Daisuke Aoki ( 青木 大介, Aoki Daisuke) Voiced by: Junji Majima Daisuke Aoki, is a freshly graduated 23-year-old elementary school instructor who has been placed in charge of the third grade class 3-1. Reiji tells her to never lose hope that she would one day find someone who would understand and love her, and also encourages her to not succumb to anger and hatred at the world like he did. She eventually develops a secret crush on Rin's cousin Reiji as he recognizes much of who he once was in her. Mimi is also a shy person, but opens up over time from her friendship with Rin and Kuro. She is emotionally fragile, and increasingly depressed due to her abilities that her friends don't seem to possess, such as being well-endowed among others. Mimi Usa struggles to establish a sense of self-identity as most of her characteristics emphasize qualities about herself which she is uncomfortable with. Mimi Usa ( 宇佐 美々, Usa Mimi) Voiced by: Mai Kadowaki A quiet, bespectacled young girl whose knowledge of adult and sexual matters is inversely proportional to her level of physical development. Kuro's overall distrust of men stems from her mother's divorce from her cheating husband. Kuro often wears clothing in the Gothic Lolita style, sometimes combined with nekomimi ears and tail. The apparent wealth of the Kagami family allows her to indulge her obsession with following the latest fashion trends. Kuro has a kinder side to her though as she manages to befriend both Rin and Mimi and is very protective of them. She is also aware that he is a rival for Rin's affection which infuriates her more as she has a crush on Rin. She is openly contemptuous of Aoki due to his inability to consistently enforce discipline in the classroom, and her belief that he is a lolicon. Kuro Kagami ( 鏡 黒, Kagami Kuro) Voiced by: Kei Shindō Kuro Kagami is one of Rin's closest friends, and frequent "partner in crime" due to their similar levels of sexual knowledge. Rin ages throughout the story, but worries that Daisuke won't ever see her as an adult. Much of her bad behavior is a result of trying to hide the traces of the vulnerable little girl she used to be as a result of a tragedy in her past. Despite Rin's mischievous nature she has shown herself to care deeply for her friends and family, going to any length to defend them. Some of these tactics include taking advantage of Daisuke's inability to respond to her forcible advances by threatening to scream that he is trying to molest her, even though she initiated them. She goes to great lengths to make him fall in love with her, crossing moral and legal boundaries many times.

She has a mischievous nature and proclaims herself to be Daisuke's girlfriend. Rin Kokonoe ( 九重 りん, Kokonoe Rin) Voiced by: Eri Kitamura Rin is a young girl in third grade who has an intense crush on her teacher Daisuke. Kodomo no Jikan main characters: Mimi (left), Rin (center), and Kuro (right).
