Story
Girls Bravo features a young male student named Yukinari Sasaki who was teased and bullied by girls to the point that he developed an allergic reaction, breaking out in hives whenever he comes into contact with a female. One day, when he comes back from school, he gets kicked into his bathtub by Kirie and is transported to "Seiren", a mysterious world with a mostly female population. While Seiren is featured in several episodes, the majority of the series takes place in Japan.

Major characters

 * Yukinari Sasaki (佐々木 雪成)
 * The series main character. Because of his small stature and generally meek disposition, Yukinari has been bullied by girls his entire life and therefore suffers an allergic reaction that causes him to break out in hives whenever he comes into contact with a woman. (in 2 instances he loses consciousness after being hugged/and or touching a girls breasts.) One day, he is knocked into his bathtub and is transported to the alien world of Seiren, a planet where men comprise less than 10% of the population. Upon arriving in Seiren, Yukinari meets a young girl named Miharu who for some reason does not cause him to break out on contact. Yukinari has a bad habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This, along with other 'close encounters', gets him kicked, punched, and otherwise beaten up by Kirie. He lives alone in the anime.

 * Miharu Sena Kanaka (ミハル·セナ·カナカ)
 * A pink-haired resident of Seiren who pulled Yukinari into her world and later followed him back to Earth to live with him. She has a mark on her forehead shaped like three dots in a triangle, which provides her with several powers, such as the ability to transfer between Seiren and Earth, and the power to create explosions whenever she's in emotional distress. She is also the only woman who can touch Yukinari without triggering his allergy. Miharu has an outrageous appetite and an impossibly rapid metabolism. She spends most of the series questioning her friends whether something is edible or not (like butterflies), and her continuous misunderstandings about Earth (such as believing that April Fools' Day means that everyone on Earth lies for one day) is the title's primary source of humor. Despite this, she has a heart of gold, an explorer's fascination with Earth and a genuinely open affection for Yukinari. She is an extremely innocent girl who does not show any discomfort with being partially or fully naked in front of Yukinari, and she does not lose her temper even when made the target of Fukuyama's lecherous actions, unless in the process he eats or otherwise ruins whatever she happens to be eating at the time.

 * Kirie Kojima (小島 桐絵)
 * Yukinari's neighbor and classmate who takes care of him from time to time. She's especially well-endowed, which makes her a natural target for Kazuharu Fukuyama's perverted actions. However, due to her physical aptitude and martial-arts abilities, she always manages to turn the tables on him. She also sometimes punishes Yukinari for his 'perverted' actions, although they are accidental on Yukinari's part. Kirie accidentally sends Yukinari to his first arrival into Seiren when she slugs him for unintentionally peeping on her when her shower wasn't working correctly and she used Yukinari's instead, which led him to fall into the bathtub. Despite their somewhat turbulent relationship, it's hinted many times that she has much deeper feelings for Yukinari, and possibly towards Fukuyama, describing him as 'my type of idiot' in the last episode. Because of her strong character, Kirie seems to attract a large number of admirers among the boys in her high school. In the anime she also attracts female admirers, specifically Kosame and Ms. Hijiri, much to her chagrin, although in the manga Kirie was accosted by an alternate version of Lisa when she entered a parallel world through an enchanted mirror in Fukuyama's house. A running joke throughout the series is Kirie's complete lack of cooking skills which result in the creation of food that's not only inedible but hazardous as well. In fact, Fukuyama once ate a bento lunch prepared by her and fell ill. Kirie suffers an overwhelming fear of ghosts and the paranormal, and despite her tomboyish character enjoys collecting dolls.

 * Kazuharu Fukuyama (福山 和春)
 * A classmate of Yukinari and Kirie and the series primary antagonist. Fukuyama is rich, powerful, and perverted and while he often chases girls and picks on Yukinari (who he nicknames "chibi-nari", or "puny-nari" in the English dub) he does show a serious, caring side in critical situations. He is a severe androphobe to the point that he's developed an allergy that causes him to break out with a rash whenever he comes into contact with another male. Extremely stealthful, he has the ability to suddenly appear without the others noticing until he announces his presence, whereupon he either gropes or strips the girls of their clothing, which always earns him a severe beating from Kirie. Despite his own lecherous behaviour, Fukuyama is highly protective of his younger sister, Lisa, and strongly objects to her affections for Yukinari.

 * Lisa Fukuyama (福山 リサ)
 * Fukuyama's slightly insane younger sister. Lisa is a master of black magic, which has caused more than a few problems throughout the series (infesting her family's mansion with ghosts, summoning a giant octopus in the school swimming pool, causing an explosion within a shopping center). Lisa is constantly accompanied by Hayate and Kosame, who cater to her every whim such as gathering intelligence or even kidnapping. She develops an infatuation for Yukinari after his appearance matches a description in her horoscope for her soul mate and often employs her magic to get closer to him—with predictably disastrous results. Although she considers Miharu a rival, she is very fond of Ebi, who reminds her of the pet cat she owned when she was a little girl. In the anime, Ebi's girl form reminds her of the beloved doll she used to spend her days with, which she was reunited with later on in the series.

 * Koyomi Hare Nanaka (コヨミ·ハレ·ナナカ)
 * A resident of Seiren who suffers a paralyzing fear of men. Her phobia is only made worse by being one of Fukuyama's favorite targets; in the manga, this results in her keeping a diary of the many times he's accosted her. Originally sent to Earth on a mission from the Space Travel Agency to 'retrieve' Miharu, she later moves into Yukinari's house on a prolonged mission to find a husband for Maharu, Miharu's sister. Of course, her male phobia makes the act of even talking to a man nearly impossible. In the anime, Koyomi is also searching for her long-lost father, a native of Earth, whom she later reunites with at the series' end. Koyomi's favorite pastime is reading, and she has a natural talent for table tennis. In the anime she's even won the Seiren tournament five years in a row. Koyomi's mother possessed a Seikon mark like Miharu, and Koyomi herself possesses a dormant form of Seikon, which allowed her to create a portal to Seiren after Miharu was kidnapped in the anime. Koyomi in the anime also adopts a large python as a pet after being tricked into wearing it over herself during Fukuyama's Cosplay Mahjong game, which is ironic considering her fear of men and snakes being a phallic symbol.

 * Tomoka Lana Jude (トモカ·ラナ·ジュード)
 * A resident of Seiren who was sent to aid Koyomi in finding Maharu a groom after Koyomi's less than productive efforts. Although a child, Tomoka deeply resents being treated as one and insists that she's as mature as anyone else, despite frequent actions by her which prove otherwise. Unlike the other female characters, she gets along fairly well with Fukuyama (presumably because she's too young for him to have any sexual interest in), whom she refers to as "big-brother," and the two occasionally team up to obtain some mutual objective. In the anime, Tomoka frequently uses Ebi as a makeshift club for hitting almost anything and anyone. Tomoka can also use transformation magic, and in the anime becomes friends with Lisa after conceding defeat in a magical duel. She is also obsessed with Poyon, her favorite TV show character. Because she's a child, Tomoka is able to have contact with Yukinari without triggering his female allergy. She also looks up to Kirie as a "big-sister" ("onee-chan" in the original dub). For example, she follows Kirie's example of drop-kicking Fukuyama right in the face. In the manga, Tomoka is later revealed to be a genius capable of instantly answering a complex math equation from a college entrance exam.

 * Ebi (えび)
 * A rare and magical creature from Seiren. Ebi in the manga was accidentally summoned by Miharu during a bath, whereas in the anime she was accidentally brought to earth in Tomoka's luggage. In both versions, Miharu adopts her as a pet, although in the anime she originally wondered if Ebi would taste good. She resembles a plump miniature seal with the face of a cat and a pair of large bobbing antenna, which causes Miharu to claim she resembles a shrimp and is where her name came from (ebi being the Japanese word for shrimp). Ebi in the anime suffers a great deal of torment at the hands of Tomoka, who uses her as a flail, fishing bait, a handball, etc. On one occasion, Tomoka transformed Ebi into a small green-haired girl to show off her magical knowledge, although in the manga Tomoka only did it briefly, as Yukinari and Kirie paid more attention to the transformed Ebi than to her. Ebi is surprisingly intelligent, and during a Mahjong match in the anime, she thought through the entire play in her mind. Unfortunately, Tomoka was a novice and Ebi couldn't speak human language, rendering her plan fruitless. Ebi in the anime is also able to shoot a powerful beam attack (called the E-beam by Tomoka) from her mouth.

Minor characters

 * Maharu Sena Kanaka (マハル·セナ·カナカ)
 * Miharu's well-endowed older sister. She is very determined and won't hesitate to use violence to get her way. Although initially jealous of Miharu's relationship with Yukinari, she later gave her blessing for them to be together. Much to Yukinari's dismay, that does not stop her from flirting and fondling him whenever she gets a chance. Due to Seiren's low male population and the fact that she's inching dangerously close to 30, Maharu assigns both Koyomi and Tomoka to find a man of her own on earth. Though flirtatious, she is, in fact, quite picky by Seiren standards, rejecting Fukuyama immediately upon discovering his perverted nature. In the end of the anime she asks Hayate if he would like to get married, but an answer was not given.

 * Hayate (疾風)
 * One of Lisa's attendants. While he only makes a handful of appearances in the manga, Hayate in the anime forms a strong rivalry/friendship with Tomoka, and the two occasionally battle one another in friendly duels. Hayate is a very calm, loyal, and serious individual who will go to great lengths for his mistress, Lisa; this usually involves doing some sort of research or private investigating. Tomoka nicknames him "ninja" because of his stealthy ways, only revealing himself when attending to Lisa, or to attack.

 * Kosame (小雨)
 * Lisa's second attendant. She has only a small role in the manga but in the anime. After a battle with Kirie, she becomes completely infatuated with her. Her obsession is so strong that just being in Kirie's presence is enough to make Kosame either grope or make some other pass at her, which usually requires Hayate to rein her in. When not fawning over Kirie, Kosame is as stoic a figure as Hayate and frequently uses her gun to either pry information out of others or to force them into doing her bidding. In the anime she is also a considerably stronger fighter than Kirie.

 * Mamoru Machida (町田 守)
 * A classmate of Yukinari's who is obsessed with cleanliness and dons an alter-ego, Lightning Squadron Mamo Ranger, (a parody of Super Sentai or Power Rangers in the US) in the pursuit of his passion, although at first glance his 'squadron' consists of only him. Extremely accident prone, he tends to cause more problems than he solves, whereupon his deluded sense of reality causes him to blame his "villainous opponents." In the manga, he later drafts the others into the Mamo Rangers, although they want absolutely nothing to do with it. In the anime, Mamoru becomes an apprentice to Lilica which turns him from a mild annoyance into a serious threat to public safety.

 * Lilica Stacy (梨々花·ステイジー)
 * The Fukuyamas' chief maid. She has fought in military operations in Bosnia, Somalia, Chechnya, and Afghanistan. Lilica is highly intelligent and is often seen with a laptop, which serves various purposes, such as operating the mechanical devices within the Fukuyama mansion and deploying surveillance software from a spy satellite orbiting earth. (This is how Fukuyama constantly finds Koyomi and the others.) In the anime, Lilica took on Mamoru Machida as an apprentice after being impressed by his desire to protect the world from grime and dirt. She is also occasionally hinted to be in love with Fukuyama.

 * Hijiri Kanata (彼方 ヒジリ)
 * A very strict teacher at Yukinari's high school. In the anime, she was actually a spy for Yukina, whose mission was to observe and eventually kidnap Miharu. Hijiri had been obsessed with Miharu since they were both children, and Yukina promised to give Miharu to her in exchange for helping her achieve her goals. After being defeated by Kirie however, Hijiri forgot about Miharu and began to lust after Kirie instead, something that neither Kazuharu nor Kosame took very lightly.

 * Yukina (ユキナ)
 * The ruthless head of Seiren's Space Management Bureau's Special Forces Division, who also has the power of Seikon like Miharu and Koyomi. Because of her slight build and her Seikon markings that completely cover her body, Yukina felt that no man would ever love her and thus developed a condition that causes her to break out in hives upon contact with men, similar to Yukinari and his allergy to women (hence her name being similar to his). Her illness and anti-masculine prejudices are what cause Yukina to determine that if she couldn't be loved by men then no one in Seiren would. At the end of the series, Yukina has her lieutenant Hijiri kidnap Miharu and bring her back to Seiren so Yukina could steal Miharu's power and use it to permanently seal the gateway to Earth and make Seiren a "women-only paradise". But after being shown kindness by Yukinari, Yukina returned Miharu and even fell in love with Yukinari the end of episode 13 season 2 Miharu is scene waking up Yukinari telling him what they're having for breakfast and when she lifts the covers she sees Yukina snuggling with Yukinari who's allergic reaction has returned and then Yukina declares that "Yukinari is my one true love and I will never leave him". Yukina is first revealed in the second season episode 13

 * The Boss
 * An anime exclusive character. The Boss is a tall and heavy set man of few words dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and is usually accompanied by a loud-mouthed sidekick in a blue leisure suit. He and his companion cross Yukinari and the others' paths throughout the series, but the Boss does not speak until after Miharu is kidnapped. He then helps Yukinari realize that the only way to get Miharu back is to fight for her with everything he's got. When his sidekick later asks why he never spoke before, the Boss shrugs and replies that he simply never had anything to say.


 * Mrs. Sasaki
 * Yukinari's mother who appears only in the manga. As Yukinari kept Miharu a secret from her, Mrs. Sasake began to fear that the strange occurrences in her house were due to a ghost, but eventually decided not to worry about it since all the "ghost" did was eat all the food. She is not seen past the manga's first volume.


 * Hakana
 * A ghost who appeared at Fukuyama's private hot spring when Yukinari and company paid a visit. Her actual name is only mentioned in the credits. She was attacked by a peeping tom one night, and died when she slipped and hit her head while chasing him. Now she wants to cross on to the afterlife, but to do so, she must fulfill her revenge against a pervert. Yukinari, the dubbed pervert in question, was nominated to fondle her while she inhabited one of the girls. Lisa attempted to be the host, but it failed, and Kirie was possessed instead. Kirie's subconscious tried to resist the groping, and Hakana realized it was because of her feelings for him. Then, the two hugged, and Hakana passed on.

Anime
An anime adaptation of the manga was directed by Ei Aoki and produced by AIC. Broadcasted on Fuji TV, it began airing in Japan on July 6, 2004 and ran until September 28, 2004, spanning 11 episodes. Two pieces of theme music were used in the series. "Going My Way", sung by Yozuca*, is the opening theme. "Koko ni Iru kara" performed by Miyuki Hashimoto is the ending theme. Geneon Universal Entertainment also licensed the series for an English-language dubbed release.

AIC produced a second anime television series, directed by Ei Aoki. Broadcast on WOWOW, it premiered on January 27, 2005, and ran weekly until its conclusion on April 21, 2005, spanning 13 episodes. "Ever After" performed by Yozuca* is the opening theme. "And Then..." performed by Miyuki Hashimoto is the ending theme. Geneon Universal Entertainment also licensed the series for an English-language dubbed release.

The TV broadcast of season 1 became infamous due to its relatively conservative broadcasting; most of the objectionable content was censored with shadowing, steam, and digital editing. The TV broadcast of the second season and DVD versions of both seasons did not have the censoring. The series ran mostly at very late nights due to the sexual content.

Other media
Like many other anime series of this genre, the series has been adapted into other media. These include soundtracks and character figurines.

Visual novel
The series was adapted into a visual novel, entitled Girls Bravo Romance 15's (GIRLSブラボRomance15's), for the PlayStation 2; it was released in Japan on January 27, 2005, published by Kadokawa Shoten. The game received a CERO rating of "15 up". The character designs in the game much more closely resemble their manga counterparts than the anime.
