Characters edit
- Yachiyo Inugami (犬神 八千代, Inugami Yachiyo)
- Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka
- Sixteen years old. Despite having a dog-like surname and personality, she is a cat lover. She is quite perverted and somewhat of a masochist. In the anime, when she is happy or excited, her ponytail will wag like a dog's tail.
- Suzu Nekoyama (猫山 鈴, Nekoyama Suzu)
- Voiced by: Nao Tōyama
- Sixteen years old. The polar opposite of Yachiyo, as she has a cat-like surname and personality, but loves dogs.
- Aki Hiiragi (柊木 秋, Hiiragi Aki)
- Voiced by: Yuka Ōtsubo
- Yachiyo's friend and Suzu's classmate, who often serves as the straight man trying to bring Yachiyo and Suzu's relationship back down to reality.
- Mikine Nezu (杜松 美希音, Nezu Mikine)
- Voiced by: Sayaka Horino
- Yachiyo's classmate who, like a mouse, eats a lot of cheese and is generally nocturnal. She is a member of the biology club.
- Yukiji Ushiwaka (牛若 雪路, Ushiwaka Yukiji)
- Voiced by: Aoi Fujimoto
- Mikine's senior in the biology club who, much like her cow-like name suggests, has ample breasts.
- Sora Sarutobi (猿飛 空, Sarutobi Sora)
- Voiced by: Shoko Nagahiro
- The class president of Yachiyo's class. She hates being referred to as a monkey because of her name, even though she displays various monkey traits now and again.
- Hibari Torikai (鳥飼 ひばり, Torikai Hibari)
- Voiced by: Erii Yamazaki
- Sora's bird-like childhood friend, who is often absent from class due to her poor health.
