Line 1:
{{work}}
While the anime reminded the viewers "you don't really need to remember the characters' names or anything," [[All The Tropes:This Troper|we tropers]] [[
''(Note: Unless otherwise stated, all boys in this series attend Sanada North Prefectural High School, an [[One-Gender School|all-boys' school]].)''
-----
== The Main
=== Tadakuni ===
[[File:tadakuni1_2805.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|"My name is Tadakuni. I live a normal life, attending a normal school, in a normal town."}}
Line 26:
* [[Straight Man]]
=== Hidenori Tabata ===
[[File:hidenori1_3956.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|"That's it, Tadakuni! Run! Run, Tadakuni! Leave behind your [[Tsundere]] [[Patient Childhood Love Interest|childhood friend!]] Throw out your little sister who's [[Not Blood Related|unrelated by blood!]] Run past that [[Mysterious Waif|beautiful, mysterious]] [[New Transfer Student|transfer student]] until she fades into the distance! Hold on to that hand, and just, just... '''keep running!'''"}}
Line 46:
* [[Second Year Protagonist]]
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Subverted as he just ''looks'' stoic. {{spoiler|And he doesn't need them for vision purposes either.}}
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: At least once. In Episode 1's intro, he believed [[Square Enix]] and [[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]'s involvement in [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|their show]] would suddenly infuse it with [[Mobile Suit Gundam|mecha]] and/or [[Dragon Quest|RPG]] elements. [[Chekhov's Gag|And in a way, he's right]] -- in ''High School Boys and Indoor Adventure'' the trio took to roleplaying after playing [[Dragon Quest]], and he is the most excited about it, impersonating various stock RPG characters.
=== Yoshitake Tanaka ===
[[File:yoshitake_3913.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|"A friend is... [[All Men Are Perverts|someone who walks with them even if they follow a different path]]! Someone who can bear the burden of their [[Panty Thief|sins]]! Isn't that what it means to be a [[True Companions|true friend]]!?"}}
Line 60:
* [[The Comically Serious]]: ''High School Boys and Annoyances'' shows more than a few examples of this.
* {{spoiler|[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He was the legendary [[Bully Hunter]] "Rubber Shooter", and came out of the brawl with the "Archdemon" relatively fine.}}
* [[Dye Hard]]: {{spoiler|When he was younger, he had brown hair, which is why Hidenori doesn't recognize him as Rubber Shooter at first.}}
* [[Hidden Eyes]]: A running visual gag.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: [[Fate/stay night|Gilgamesh]], on account of his blonde, slicked-back hair.
Line 72:
== Sanada North High Student Council ==
=== Student Council President ===
[[File:DanshiPres_4705.png|frame]]
The handsome President of Sanada North High's Student Council, who does little actual work and is often absent from the Student Council room.
Line 89:
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Parodied in his fight with Ringo. He says he doesn't hit girls... ''after'' he misses a punch and gets locked in a chokehold.
=== Student Council Vice-President ===
[[File:DanshiViceRep_5298.png|frame]]
The Vice-President of the Student Council. Despite his scary appearance, he's well-mannered and polite.
Line 106:
* [[Younger Than He Looks]]: Seriously, does he look like he's only seventeen? Ringo even once thought he was 28.
=== Motoharu the Delinquent ===
[[File:DanshiMotoharu_7919.png|frame]]
Tadakuni's classmate and a member of the Student Council. Despite his notoriety as a delinquent, he only really looks the part.
Line 122:
* [[Second Year Protagonist]]
=== Toshiyuki Karasawa ===
[[File:DanshiKarasawa_5312.png|frame]]
A quiet, stoic member of the Student Council who's always seen wearing a hat.
Line 150:
== Other High School Boys ==
=== Mitsuo ===
[[File:DanshiMitsuo_6346.png|frame]]
A classmate of the main characters. He's also the biggest loser in class.
Line 165:
* [[The Trickster]]: His "killer shots" in ''High School Boys and Killer Shots'' all amounted to [[playing Dirty]].
=== Takahiro Matsumoto ===
[[File:DLoHSB_Takahiro_9501.jpg|frame]]
A student from Sanada West High and a classmate of the Literature Girl, who lives across the street from Karasawa and Habara.
Line 176:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Along with his unnamed friend.
=== Takahiro's Friend ===
[[File:DanshiMitsuoFriend_9706.png|frame]]
A student from Sanada West High who hangs around with Takahiro.
Line 189:
== ''High School Girls Are Funky''
=== Habara{{spoiler|1=/Archdemon}} ===
[[File:DanshiHabara_9820.png|frame]]
A girl from Sanada West High who lives next to Karasawa. Like her [[Distaff Counterpart]] Tadakuni, Yanagin and Ikushima frequently hangs out at her house. {{spoiler|Eight years ago, however, she was the "Archdemon," the [[The Bully|most dreaded kid in town]]. After a joint effort to "pacify" her by other kids, amongst which were Yanagin and "Rubber Shooter", she has completely changed for the good.}}
Line 225:
* {{spoiler|[[Tears of Remorse]]: [[Played for Laughs]] -- frequently cries these whenever other people bring up her past as the "Archdemon".}}
=== Yanagin ===
[[File:DanshiYanagin_3434.png|frame]]
Habara's oddball friend from Sanada Central High, who, like her [[Distaff Counterpart]] Hidenori, often has something to say (translate: scream) about high school boys.
Line 254:
* [[Unknown Rival]]: To NAGO.
=== Ikushima ===
[[File:DanshiIkushima_9312.png|frame]]
Habara's other friend from Sanada East High, who always goes along with whatever Yanagin's up to.
Line 272:
== Other High School Girls ==
=== Literature Girl/"Yassan" ===
[[File:DanshiBungaku_2852.png|frame]]
{{quote|"''She's probably hoping for an unrealistically romantic "[[Boy Meets Girl]]" encounter...! Can her mind shake off gravity or what? See, she's already got a distant look in her eyes. I can already tell that her romantic maiden gauge is reading full!''"
(Hidenori's [[Internal Monologue]], ''High School Boy and the Literature Girl 3'') }}
A girl from Sanada West High who wrote a [[Romance Novel]] about [[Boy Meets Girl|an encounter]] between a girl and a geeky, solitary boy [[Blow You Away|who can control wind]], and ''then'' tried to reenact it in the series' [[Real Life]]. [[Hilarity Ensues]], especially when she projects the "boy" to Hidenori, who is [[Genre Savvy|well-aware]] of what she's trying to invoke...
----
* [[Adorkable]]: Trying to reenact her own novel by sitting beside a boy (who happened to be Hidenori) on the [[Artificial Riverbank]]? Check.
Line 302:
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Chased Hidenori in Episode 10 to clear up any misunderstanding caused by him seeing her walking with Takahiro.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: "Literature Girl" is how the ''author and the viewers'' call her. In-Universe she's only known as "Yassan."
** A strange note: Some
* [[The Quiet One]]: Only when she's with Hidenori; she just uttered 2 lines in the 5 skits involving Hidenori. She is more talkative with her classmates like Takahiro.
* [[Sailor Fuku]]
* [[Strange Girl]]: This is how Hidenori sees her.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Bonus points, too, for being voiced by [[Youko Hikasa]].
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]
* [[Thinks Like a Romance Novel]]: When she's around Hidenori on that riverbank, she goes full into this mode. Too bad she's also...
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: She doesn't seem to realize that she's in a comedy series, and thus all her attempts to invoke romantic love tropes end up backfiring and humiliating her, most of the time.
* [[Yandere]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. For an example, just ask the "Overly Self-Conscious Girl" -- the latter received her [[Death Glare]] just because ''Hidenori'' happened to sit next to the latter on the [[Artificial Riverbank]].
=== "Ringo" ===
[[File:DanshiRingo_9329.png|frame]]
[[Student Council President]] of the all-girls Sanada East High, who's determined to prove the superiority of girls over boys.
Line 335:
* [[Tsundere]]: Type B -- she actually gets along fine with other people, like the members of the Sanada North student council, but she reacts violently to the antics of their pretty-boy Student Council President.

{{quote|"Shut up! If you don't die right now, I'll kill you! If you don't wanna get killed, then die!"}}
Line 349:
{{quote|'''Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake, [[Speak in Unison|in unison]]:''' "[[Lampshade Hanging|Just what IS she?]]"}}
=== Mino ===
[[File:DanshiMotoharuOnee_2137.png|frame]]
{{quote|"It's pretty rare, what we have. Not many siblings get along, you know?"}}
Line 366:
* [[The Trickster]]: Motoharu thinks this is why she's a bit more distant with others. [[Informed Attribute|Not that viewers can see that.]]
=== Yoshitake's Older Sister ===
[[File:DanshiYoshitakeOnee_6770.png|frame]]
{{quote|"Did you know? Most entertainers get plastic surgery."}}
Line 386:
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Performs a particularly brutal Release German Suplex on Tadakuni.
=== Nago (奈古) ===
[[File:DanshiNago_8459.png|frame]]
{{quote|"These guys are pissing me off."}}
Line 404:
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]
=== NAGO (名護) ===
[[File:DanshiNagoCute_9848.png|frame]]
Yanagin's "rival" at Sanada Central High. Her relation to ''that'' Nago, if there is any, is unknown.
----
* [[The Ace]]: Outdoes Yanagin in academics, martial arts ''and'' eating.
Line 420 ⟶ 421:
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
=== Yanagin's Sempai ===
[[File:DanshiYanagiSempai_9284.png|frame]]
[[Student Council President]] of Sanada Central High, who mentors Yanagin, Habara and Ikushima on how to be "better" high school girls. Apparently has a past with Karasawa as well.
Line 437 ⟶ 438:
* [[Tsurime Eyyes]]
=== Overly Self-Conscious Girl ===
[[File:DanshiExcitable_7189.png|frame]]
A student at Sanada Central High who gets bothered by every little thing that happens around her.
Line 454 ⟶ 455:
== Other Characters ==
=== Yuusuke Tabata ===
[[File:DanshiHidenoriOnii_2972.png|frame]]
Hidenori's older brother and a college freshman.
Line 465 ⟶ 466:
* [[Not So Different]]: He's as perverted (see "[[All Men Are Perverts]]") and sees Yoshitake's older sister's [[Berserk Button]] with contempt as the main trio. It also helps that he used to be the ringleader of their group before he left for college.
=== Rubber Shooter{{spoiler|/Yoshitake}} ===
[[File:DLoHSB_RubberShooter_9323.jpg|frame]]
A mysterious kid whose true identity remains unknown. He saved Hidenori from bullies when he was young--and continued to be Hidenori's role model. {{spoiler|He was also part of the team that "pacified" Habara.}}
Line 477 ⟶ 478:
* [[Leitmotif]]: [[Pachelbel's Canon]]
=== Emi ===
