Sōta Koyurugi is the son of a baker who owns a cake shop. While a high school student, he fell in love with Saeko Takahashi, the most popular and beautiful girl in school and one year his senior. Saeko only dates handsome men with power, position, and popularity in their school; therefore Sōta, being rather quiet and pale, chased after her from afar like a butterfly. He confesses to her one Christmas after she broke up with her boyfriend and they begin their relationship. Saeko has a burning passion for chocolate and gives a box of famous French chocolates to Sōta. Thus he decides to learn how to make smooth and delicious chocolate especially for her. However, the day before Valentine's Day, she refuses his box of home-made chocolates, saying that she has reconciled with her boyfriend and that they are now together once more. Heavy-hearted, Sōta asks Saeko to get rid of his chocolate for him, since it is painful to throw away something he made for someone special, to which she agrees and bids him farewell on a snowy evening. After the loss, Sōta travels to France to be employed by a renowned brand of chocolate and continues chasing his "fairy". Five years later, he returns to Japan, now having made a name for himself as a "Chocolate Prince". He takes over his family business and transforms it into an elegant chocolate shop. Saeko visits him again and he is determined to pursue her for many years to come, irrespective of her superficial marriage to a powerful man and the many opinions from his peers and coworkers about his obsession and whether or not Saeko is just playing around with Sōta.
Sōta Koyurugi is the main character in the story. After six years of training in France, Sōta Koyurugi comes back to Japan, and becomes the chef for his own chocolate store Choco La Vie. As he has not stopped loving Saeko, he still wants to get her attention with what he achieved, but Sōta Koyurugi never expected to find that Saeko Takahashi is getting married.
Saeko Takahashi is the second main character, and she is the love interest of Sōta Koyurugi. When she was a senior student in the same high school as Sōta Koyurugi, she used to date only the handsome boys. Saeko Takahashi is interested in fashion, makeup, and chocolate. When she meets Sōta Koyurugi again, she breaks his heart by telling him that she is marrying an older man who works for a publishing company. She asks Sōta to make her wedding cake and desserts because she wants to sound out Sōta's love for her. Despite not displaying any romantic love towards him, she seems to continue to encourage Sōta's desire and obsession, taking his unconditional love for granted and remains possessive of him.
Kaoruko Inoue is a member of the staff and the manager at the Choco La Vie. She has been working in the store since Sōta Koyurugi's father was selling French pastries and cakes before Sōta changed it into a chocolate store. When Sōta Koyurugi opens the store Choco La Vie, she gives a lot of advice and starts to develop an unrequited love to him.
Erena Kato is a fashion model. She meets Sōta Koyurugi at a party and they develop a strong friendship. They both relate to each other as Erena Kato also has an unrequited love.
Olivier Tréluyer is the son of the owner of Patisserie Tréluyer, a famous long-established store in France. He is Sōta's good friend and is a member of the staff at Choco La Vie.
Matsuri Koyurugi is Sōta Koyurugi's younger sister, and she is a university student and a part-timer at Choco La Vie. Although she is a modest and cheerful person, she is dating her friend's boyfriend. When Olivier Treluyer tells her about his feelings for her, she gets really surprised.
Seinosuke Rikudo owns the store Chocolatier Ricdor, and it is known to be the Chocolate Nobel. He is Sōta Koyurugi's business rival, but at the same time is secretly in love with him.
Makoto Koyurugi is Sōta Koyurugi's and Matsuri Koyurugi's father, and he is the original owner of his son's store. He used to sell pastries in his store Tokio, but after Sōta returns from France to Japan, he gives him all the support by allowing him to redesign the store Tokio into Choco La Vie.
