One of the two main heroines of the Modern Kirameki Saga. A sweet, cheerful, compassionate and sincere girl in more or less the same mold as Tokimemo 2's heroine Hikari Hinomoto, the Main Protagonist meets her on his first day of High School. She dreams of becoming a nurse. Is best friends with Tsugumi Godo.

Tropes associated with Maki Hoshikawa:
 * Hospital Hottie: Dreams of becoming a nurse,.

Voiced by: Juri Takita


The other main heroine of the Modern Kirameki Saga, and Student Council President of Kirameki High. She's a relative of Shiori Fujisaki of Tokimemo 1, she views her in high regards, and wishes to be as perfect as her, to meet her love, and confess her feelings to him under the Legendary Tree, like the Superstar of Kirameki High did in her High School time. As such, Yuu is completely molded in the same vein as Shiori, to the point of being an Expy of her.

Maki's best friend, to the point of being VERY overprotective of her.
