Characters[]
- Mitsuba Marui (丸井 みつば Marui Mitsuba?)
- Voiced by: Ayahi Takagaki[1]
- The eldest of the Marui triplets, enjoys causing mischief and is aptly described as a "precocious sadist". She is easily embarassed and quick to deny her feelings toward someone, when she really does care. A running gag in the anime is that her desk always gets destroyed by Futaba.
- Futaba Marui (丸井 ふたば Marui Futaba?)
- Voiced by: Satomi Akesaka[1]
- The middle of the Marui triplets, she's energetic and airheaded but also can speak and act lecherously. It's explained that while Futaba is goofy, she does have dedication when the topic is about breasts; she has a strange boob obsession. She often ends her sentences in "su", a shorted word for desu.
- Hitoha Marui (丸井 ひとは Marui Hitoha?)
- Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu[1]
- The youngest of the Marui triplets, she tends to be quiet and mysterious. She always seem to be reading a book in class which has shown to be very erotic. She also shows a death glare at anyone who tries to take it away from her. She may not intend this glare to be so vicious, as it also appears when she's particularly nervous, embarrassed or uncertain, such as when giving in to her teacher and asking a few of her classmates to walk home together. She also has a soft side for Nipples.
- Satoshi Yabe (矢部 智 Yabe Satoshi?)
- Voiced by: Hiro Shimono[1]
- The new teacher at the triplets school who has to endure all of the misadventures the girls and his classroom have. He tries his best to keep things under control but because of his good natured and humble personality, he becomes a target for "bullying" of the girls. He bought a hamster, named Nipples by Futaba, for his classroom. He seems to have a crush on the school nurse.
- Aiko Kuriyama (栗山 愛子 Kuriyama Aiko?)
- Voiced by: Momoko Saitou[1]
- Shinya Satou (佐藤 信也 Satō Shin'ya?)
- Voiced by: Yuko Sanpei[1]
- He gets along well with Futaba and is friends with Chiba. Similar to Yabe, he's good-natured and smart but still has to deal with the weirdness of his classmates. He tries to do the right thing most of the time but unfortunately is often put into situations where he thought to be a pervert (but he may very well be one).
- Yuudai Chiba (千葉 雄大 Chiba Yūdai?)
- Voiced by: Kazutomi Yamamoto[1]
- He's friends with Satou but is the opposite of him. He shows to be a slack when doing homework and is more of a pervert than Satou. He brings and reads manga in school and even caught a glimpse of Hitoha's erotic book and desperately wants to read it; he even went as far as begging on his knees (Hitoha rejected him though).
- Miku Sugisaki (杉崎 みく Sugisaki Miku?)
- Voiced by: Chiwa Saitou[1]
- Yuki Yoshioka (吉岡 ゆき Yoshioka Yuki?)
- Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki[1]

- Voiced by: Momoko Oohara[1]
- Sakiko Matsuoka (松岡 咲子 Matsuoka Sakiko?)
- Voiced by: Ikumi Hayama[1]
- A friendly and polite girl with an occult fetish. She's mistaken Hitoha as a novice exorcist and enjoys looking for ghosts or spirits with her much to Hitoha's chagrin. None the less, she may have formed a reluctant friendship with her. The twosome often misunderstand each other.
- Soujirou Marui (丸井 草次郎 Marui Sōjirō?)
- Voiced by: Masuo Amada[1]
- The triplets father. In appearence, he looks very suspicious and is often mistaken as a pedofile or a theif resulting with being arrested but later let go. His daughters, mainly Mitsuba and Hitoha, are somewhat embarassed by him.
