighter, being raised by the Shiba family, a famous retainer clan of the Ran clan who specialized in combat. By looks, she resembles Shūrei so much that Shūrei was once given the task to impersonate her. She is the most likely candidate to be Ryuuki's concubine, should Shuurei continue to show disinterest in the time period that was given
Seiga Riku is the undersecretary of Censorate, known as the "Official Killer" for his ruthless persecution of officials. He first appears during Shuurei and Suou's investigation of counterfeit currency and artwork, posing as an official looking for a position in order to join Shuurei and Suou's investigation. In truth, he was actually sent to monitor and report on Shūrei's actions. Seiga is an ambitious and cynical man who does not think highly of Shuurei, particularly because of her idealistic outlook towards working for the government, and he often harasses her. A promising and confident official, he is known for his willingness to sacrifice others to achieve his goals, much to Shuurei's displeasure. However, Shuurei looks to him as a senior during her time as a censorate official and regards him as a rival in hopes of winning his approval through her own efforts, a relationship that Seiga reluctantly reciprocates. Seiga is later responsible for dealing with accusations that lead to Reishin and Kouyuu losing their positions in the Department of Civil Administration. (Source: Wikipedia)
