 * Abusive Mom: Played for Laughs with her relationship to Erio. Thankfully it doesn't last very long.
 * Adult Child
 * Bumbling Mom: Meme does love her little girl, and the only time she's ever been shown to be serious was when she's thinking about her, but that doesn't stop her from showing she has absolutely no idea on how to be a parent.
 * Christmas Cake: Played with, already being a 39-year-old single mother who still hits on her nephew.

 * Hair Antennae
 * Hot Mom

Ryuuko "Ryuushi" Mifune
"Voiced by: Emiri Katou"

Makoto's highly energetic classmate and a member of their school's girls' basketball team.

 * Covert Pervert
 * Cute but Cacophonic
 * Cute Little Fangs
 * Genki Girl
 * My Name Is Ryuuko: Catch Phrase
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted, in that she's a genuinely bubbly kid.

Maekawa
"Voiced by: Mai Fuchigami"

Another classmate of Makoto who is unusually tall for her age.


 * Cosplay Otaku Girl
 * Huge Schoolgirl/Statuesque Stunner: She tells Makoto that at 179.9cm, she is a magnet for school clubs, but due to her poor physical health (probably just being out of shape), they quickly lose interest in her.
 * Strange Girl: Will often walk around in a costume when not in school.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * The Tease: While not as much as Meme, she does occasionally invoke this trope, particularly when Ryuuko is around.

Yashiro Hoshimiya
"Voiced by: Yuka Iguchi"

A mysterious girl who is frequently seen on a spacesuit.


 * Oracular Urchin: Argues for the existence of the supernatural long after Makoto punctures Erio's fantasies. At points, she almost comes just short of convincing Makoto himself that perhaps life isn't as ordinary as it appears.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl

Ashiro
"Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto"

Meme's old friend.


 * Unlucky Childhood Friend:

Nakajima
"Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima"

A blonde boy Makoto meets while playing baseball.


 * Hair of Gold
 * Love Confession: Did one to Ryuuko before the start of the series, only to be turned down. This causes some awkward moments when she sees him playing on the town's baseball team, and he in turn shows up at her basketball game -- even as he is already dating Hanazawa.

Hanazawa
"Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa"

Captain of the local softball team.


 * The Danza: Only Studio Shaft would name a character after her voice actress.
 * Determinator: While she was winning the preseason games between the city and shopping district baseball teams, she mentions to Makoto that they're constantly losing in the high school games. However, she mentions that she doesn't want to give up, unless their team just loses hope altogether and then possibly get disbanded due to lack of interest from students joining due to their poor track record.
