The female protagonist and {{spoiler|former}} [[Student Council President]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Feared as one tough S.O.B. during middle school but is also a really [[Nice Girl]].

* [[Beauty Mark]]: That Shinagawa didn't notice that she and the girl he loves have the same one right at the same place is amazing. Or maybe he did, but not consciously. That would explain ''[[Epileptic Tree|a lot]]''.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Thanks to [[No Social Skills]] and extreme ditzyness.

* [[Covert Pervert]]: When looking for a male student with a mole in his chest, she was extremely quick and eager to open the shirts of Shinagawa, Izumi, and Chiba. It's even lampshaded:

* [[Delinquent]]: She was this in junior high.

* [[The Ditz]]: Adachi Hana can be described as a Ditz at best and an idiot at worst, despite what she looks like.

* [[Extracurricular Enthusiast]]: Provides the page picture.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Idiot Hair]]

* [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: She wears glasses (and braided pigtails) only to appear more bookish, while actually having perfect eyesight. It goes so far as swimming ''with the glasses on''.

* [[Student Council President]]

* [[Too Dumb to Fool]]

Our male protagonist and {{spoiler|former}} Student Council Co-Vice President.

* [[Badass Normal]]

** {{spoiler|[[Badass Teacher]]}}

* [[Captain Oblivious]]: Completely unable to recognize Hana as the girl he fell in love with at the entry exam ''and'' the one who {{spoiler|gave him his scar}}.

* [[Delinquent]]: The titular "Yankee-kun".

* {{spoiler|[[Genius Bruiser]]: see the [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] entry below.}}

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Subverted in his backstory. {{spoiler|It's revealed that he was formerly one of the top two students at Japan's top Junior High}}.

** {{spoiler|And the subversion continues as Shinagawa gets into Japan's top university.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Manly Tears]]: Chapter 209, his graduation speech}}

** Also results in everyone else {{spoiler|crying.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Megane]]: In middle school. And of the studious variety. It serves as explanation toward how he was even eligible for Monshiro High in the first place}}.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: It's implied that Shinagawa was actually a brilliant student in the Bonus strip. In [[Flash Back|chapters 150 and 151]], {{spoiler|these implications are more or less confirmed when his backstory is explored. Before he became a delinquent in junior high, he was one of the top students at his school, complete with natural-colored hair and glasses. And not just any junior high, but the top school in the ''country''}}.

* [[Tsundere]]: Interesting in that he relatively quickly admits that he is fond of Hana and the Student Council.

Student Council Treasurer. Used to be a major [[Hikikomori]] before Shinagawa and Adachi convinced him to come back to school to keep his grades up. Since then he stayed with them and is grateful that they consider him a friend. Although he's often thought to be a delinquent because of his eyes he's actually just a very shy young man that wants to make some ordinary friends.

* [[Covert Pervert]]: Most of the time he's the [[Straight Man]], until you bait him with series of big boobs. Happens again with the [[Hot Springs Episode|Hot Spring]] scene.

* [[Face of a Thug]]: His normal expression apparently looks like an angry glare to most people, who naturally assume him to be a [[Delinquent]].

* [[Hikikomori]]

* [[Only Sane Man]]

* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Complete with long hair!

 

[[File:82330_3728.jpg|frame]]

* [[Chickification]]: She was introduced as Adachi's former right-hand-woman, who had a fairly strong reputation as a fighter. By Chapter 55, she doesn't even seem capable of taking on a couple of [[Mooks]]. She gets more and more girly; always cleaning some mess with her broom, interested in makeup and clothes and generally coming as the weakest member of the gang, even behind Chiba, since nobody is taking her seriously. Jokingly acknowledged in chapter 119 when she attempts to invoke an [[Expository Hairstyle Change]].

* [[Delinquent]]

* [[Informed Ability]]: Despite her position and nickname, she's never actually seen fighting.

* [[Large Ham]]: Though she quiets down after a few chapters.

* [[Moe]]: In-universe. She seems to have a [[Dojikko]] reputation. Her small size does not help either. She even got a chapter cover as a clumsy [[Meido]].

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Grade B

 

[[File:105981_9315.jpg|frame]]

* [[Badass Bookworm]]

* [[Jack of All Stats]]: No matter how hard he tries he's always second to Chiba in grade and Hana in strength.

* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: ''Anything'' he writes.

 

One year older than the main cast, Akita is the former president of the Student Council. He's usually an easygoing, peaceful and laid back person. Just never ever call him a [[Berserk Button|girl]], or simply [[Twisting the Words|say the word when he's around]].

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Would attack ''anyone'' in berserk mode, {{spoiler|save for Hana}}.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Being called a girl. [[Twisting the Words|Or believing someone called him a girl]].

* [[The Dreaded]]: For Shinagawa and Izumi. He's probably the sole person they're genuinely scared of.

** {{spoiler|Which sucks for Izumi, who had been determined to fight the boyfriend of the girl he was crushing on, only to find out it was Akita. And it also sucks for Shinagawa, because the person Akita is dating is ''his'' sister.}}

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: However, when you push his [[Berserk Button]]...

* [[Groin Attack]]: The usual way to put him back to his normal self. Has to be performed by a girl to actually work. Hmmm...

* [[Iconic Item]]: Akita is rarely seen without a fan (he actually collects them). [[Oh Crap|When he drops it]], you'd better flee.

* [[Nice Guy]]: Akita is the nicest guy in the world most of the time.

* [[Not a Morning Person]]: He was so often late at school that it almost made him double his 3rd year.

* [[Slasher Smile]]: When you pushed his [[Berserk Button]].

* [[Student Council President]]: Before Hana.

* [[Twisting the Words]]: More than once, he went berserk while the conversation was really about a girl and not at all about him.
