=== Main Characters ===
* Rintarō Akematsu (赤松 リンタロ, Akematsu Rintarō) - A 15-year-old high school student who seems to blend into the background, with an unremarkable appearance and a lack of standout qualities. He struggles with serious social problems, finding it difficult to connect with his peers and often feeling like an outsider in social situations. Despite his efforts to fit in, he remains largely unnoticed, spending most of his time alone since his parents are often away. Rintarō is indecisive and lack of courage, often hesitating to take action or make difficult choices. Despite his shortcomings, Rintarō demonstrates kindness and empathy towards others, even if it means putting himself at risk.
* Lepinta (レピンタ, Repinta) - A mysterious dragon girl with lost memories, whom Rintarō discovered lying unconscious in a dark alley. In reality, she has a rare and extraordinary magical ability over space and time. Initially unable to communicate verbally, Lepinta relies on her actions and expressions to convey her thoughts and emotions. She possesses an almost obsessive fascination with food, constantly fantasizing about devouring delicious meals and going to great lengths to satisfy her hunger. Despite her seemingly air-headed demeanor when it comes to food, Lepinta harbors a keen intelligence and a deep understanding of the world around her. Despite her childlike innocence and playful antics, her loyalty to Rintarō knows no bounds since she's unafraid to express her affection for him with hugs and displays of affection.
* Hanae Kitamura (北村花絵, Kitamura Hanae) - Rintarō's childhood friend and next-door neighbor. Over time, Hanae and Rintarō drifted apart, as harsh demeanor and tendency to tease Rintarō for his perceived weaknesses serve as a defense mechanism. Her interests lean towards traditionally male-dominated activities such as sports, vehicle mechanics and combat training. Despite her tomboyish exterior, Hanae also harbors a feminine side and can be a great cook. Unbeknownst to Rintarō, Hanae harbors romantic feelings for him, a fact she struggles to come to terms with due to her fear of rejection and longing for their lost connection. Despite her reluctance to admit her feelings, Hanae's jealousy flares when she learns of Lepinta's presence in Rintarō's life, feeling threatened by the attention he gives to the dragon girl. Her jealousy and resentment towards Lepinta eventually give way to feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, leading her to confront the underlying issues driving her behavior. Despite her initial awkwardness around conversations about love and romance, Hanae gradually opens up and allows herself to be vulnerable. As the story progresses, Hanae becomes a trusted ally to both Rintarō and Lepinta. 
* Poldrossa (ポルドッサ, Porudossa) - A dragon with a temperament as volatile as the storms she commands, especially when it comes to her impulses that often leave those around her bewildered and on edge. She's quick to anger and prone to violent outbursts, making her a force to be reckoned with in any situation. When Rintarō embarrasses her or pushes her too far, she unleashes bursts of lightning, usually for comedic effect. While this may seem alarming, Poldrossa never intends to harm Rintarō since her actions stem from impulse rather than malice. In moments of calm, she can be surprisingly caring and even cheerful towards Rintarō, demonstrating a softer side that contrasts with her usual aggression. 
* Amath (アマト, Amato) - A mysterious dragon girl whom Rintarō and Lepinta encounter, with mastery over the element of ice and snow. Unlike the fiery temperament of Poldrossa, Amath appears to be seemingly calm and emotionless upon first glance. Her past has left her with scars that run deep, making her appear shy and reserved around others. Amath finds herself in love with Rintarō, after witnessing the compassion he's shown towards others. Despite her attempts to hide her feelings, she can't help but develop romantic affection towards him, causing her to act cold and aloof in his presence for self-preservation. As Rintarō gradually break through her defenses, Amath began to show a softer and more vulnerable side to her personality. While she may still struggle with expressing her emotions openly, her actions speak louder than words. 
* Sizzeo (シゼオ, Shizeo) - A formidable dragon girl with mastery over the element of fire and possesses unparalleled magical prowess. However, her immense power has led her to develop a superiority complex, viewing herself as superior to other dragons and even humans. She believes that showing any vulnerability, especially romantic feelings towards a human like Rintarō, would undermine her strength and make her appear weak in the eyes of others. To conceal her true feelings, Sizzeo adopts a facade of indifference and disdain towards romance. She pretends to detest the concept of love and relationships, believing them to be beneath her as a powerful dragon. Despite her outward scorn, Sizzeo secretly harbors deep-seated feelings of affection and admiration towards Rintarō, stemming from his genuine kindness towards her. 
* Nildrar (ニルドラー, Nirudorā) - The fifth dragon girl encountered by Rintarō, with mastery over the element of water. Despite her immense magical power, she can be ditsy, with her understanding of the human world limited and often comically misunderstood. Initially appearing calm and collected, Nildrar's true nature reveals itself when she becomes playful, cute, and affectionate towards Rintarō. Despite her playful antics, Nildrar possesses a romantic feelings towards Rintarō and would express her feelings through playful gestures. She is fiercely loyal to Rintarō and will go to great lengths to protect and support him, even if it means diving headfirst into situations she doesn't fully understand. 
* Culu (クル, Kuru) - The sixth dragon encountered by Rintarō, possessing the power over the earth and nature. Despite his formidable abilities, Culu's appearance is quite deceiving, as he presents himself as an androgynous male with a striking resemblance to a girl due to his short height and long hair tied back in a ponytail. Initially, Culu comes across as aloof and distant, with a tendency to be stingy and quick to snap, especially towards Rintarō. Despite his outward brusqueness, Culu is deeply mortified by his own romantic love towards Rintarō, fearing judgment from both his fellow dragons and the human world. He grapples with his sense of self-worth and struggles to accept his love for humanity itself, leading to moments of self-doubt.

She is known for her comically exaggerated reactions, often resorting to playful smacks on her son's head when he gets into trouble or fails to meet her expectations. Despite her occasional hysteria and insistence on finding Rintarō a bride, Mei quickly takes a shine to Lepinta and the other dragon girls, treating them like houseguests.
* Tatsuya Akematsu (あけまつたつや, Akematsu Tatsuya) - Rintarō's laid-back and bumbling father. Often found lost in his own world or buried in a newspaper, he ignores the chaos that ensues around the house, including his wife being a control freak and his son's misadventures.
