Plot
[edit]Sixteen-year-old Keisuke Saji loves to fantasize about young beautiful women. He hopes to land the object of his affection, Akira Koizumi.

Characters
[edit]- Keisuke Saji (

- Saji is a 16-year-old high school student with spiky hair who loves everything about women.
- Akira Koizumi (
小泉 明 , Koizumi Akira) - Voiced by: Kae Araki[3]
- Koizumi is a young girl with blue hair and red eyes. Her looks and figure has the guys in school turning their heads, including Saji. However, Koizumi expresses her rejections from the proposals of the boys by physically assaulting them. Out of all the guys she meets, Saji is her favorite target to take her frustrations out on.
- Yuki Umemiya (
梅宮 悠 樹 , Umemiya Yuki) - Voiced by: Miho Yamada[3]
- Yuki is Saji's busty childhood friend and somewhat an unintentional rival to Koizumi. Yuki has grown well-proportioned and shapely. However, her charm and body, while still able to make guys drool, are not as effective as Koizumi grace and mystery. Despite her appearance, she has very low self-esteem.
- Ryoko Arigase (

- Noboru Hitachi (
