Characters Twelve people with very different personalities are gathered together in the Mansion. - Remi – A book-loving second-year high school boy and the protagonist of the story. Quiet, observant, and easily swept along by others. - Saeki – CEO of a well-known start-up company. The first person to arrive at the Mansion. - Carin – A freelance web designer. Bright, considerate, and the natural mood-maker of the group. - Takuto – A self-proclaimed ordinary office worker. Always joking around and goofing off, but sharp when it counts. - Kaede – The daughter of a traditional tea ceremony family. Calm and composed, trying her best to act like the mature voice of reason. - Yuki – A 19-year-old woman with a mild, laid-back personality. Enjoys crochet and baking sweets. - Kai – A young man who works at his family’s greengrocer. A reliable big-brother type who looks after everyone. - Luca – A first-year high school boy. Serious and intelligent; he quickly becomes the person Remi can talk to most easily. - Aki – A gifted artist who mostly shuts himself in his room, drawing. Speaks very little and remains shrouded in mystery. - Erika – A third-year middle school girl. Cheerful, competitive, and bursting with energy. - Jay – A guitarist. Acts tough and foul-mouthed, but is more kind-hearted than he lets on. - Aya – A first-year university student. Quiet and distant at first glance, she keeps others at arm’s length while hiding her true interests.
