Synopsis
With nothing left to lose, ordinary high school student Haruka Shinozaki confesses to beautiful, diligent class representative Akiho Kosaka and to his surprise she accepts.

Characters

 * Haruka is a shy and gentle boy who is a second-year in high school. He is quite popular with the girls in his neighborhood, but remains unaware of, or is simply not interested in, their romantic inclinations towards him. He has sexual fantasies, but is too shy to express them.

 * Akiho Kosaka (香坂 秋穂)
 * Akiho is a beautiful, aloof-looking high school second-year model student and popular girl in her class, and Haruka's love interest. However, she has absolutely no experience with intimate relationships and thus tends to overanalyze this topic in her nervousness. She has the habit of approaching sexual topics in a straightforward manner, a trait which was ingrained into her by her mother at an early age, hence the name.

 * Shizuku Ariyama (有山 雫)
 * Shizuku is a lively third-year high school student and childhood friend of Haruka, who merely sees her as an older sister and thus addresses her as such. However, she has recently become romantically interested in Haruka as well and makes several playful and obvious allusions towards him, even though she is too shy to take the initiative when things have a chance to get serious.

 * Rina Saijō (西城 梨奈)
 * Rina is a charismatic girl from a wealthy family who transferred to Haruka's school in search of a boyfriend. Like Akiho, she is very liberal in talking about sex-related matters, but since she previously attended an all-girl school and could only find romance with other girls, her experience in romancing males is practically non-existent. She owns two dogs, Butter and Margarine, whom she regards like human beings.

 * Kanata Shinozaki (篠崎 奏多)
 * Kanata is Haruka's younger sister by one year, who adopts a cat-like behavior pattern and is seldom seen without her cat-ear hoodie jacket. She is very infatuated with her older brother and considers herself the only girl cute enough to be his girlfriend. One of her favorite interactions with him is to have him pet her on the head.

Reception
In a review of the anime for NEO, Alex Jones believed the developing relationship between Haruka and Akiho to be what made the premise work. However, he felt the jokes got more low-brow and generic with the more characters the series added, and ultimately felt that the miscommunication between the lead couple wasn't enough to carry the whole show.
