During her second year of high school, she enrolls in an all-girls school hoping to find a female romantic partner. However, her ideal candidate, Mariya Shidō, turns out to be a sadistic cross-dressing boy. <div style="text-align: center;">Characters Kanako Miyamae (宮前 かなこ) Voiced by <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/people/126/Asami_Sanada"> Asami Sanada</a> <img src="http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/3/41623.jpg" border="0" /> Kanako is the protagonist of the story. She is a second year high school transfer student to Ame no Kisaki, a Catholic based all girls academy. Kanako has an inherent fear of men which began in elementary school when a piece of her recorder and P.E. uniform were stolen. When coming into physical contact with any man, she instantaneously breaks out in hives. This has significantly contributed to her fear of boys. Kanako is almost solely interested in girls in regards to her ideal romantic relationships. She instantly and constantly suffers from nosebleeds—-a visible indication of sexual perverseness frequently used in anime and manga. Her reason for transferring to Ame no Kisaki is to look for her one true love. Kanako begins her reflections on her situation with the phrase "Dear mother in heaven." Kanako is also quite tall (standing at 173 cm and growing). Mariya Shidō (祇堂 鞠也) Voiced by: <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/people/34/Yuu_Kobayashi"> Yū Kobayashi</a> <img src="http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/7/80601.jpg" border="0" /> Mariya is a cross-dressing boy who attends Ame no Kisaki as a girl as a means to win the chairmanship of both the all-male and all-female schools where his late grandmother served as the ex-chairman for both. He deeply respects and loves his grandmother and does not care about actually winning chairmanship. He simply wishes to honor his grandmother's request. He appears to genuinely care about others though this facade is often hidden through some excuse he has crafted for himself. When Kanako first meets Mariya, she is instantly attracted to his playful femininity and kind attitude. However, Mariya turns out to be quite sadistic in nature and generally adjusts his personality to reflect whatever situation he is in. Mariya is quite short, reaching at most up to the height at the tip of Kanako's nose (about 157 cm), and shorter than Matsurika. Matsurika Shinōji (汐王寺 茉莉花) Voiced by: <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/people/158/Marina_Inoue">Marina Inoue</a> <img src="http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/2/42568.jpg" border="0" /> Matsurika is Mariya's maid. She is generally silent but is usually quite rude when she chooses to speak. She delivers the vast majority of her lines with almost no facial expressions. The majority of her insults are directed at Kanako and Mariya. She refers to Kanako by such names as "Ms. Pig," "Eiffel Tower" and "Tokyo Tower" due to Kanako's tall stature. When speaking to Mariya, Matsurika often delivers sharp remarks in regards to his cross-dressing tendencies. Matsurika also attends classes with Mariya. Dorm Leader (寮長先生 Ryōchō-sensei) Voiced by:<!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/people/99/Miyuki_Sawashiro"> Miyuki Sawashiro</a> <img src="http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/4/80606.jpg" border="0" /> An unusual young girl with cat ears who looks after Dorm No. 2 which Kanako is assigned to. She is addressed as "Miss Dorm Leader" by all the students. When Kanako met her, and tried to make small talk and ask casual questions Dorm Leader looped back to the first question to say that she might also be addressed as 'Boss' or 'God'. Kanako took this as a hint to ask no more questions. The students do not dare disobey her for fear of vague, yet frightening threats. She has a pet dog, Yonakuni, who helps her take care of the place. Her rule of the dorm extends to manhandling Father Kanae after repeatedly demanding bribes so that he can see Kanako. She has an idiosyncratic speech pattern which makes her speak in a rather languid fashion and insert wherever grammatically possible the phrase 'desu yo'. <!--center--></div>
