The focus of the series follows Ryuuji Takasu and Aisaka Taiga and their pursuit of their love interests. Ryuuji is a second year student entering high school and possesses a nasty social stigma. His is a kind and gentle person but because of the constant scowl on his face his classmates label him as a delinquent. He is in love with his classmate Minori Kushieda, who is also Taiga Aisaka's best friend. Taiga possesses a similar social stigma because of her naturally small body type and short temper. Her temperament earned her the nickname Te Nori Taiga, or Palmtop Tiger. She is in love with Ryuuji's best friend Yuusaku Kitamura, who confessed his feelings for her previously but she rejected him.

Ryuuji quickly becomes the object of Aisaka's contempt when he bumps into her at school. She learns he is in love with her best friend Minori and uses it to her advantage. Taiga suffers from numerous family problems and as a result lives by herself in an apartment right next to Ryuuji . She is incapable of common household chores so she uses the very capable Takasu to take care of the domestic duties in her apartment. In return, she promises to help Ryuuji get closer to Minori. Takasu promises in exchange for Taiga's help he will help her get close to Kitamura. The duo constantly work together to reach each other's goals but develop feelings for each other in the process.

Minori
Kushieda is an outgoing upbeat high school girl and Aisaka Taiga's best friend. She is athletic, captain of the school's softball team, and has many part time jobs. She often speaks in with incoherent dialog about nonsensical things so it gives her the superficial personality as an airhead. The truth is she is much more perspective than she lets on and is hinted multiple times she is fully aware of her situation. She has feelings for Ryuuji but doesn't act on them because she knows Taiga, her best friend, loves him as well.

Yuusaku Kitamura

Ryuuji's best friend and vice president of the student council. Similar to his friends, Kitamura also has a bizarre personality. He is in love with the student council president, Sumire Kano, who loves him as well. He follows her to America as she pursues her dreams to become an astronaut.

Ami Kawashima

Kawashima

She is a childhood friend to Kitamura but the relationship ends there. She attends the same high school as the rest of the characters as a hiatus from her modeling career. She puts on a sweet girl facade when she around others but in reality she is quite arrogant and doesn't think much of others. When Ami gets flustered or frusterated she retreats to her hiding spot near the high school vending machines. She gets along with Ryuuji and Kitamura but not so well with Taiga or Minori. Ami Kawashima acts as an omnipresent character because she seems fully aware of everyone's sitations and feelings.
