Haruka Oozora

She’s great at sports, but she’s a total newbie when it comes to beach volleyball.

Kanata Higa

Kanata is Haruka’s cousin who lives in Okinawa and is also a second-year student like Haruka. She used to play beach volleyball, but since she didn’t grow taller like she thought she would, she gave up. She has a quiet, introverted personality. She was dragged into it by Haruka, so she will restart playing beach volleyball with Haruka.

Claire Thomas

Voice Actor: Atsumi Tanezaki

Claire is also a second-year student like Haruka and Kanata. Both her and her twin sister Emily have always got excellent grades, and now, the two as a pair also currently hold the 2nd highest scores across all of Japan. Claire doesn’t sweat the small stuff and has a bit of a sloppy personality. Thus, she immediately found a kindred spirit in Haruka whose personality is similar to hers.

Emily Thomas

Voice Actor: Rie Suegara

Emily is also another second-year high school student like Haruka and the others. She has a serious, quiet personality and is always quarreling with her older twin sister, Claire.

Ayasa Tachibana

Akari Ooshiro

Voice Actor: Chisaki Kimura

Akari is a first-year student at Haruka’s high school. She’s in showbiz, so because of that, she’s out of place with those around her and is isolated in school.
