## Description
"You know, cosplay is really good!" When Haruka, Yuuto, and Shina are at a cafe, they meet Rio, Shina's old friend and Rio invites them to take part in a cosplay event. "Well, I'll take part in it." "It should be fun!" "How about you, Haruka?" Haruka seems to hesitate to answer. At that moment, Yuuto notices that she stares at a pamphlet of the event...

## Characters
### Ayase Yuuto (綾瀬 裕人)
Yuuto is the main protagonist of the story. He is an ordinary student who attends the private high school Hakujou Academy and is in his second year of high school. One day, he stumbles across his classmate [url=/c10808]Haruka[/url] in the library and discovers her hidden secret—she is a major otaku and loves anime and manga. Following this revelation, Yuuto starts to hang out with Haruka which brings up the envy and jealousy of many of his fellow classmates. Yuuto lives with his parents and older sister Ruko, though his parents are always working and thus are generally absent from home. He behaves bluntly and generally likes to be left alone. He has an average determination to study for school. Even though he and Haruka are so close, he sometimes believes since he is not wealthy he cannot officially be her boyfriend, but this always changes knowing her family loves him (even Haruka's father.)

She transfers into [url=/c10817]Yuuto[/url]'s class at school. Her hobbies include playing the piano and the martial art of naginatajutsu. She always has a positive, cheerful and sociable personality. This makes her transition as a transfer student very easy. She used to live in Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan, though does not speak much of those days. She shows an interest for Yuuto as she believes there might be a reason they constantly bump into each other. She said one of the reason she chose Yuuto's school to transfer to is because of a famous teacher who graduated from the school and is known as the Performer of the Sunset is teaching at the school.

### Nogizaka Haruka (乃木坂 春香)
Haruka is the main female character of the story, and is [url=/c10817]Yuuto[/url]'s classmate. Due to her beauty and intelligence, She is idolized at school and regarded as the school's most unattainable girl, even known by the French nicknames Nuit Étoile (The Night Star) and Lumière du Clavier (The Piano's Light). She is very skilled at playing the piano and has taken overall victories in international contests. She also has a gentle personality, is a natural airhead, and is quite clumsy. Her deep hidden secret is that she is a major otaku and loves anime and manga. In middle school, her secret was exposed and she received a certain amount of prejudice towards it which caused her to keep it a secret once she entered high school. When Yuuto finds out about it, Haruka is relieved that he does not tell anyone or harass her about it and over the course of the series, develops romantic feelings for him. She also comes from a rich family and privileged upbringing, so her interest in the otaku subculture is looked down upon due to her status in society, which is another reason why she keeps it a secret. Haruka once fled to a park after being scolded by her father, several years before. It was here that her anime obsession started when Yuuto gave her the first issue of Innocent Smile. While being very talented, she cannot draw well, but does not realize it because she is too proud of it for anyone to tell her directly.

### Nogizaka Mika (乃木坂 美夏)

Her hobbies include playing the violin, playing squash, caring for wild pigs, and spying on her sister and [url=/c10817]Yuuto[/url]. She has a personality that is the exact opposite of her sister's, who is naïve. She enjoys Yuuto's company and she often calls him "Onii-san" (an affectionate word meaning brother, brother-in-law, or a brother-like male figure). When Haruka is with Yuuto, however, Mika likes to tease them. In contrast to her airhead older sister, Mika is very stable. Even at her young age, she is more knowledgeable about sex than Haruka, although she will get shocked or stunned mentally if exposed to H-rated material just like her sister. She shows some interest in Yuuto after their date. She is deathly afraid of ghosts. She has been running for the student council president of her all girl school for two consecutive years. She is just as much as an idol as her sister at school and is known by the name Moonlight Strawberry.

Alistia, otherwise known as Alice, is the eight-highest ranking maid of the Nogizaka family, and is in charge of VIP security and sabotage. She looks like a grade school student, and is a blond Caucasian (most likely German, since she once utters "Bruder", which conveys the same meaning as [url=/c10809]Mika[/url]'s "Onii-san", when addressing [url=/c10817]Yuuto[/url]). She rarely speaks (being not yet skilled in Japanese), and normally converses with others via an array of nods and head-shakes to express her meanings (while uttering "koku"). However, in the second series, she is revealed to have superb fighting skills with the attitude of a programmed hell-bent killer, as she was revealed by [url=/c10811]Hazuki[/url] to be the one in charge of VIP security and sabotage. She has a baseball bat studded with spikes, as well as spiked knuckles, as weapons.
