Characters

Momoko Futo (富戸もも子, Futo Momoko): Voiced by: Rika Tachibana; Momoko is basically the leader in the trio of girls. She is voluptuous, carefree and adventurous, but sometimes she can also be a klutz; she would often be the one who gets upskirted without even her being aware of it. Her name in Japanese order is a play on words that can be translated to “girl with thick thighs”.
Shibumi Shibusawa (渋沢しぶ美, Shibusawa Shibumi): Voiced by: Tomomi Mineuchi; Shibumi is the only one who wears glasses and sports a zettai ryoki; she is also a top student in her class. She is basically uptight and reserved in class, but when she is with her friends Momoko and Mayumi, she can let her hair down.
Mayumi Furui (古井まゆみ, Furui Mayumi): Voiced by: Yurika Kubo; Mayumi is a transfer student, which explains why her uniform is different from her classmates. She is friends with Momoko and Shibumi. Among the trio, she is the petite one, but she is also very caring — she would tell her friends if something is wrong.
