| Character | Description | | :--- | :--- | | | The male protagonist. A virgin high school boy who is shy and inexperienced but carries intense sexual fantasies. His neighbor becomes the object of his obsession. | | Hitomi Rinmuro | The female lead. A married housewife who is warm and seemingly innocent on the surface, yet willing to engage in a sexual arrangement with the boy next door. | | Saki (voice) | Supporting character. Appears in later episodes as part of Nanashi's expanded social circle. |
