Plot
Upon passing a school in heaven, graduating angels are sent down to Earth, where they must learn about humans and guide them towards the correct path in order to become true angels. However, Gabriel White Tenma, the top angel in her class, becomes addicted to video games upon arriving on Earth and turns into a complete slob as a result. The story follows Gabriel, along with other angels and demons who have descended to Earth, as they attend high school.
Characters
- Gabriel White Tenma (天真・ガヴリール・ホワイト, Tenma Gavurīru Howaito) / Gab (ガヴ, Gavu)
- Voiced by: Miyu Tomita[5]
- An angel who was the top of her class but turned into a slob after becoming addicted to video games. She is often lazy and unmotivated and has ignored or lashed out against anyone trying to order or boss her around. She also despises Satania and has physically attacked her multiple times, sometimes without any provocation.
- Vignette April Tsukinose (月乃瀬・ヴィネット・エイプリル, Tsukinose Vinetto Eipuriru) / Vigne (ヴィーネ, Vīne)
- Voiced by: Saori Ōnishi[5]
- The complete opposite of Gabriel, she is very responsible and often looks after Gabriel, contrary to her actual role as a demon. The only exception where Vignette acts manipulative or threatening is to do things she enjoys; like celebrating Christmas (despite being a demon) and forcing Gabriel into a cute cat costume.
- Satanichia McDowell Kurumizawa (胡桃沢・サタニキア・マクドウェル, Kurumizawa Satanikia Makudoweru) / Satania (サターニャ, Satānya)
- Voiced by: Naomi Ōzora[5]
- An egotistical, childish and bratty demon who often thinks of weird or immature ways to cause mischief, which usually end in failure. She has no sense of taste and is often pestered by Raphiel and stray dogs; the latter which constantly steals her beloved melon bread. She is frequently bullied or humiliated by her 'friends' and is easily tricked due to her incompetence.
- Raphiel Ainsworth Shiraha (白羽・ラフィエル・エインズワース, Shiraha Rafieru Einzuwāsu) / Raphi (ラフィ, Rafi)
- Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa[5]
- The second ranked angel in Gabriel's class, who (despite normally having a constant angelic smile) has since become a sadistic stalker who takes delight in teasing and manipulating Satania. She is afraid of frogs.
- Tapris Sugarbell Chisaki (千咲・タプリス・シュガーベル, Chisaki Tapurisu Shugāberu) / Tap (タプ, Tapu)
- Voiced by: Inori Minase[6]
- An underclassman angel who admired Gabriel in angel school and presumes Satanichia was the one responsible for turning her into a slob. She also knows of Vignette and calls her senpai (senior) for her kindness, but knowing she is a demon, distrusts her.
- Machiko (まち子)
- Voiced by: Mai Fuchigami[6]
- The class president of Gabriel's class, who is unaware that Gabriel is an angel and often finds her actions bewildering.
- Master (マスター, Masutā)
- Voiced by: Hideyuki Umezu[6]
- The owner of a coffee shop where Gabriel works part time. He is often bewildered by Gabriel's behavior, but assumes it is just because she is a foreigner.
