The ''[[Comic Party]]'' franchise has a well-defined set of characters. CP is the first season anime ''Comic Party''; "CPR" is the second season anime ''Comic Party Revolution''. Names are given in English order.
 
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: ''Very'' noticeable.
* [[Meganekko]]: Always wears her glasses, except in the outdoor bath during the [[Hot Springs Episode]].
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Uses one to slap her table to draw attention during ComiPa and spot sales. Also uses it on Eimi occasionally when "Ohba-ka" has done something [[egregious]]ly stupid.
 
==Eimi Ohba==
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
*[[Mie Sonozaki]] (Japanese), [[Carol Jacobanis]] (CP English), [[Kim Prause]] (CPR English)
Aya Hasebe is a timid girl who draws original dojinshi. She usually gets people's attention by [[Caught the Heart on His Sleeve|pulling on their shirtsleeves]] rather than calling out to them. (During the [[Hot Springs Episode]], she taps a shoulder instead.) Aya's circle is called "Jamming Book Store". Her dojinshi does not sell well because she has a hard time attracting customers, even though it has good artwork and costs only 200 yen (instead of the usual 500-1000 yen). Kazuki admires her artwork and creative story, so he tries to help her sell whenever he can.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Aya include:}}
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: To the point that Taishi calls her "Stealth Aya" in ''Comic Party Revolution'' episode 9. She has so little personal presence that most people simply do not notice she's present.
 
==Minami Makimura==
Line 45 ⟶ 49:
*[[Sumie Baba]] (Japanese), [[Lisa Ortiz]] (CP English), Kim-Ly Nguyen (CPR English)
Chisa Tsukamoto is the daughter of the printing shop where Kazuki gets his dojinshi printed. She is hardworking and looks after the business when her parents go out of town, but she is clumsy and scatterbrained and sometimes makes mistakes with the printing process. She is often seen chasing a runaway cart. In the first anime, she's a junior student at Kazuki's school.

* [[Dojikko]]
 
==Reiko Haga==
Line 51 ⟶ 57:
*Akiko Muta (Japanese), Sara Van Buskirk (CP English), Laurie Gallardo (CPR English)
Cosplay enthusiast and promoter. Her cosplay circle is named "Team Ikkatsu". In the manga, she teaches Mizuki about the nuances of [[cosplay]].

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Reiko include:}}
* [[Drag King]]: ''Only'' while cosplaying, and only if she loves the character.
* [[Official Cosplay Gear]]: ''Thoroughly'' [[averted]]; Team Ikkatsu makes their outfits at home.
 
==Asahi Sakurai==
Line 59 ⟶ 68:
 
Asahi's role in the first ''Comic Party'' anime adaption is limited since she does not interact with the main protagonist. Instead, she is only heard on the radio and briefly seen singing at a concert.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Asahi include:}}
* [[Clark Kenting]]: When out in public, she adds glasses and a hat to her outfit, and is much more timid than when she's on stage. It fools Minami and other people who aren't familiar with her, but Taishi and other members of her fan club see right through it.
 
==Subaru Mikage==
Line 64 ⟶ 76:
*[[Masayo Kurata]] (Japanese), Jenny Larson (CPR English)
Miko fighter obsessed with [[Sentai|hero stories]], but terrible at creating dojinshi. Her group is "Sin-jyusyokakutei." She is not featured in the original game and anime series, appearing in ''Comic Party Revolution''.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Subaru include:}}
<br clear="all" />
* [[The Ditz]]: Can't tell a coherent story, draws at a grade-school skill level, but still thinks she creates good doujinshi. Also, when she helped Chisa run Tsukamoto Printing while Chisa's father was in the hospital, Subaru nearly ran the business into the ground.
* [[You! Get Me Coffee!]]: She's on the receiving end of this from clients of Tsukamoto Printing during her short stint there. She complains - twice - that she's not an errand girl.
 
==Ikumi Tachikawa==
Line 70 ⟶ 84:
*[[Kimiko Koyama]] (Japanese), [[Kerry Grant]] (CP English), [[Cynthia Martinez]] (CPR English)
A sickly girl, Kazuki's fan and first customer. Ikumi has spent most of her life in the hospital. She has an older, very muscular, brother named Yuuzo in ''Comic Party Revolution.''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Ikumi include:}}
* [[Ill Girl]]: mentioned in the first anime series, and [[Flanderized]] to be her primary character attribute in ''Revolution''.
<br clear="all" />
 
Line 79 ⟶ 96:
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Taishi include:}}
* [[Large Ham]]: Constantly.
** He habitually calls Sendo "My Brother", Mizuki "My Sister", and everyone else "Comrade", in [[Gratuitous English]] and with emphasis, no matter how many times he's been kicked out of the conversation (or the room) by the people he's addressing. Yes, you can hear the capital letters.
** Losing an easily-replaceable convention dealer's pass is [[The End of the World as We Know It]] as far as Taishi is concerned.
** He routinely makes speeches while standing on the roof of the Tokyo Big Sight.
 
==Miho Hoshino, Mayu Yumeji, and Yuka Tsukishiro==
Line 85 ⟶ 105:
*Mayu: [[Mie Sonozaki]] (Japanese), [[Megan Rawa]] (CP English), [[Jessica Boone]] (CPR English)
*Yuka: [[Asako Dodo]] (Japanese), [[Carol Jacobanis]] (CP English)
Three members of "Team Ikkatsu", Reiko's [[cosplay]] fanclub. Their family names are given in the Japanese credits.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Miho, Mayu and Yuka include:}}
* [[Large Ham]]: When discussing cosplay, Miho can reach the same levels of scenery-chewing that Taishi reaches on a regular basis. Amazingly, when Miho was in Large Ham mode in Taishi's presence, [[Ham-to-Ham Combat]] was averted... which implies that the usual level of ham for both of them is their maximum level of ham.
* [[Meganekko]]: Yuka.
* [[Official Cosplay Gear]]: ''Thoroughly'' [[averted]]; Team Ikkatsu makes their outfits at home.
* [[Those Two Guys|Those Three Girls]]
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: All three of them.
