Characters
The Shinmoto siblings are energetic, carefree and too full of themselves.

- Chiko is the elder sister of the Shinmoto siblings and is a 2nd-year college student. She has a blonde hair and blue eyes and is fond of handsome guys. In the first episode of the anime, she doesn't seem to like to go to the college just because there aren't any handsome guys. Chiko's dream is to conquer the world which is similar to Mako's which is to save the world being a heroine by defeating anyone in her way. She is called an otaku by Chika but seems to hate being called like that. Instead, she wants to be called as a bishōjo (a beautiful girl).
