Let's meet some of the characters!

I'd like to show our lovely artist, El.Seth, hard at work with sprites! This post will be a mix of finished sprites, sketches, and concepts, but things are coming along nicely! So, without further ado, let's introduce some of the cast!

Chiharu Akayama

Our heroine! Despite popular belief, Chiharu sees herself as ordinary and plain. She's actually a fun girl to hang out with, always joking and doing crazy things. Then her shyness takes over, causing her to act weird around Keiji... either being avoidant, or sometimes tsundere, toward him.

Keiji Mayutaka

Chiharu's love interest. He's a normal guy who's generally nice, as well as very smart (he likes to study a lot). He despises idiots and can often times be sarcastic, and take on an intimidating demeanor at times. Basically, he's OK with you if you're not obnoxious.

Arisa Shironami

Your run-of-the-mill bookworm who resembles Yuki Nagato, only she has emotions and isn't an alien. As you might have guessed, she always loves to read books. However, despite popular belief, she actually only gets average grades. And despite what grades say, she has street smarts!

Headmaster Marcosso

One of the two mysterious leaders of the Operation Magic Hero. Very little is known about him, and he is not seen often. He's not the most friendliest guy, and can sometimes taunt the Magic Heroes if he feels they did not do a good job. However, he does try to push them in the right direction.

Nami Aizawa

Nami's the kind of girl who'll be your cheering squad. She always pushes her friends to "aim high" and "believe in yourself". Sometimes she can have a short attention span, and won't be paying attention to you if the conversation suddenly bores her.

Daishiro Konami

This dorky guy likes to think he's all that. He's charming in his own way though, despite the fact that he's clumsy and likes to talk too much. He's always flirting with Arisa, using lots of flowery and poetic words. She thinks he's only teasing her, but in truth his dramatic gestures convey the true feelings of his heart!

Asahi Tanaguchi

This guy loves having attention. He's known to be a cool, popular guy, and even has a horde of fangirls following him around! He can be arrogant, thinking too highly of himself, but he still doesn't mind hanging out with the so-called "not popular" people.

Ruri Kizaki

A sweet, kind, and gentle girl, Ruri finds it a pleasure to greet people and spend time with them. She is often seen with her childhood friend, Toshio, who was born mute, so she translates his sign language when he doesn't feel like writing on a marker board. In private conversations, they simply sign to each other.

Seiko Kizaki

She is Ruri's non-identical twin sister (despite this, she can be mistaken as Ruri at a glance, which pisses her off). As opposed to the gentle, sweet Ruri, Seiko is loud, rude, and not afraid to be harsh, giving you the cold blooded truth. Some even call her anti-social, and she often thinks that everyone are idiots. She can be a very frustrating person to be with. Has a huge rivalry with Jirou Taiyama.

And believe it or not, there's still more characters to come! Yes, this cast is HUGE, and I just can't wait for you to meet all them! Now, El has let me know due to busyness IRL, she will not be able to finish all the sprites by the 20th, which is fine. So instead, we're going to release a demo, a "chapter 1" of sorts, as she thinks she'll be able to manage all the characters that show up there, which she has made priority to finish. So still expect a little something on the 10 year anniversary, and the full initial release should come out later this year as well!
