Characters
  • Risa[3] is the main female protagonist who has no experience in love. Once when her best friend, Yuko, tells Risa about her boyfriend and herself (and about how she saw her boyfriend sparkle and she knew he was her 'first' love), Risa starts to get interested in love and wants to experience and know about it. She then meets Yūgure and falls in love with him at first sight. When she confesses to him, he returns her feelings and they start going out with each other. Risa really cares for the others and is the only child in her family.
  • Yūgure[3] is the most popular boy in his grade. He is usually seen playing football with his friends, which is hinted to be his favorite sport. He seems to be nice to everyone and has no experience in love. When Yūgure first saw Risa, he stated that she is "cute" and then they started dating.
  • Yuko[3] is Risa's best friend who has been together since elementary school. Yuko cares a lot for Risa and supports her romantic life.
