Characters

Izumi Sena (瀬名 泉水, Sena Izumi)
Voiced by: Tsubasa Yonaga
Izumi is the main protagonist of the story. A college student at the age of eighteen, he aspires to be a manga author despite lacking the talent for it. His father is a director, his mother is a film actress, and his older brother Shōgo is the lead vocalist of a popular band. Ten years ago, he botched a bouquet catching scene in a commercial while dressed as a girl, and since then he refuses to be involved in the entertainment industry due to his "accident" caused by stage fright. Over the course of the series, he begins to develop strong feelings for Ryōma and falls in love with him. He is a huge fan of the fictional anime show Magical Girl Lala-Lulu. Izumi is often mistaken as a girl due to his tiny frame.
Ryōma Ichijō (一条 龍馬, Ichijō Ryōma)
Voiced by: Takuya Eguchi
Ryōma is a popular young actor two years older than Izumi, who fell in love with him as a child, thinking him to be a girl, when they co-starred in a commercial together ten years prior. Even after he finds out Izumi is a guy when they reunite, he still maintains strong feelings for him. He fell in love with Izumi when he was ten and Izumi was eight during the commercial.
Rei Sagara (相楽 玲, Sagara Rei)
Voiced by: Daisuke Hirakawa
Rei is the Sena family's manager. He was taken in by Seiya Sena when he was 18 years old and has lived with the family since then.
Shōgo Sena (瀬名 聖湖, Sena Shōgo)
Voiced by: Daigo
Shōgo is Izumi's doting older brother. Whenever Rei has problems regarding Izumi, Rei contacts his brother. He always dotes on his younger brother and gives Izumi Magical Girl Lala-Lulu merchandise whenever the situation calls for it. Shōgo has been in love with Rei since he was 16 and is the main reason why he joined the band Crusherz.
