Aiba Hina

Takayama Iota

Iota is in the same grade as Hina and doesn't stand out. However he accidentally learns of Hina's "Otaku" side and gets targeted by her because of it. His hobby is working at Akihabara.

Hamara Utano

A rich girl who has been a rival with Hina since middle school. She challenges Hina at whatever she can but always ends up loosing. She's trying to regain her title(?) as school queen and sets her target on Hina.

Nanami: Who cares // Why is it you're only able to look at it from *that* point of view?

p10

Hina: Isn't it obvious!! It's cause I'm a girl!!

Nanami: Oh, really. Good luck with that

Hina: It's cause people like to treat us dumb like that, that I'm giving up being an Otaku!! // You remember this, you racist scum! // We're through!!

Hina: Ehh-- Well he doesn't have anything going for him // Nothing that I can match him up to, I guess...?

Nanami: Girl, I'd work on fixing that part about you before you worry about your Otaku problem.

Nanami: I don't care if anyone sees me

Hina: How rude!! Are you saying that it's embarrassing to be an Otaku?! // I've stood bye and listened to you since yesterday, But insulting me that I see even　innocent characters as homos! // and calling me a Fujoshi! // AND saying that a Fujoshi is unworthy of being called a human!!!
