    Voiced by: Shintarō Asanuma (Japanese); Alejandro Saab (English)
    Junichi is a second-year high school boy who wishes to have a girlfriend. At the start of the series, he is set up by his friends to confess his love to Yukana Yame. While he is internally thrilled to see Yukana's sexy body, he is easily embarrassed when Yukana confronted him for such lewd actions. He regularly has sexual fantasies of losing his virginity and is depicted as having internal debates in his head over what to do in situations. His friends also pressure him to hook them up with girls. As he learns that Yukana does indeed like him, he tries to remain loyal to her, turning down the other girls that make advances on him.

    Yukana is a fashionable high school "gal" with strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, a busty chest, loose socks, and a carefree attitude. She was very guarded about lewd stuff, calling it gross, but agrees to be Junichi's girlfriend. She finds Junichi to be transparent with his emotions and reactions, and often calls Junichi out for being a lewd virgin who is interested in her body, but teases and flirts with him too. Underneath she is very caring, and seeks her friends' advice often on how to relate to Jun better, being a little naive sometimes on applying the advice. On occasion, she lowers her guard and lets him touch her if it helps affirm how committed she is to the relationship. She gets jealous of the other girls that flirt with Junichi, except for Nene, who she thinks her little sister behavior is too cute to be taken seriously. She later goes to the same university as Junichi.

She briefly tries the gal lifestyle to try to win Junichi over, and later tries to attack him by lying on top of him naked in bed, but Junichi rejects her. She then decides to openly compete with Yukana, going back to her bun hairstyle, but then she turns back to be a gal again. In the anime, Junichi's friends regard her as a "loli with big boobs".

She has known Jun since middle school and initially acts very friendly and nice around him. She secretly dresses up as a blonde-haired (red hair in the anime) twin-tailed idol named BoA who does live streams on the internet. She is upset that Junichi, whom she deems her number-one servant because he had helped carry boxes for her or picked up her eraser, does not fawn over her like an obedient pet because he is with Yukana. She tries to remedy that by pulling him aside and asking him to dump Yukana and go out with her. When Jun refuses, she gets very angry and threatens him until Ranko saves him by threatening to reveal her net identity. She becomes more attracted to Junichi beyond just wanting him to be her pet, and eventually confesses to Junichi and is rejected.

## Reception

The anime's first episode was reviewed by various writers at Anime News Network. James Beckett found that the fanservice to be as expected and that it embodied "all of the most irritating sex comedy stereotypes that stopped being funny back when the American Pie sequels fizzled out over a decade ago." Nick Creamer found the censorship bars to be the only unique thing about the show, and that the central characters were not likable. Theron Martin held out some hope that Yukana would at least have some character depth. Paul Jensen found the premise of two characters from different social circles to have potential, but the first episode to be obnoxious and dumb, outside of some moments where Yukana reacts to Junichi's confession. Rebecca Silverman regarded the episode as mostly fetishism and unless that was toned down and "starts to develop Yukana as a real person, it could be a somewhat smarty raunchy comedy," but did not plan to watch any more to find out.
