  • Moritaka Mashiro: Mashiro is a medium sized and relatively skinny character. He has blue hair, with a cowlick at the top of his head. He also has blue eyes. The shade of blue used for his hair changes from light blue to dark blue with light blue reflections. Mashiro is brave and determined, but can be nervous at times.

Akito is usually quite a happy and enthusiastic person, especially when it comes to manga. He gets along well with most people and is usually the one who does most of the talking for himself and Moritaka. He is very loyal and protective of his friends and he shows this when he punches someone who is insulting Moritaka and his art. Also, he deeply loves his girlfriend/wife Miyoshi Kaya but possibly has trouble showing it. That, or he just likes to tease her.
  • Miho Azuki: iho Azuki has dark hair that falls past her shoulders with bangs. Although her outer image is shy, she is a very mysterious girl. It is sometimes hard to know what she is thinking about.
