Characters

Galko (ギャル子, Gyaruko)
Voiced by: Azumi Waki[3]
The main character of the series, who despite her name and appearance, is very inexperienced and innocent, and gets easily embarrassed over her physique and what she says, as she sometimes accidentally says suggestive stuff. She has difficulty waking up early, but becomes more active as the day passes. She is also very emotional and becomes easily involved when reading books or watching movies, to the point of crying. She enjoys cooking, and usually makes her own bentos, and can even make bread. She is also terrified of body modifications such as piercings, despite having earrings. She also has an older sister, with whom she often exchanges clothes, including her school uniform; she gets angry, however, after finding out just what her sister does with it.
Otako (オタ子)
Voiced by: Miyu Tomita[3]
One of Galko's friends, an Otaku with glasses who likes to mock Galko and gets constantly annoyed by her inability to wake up early. She likes to tell and ask Galko especially about suggestive topics. Between classes, Otako prefers to sit quietly and read. At home she watches anime based on her brother's recommendations.
Ojou (お嬢, Ojō)
Voiced by: Minami Takahashi[3]
Another of Galko's friends, who is a proper lady from a rich family. She is friendly and somewhat of an airhead.
Charao (チャラ男)
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai
One of Galko's classmates, a blond boy who is outgoing, popular, and tends to tease Galko. He is the vocalist and bassist of the school's light music club.
Otao (オタ男)
Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka
One of Galko's classmates and Charao's friends. A shy otaku boy with glasses who has a crush on Galko. He is shown to be a closet pervert.

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono
One of Galko's classmates and Charao's friends. He is a regular at the school's baseball team, and is very careful but proud about his haircut.
Abesen (アベセン)
Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura
Galko's homeroom teacher.
Okako (オカ子)
Voiced by: Yūko Iida
Galko's very tall classmate who has a bad posture due to her height, and is also interested in the occult. The boys start stalking her after they learn from Galko that she also has big breasts.
Nikuko (肉子)
Voiced by: Juri Kimura
Another of Galko's classmates, a chubby girl with glasses. She is a member of the girl's futsal team, nicknamed "Sonic Meat" by the boys because she's very fast despite her weight.
Iinchou (委員長, Iinchō)
Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa
The class president of Galko's class with a serious personality. Her name translates literally into "class president".
Bomuo (ボム男)
Voiced by: Makoto Furukawa
Galko's quiet classmate who was initially annoyed by her, but warms slightly to her after she changes his eye-covering hairstyle. He earned his nickname from Charao after coming to school with bed hair, and Galko fixed his hair for him. He buys beauty products and starts using that as his regular hairstyle, and appears to have developed a crush on her.
Ouji (王子, Ōji)
Voiced by: Yuna Yoshino
Galko's classmate who is very tomboyish. She is often shown talking with Iinchou. Her name translates literally into "Prince".
Galko's sister
