Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
{{quote box|[[File:Koegoto_Kanna_3755.png|frame]]}}▼
Your typical protagonist - a naive 16 year-old high school girl with a bit of an inferiority complex. Average grades, member of the track team, somewhat shy, neither particularly popular nor disliked by her classmates. Never dated a boy or engaged in any inappropriate behavior in her life. That is, until her sister ropes her into working in her eroge company as their new seiyuu. Reluctant at first, Kanna agrees to give it a try after a little emotional extortion. Much to her shock, she discovers she has a natural talent for erotic voice acting, which is further fueled by her embarrassment, lack of experience and overactive imagination. She resigns herself to pursuing a career in voice acting and always giving her best, no matter how unreasonable her co-workers demands get.
* [[Breast Sponge]]: Does this to Motoki in chapter 32. ''With a'' ''[[Modesty Towel]]'' ''on''.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: According to her sister. Considering Kanna had no clue about... well, [[The Talk|anything]], it might have been more a case of [[Bile Fascination]] at first, until she discovers her ability to go into eroge-mode, which has slowly been affecting her personality. She doesn't talk about it out of embarrassment, but pretty much everyone at the company knows just how much she's interested in lewd things.
* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]]: Perhaps one of the weirdest examples ever.
* [[A Date
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Try as she might, Kanna can't perform ero scenes without being embarrassed into a state of trance. Luckily, her sister knows exactly how to trip her up to get the effect every time.
* [[Erotic Eating]]:
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Expy]]:
** While their looks and personalities are a little different, in terms of their situations Kanna can be seen as an expy of Osono, the main character from the first story in Konno Azure's ''Puberty Crazies''. Osono is the [[Only Sane Man]] to her two perverted best friends and is often outraged and incredibly embarrassed by the things happening around her. In the end though, she is revealed to be a [[Covert Pervert]] who may enjoy sex even more than her two friends, she just has a lot more common sense and morals. Osono was also the first character that Kanna was able to {{spoiler|perfectly synchronize with}}, which suggests they may be more similar than it first seems.
** She also strongly resembles [[Hayate the Combat Butler
* [[Freudian Slip]]:
** Calls Nagatoshi "master" after spending a little too long roleplaying as a [[Meido]].
** While singing an eroge theme in front of a crowd at Comika, she forgets she was supposed to censor a certain word, spawning an in-universe example of [[Memetic Mutation]].
* [[He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Repeatedly denies that there is anything between her and Motoki.
* [[Hey,
* [[High
* [[I Am Not Pretty]]: Likely due to comparing herself to eroge heroines.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Kanna sometimes lapses into this, since her special skill doesn't go very well with her [[Shrinking Violet|shy personality]], even saying she wants to be "cured" of it in chapter 28.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
** In chapter 30 she gave one to the staff during recording. If Motoki hadn't stopped her from doing it with him, they would have seen [[Rape Is Love|mo]][[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male|re]].
** There's two ''assisted'' panty shots in chapter 31 - first Hadzuki flips Kanna's skirt to see what kind of underwear she had on and then she and Kotori both do it ''in front of Motoki'' to show off the new string panties they made her buy, promising him more service in the future.
* [[Paper
* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Kanna's power really ''doesn't have'' any other uses.
* [[Sacred First Kiss]]: Major source of angst for Kanna, who actually initiated it while in her [[Not Herself|trance]] [[Kissing Under the Influence|state]].
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Slave Collar]]: Not seen it the story yet, but one chapter's cover has her with this [[media:Koe-de-Oshigoto_c28_01_6950.jpg|along with dog ears and a tail.]]
* [[Spit Take]]: All the time, even when she [[Exaggerated Trope|isn't drinking anything]].
* [[Super
* [[Tempting Fate]]: "It's not like I'll be doing some outrageously strange job, right?"
* [[Training
* [[Twice Shy]]: She and Motoki are this under normal circumstances.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Sometimes someone comments on Kanna's bizarre eroge trance, but most people adjust unusually quickly to the fact that Kanna can ''make herself orgasm with her imagination alone''. Made doubly weird because she does this, more or less, in public.
* [[Virgin Power]]: Kanna is a complete virgin who knows little to nothing about sex, let alone [[H-game|eroge]]. Combined with an [[Power Perversion Potential|incredibly powerful imagination]] however, she delivers incredibly high-impact performances ''every single time''.
{{quote box|[[File:Koegoto_Yayoi_8760.png|frame]]}}▼
Kanna's older sister and founder of the eroge production company Blue March. Started the company after their father's death out of necessity and to ensure Kanna would get a better chance for a good future. Since then she has settled nicely in the role of an eroge director. Can seem somewhat cold and ruthless at times and has little patience for whining. Nevertheless, she cares for her little sister very much, even if her determination to make her into a great seiyuu ''at all costs'' makes that hard to see sometimes.
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: Reveals a couple of choice anecdotes about Kanna to her new co-workers.
* [[Beat the Curse Out of Him]]: While she wasn't exactly possessed, at one point Yayoi had to slap Kanna quite hard to snap her out of her ero trance.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Mentioning the [[Old Shame|one and only time]] Yayoi contributed to a game as a seiyuu provokes an [[Not So Stoic|uncharacteristically]] [[Precision F
* [[Big Brother Mentor|Big Sister Mentor]]: She is teaching her sister Kanna important skills for getting along in a job that she seems to increasingly enjoy. Subverted, since the job in question is voice acting in porn, and Kanna is a few years too young for this to be proper or ''legal'', a fact that comes up once in a while.
* [[Blue Eyes]]
Line 71:
** In Kanna's case she could barely wait for her to turn 16.
** In Hadzuki's and Kotori's cases there really wasn't anything to corrupt, she just gave them the opportunity. Seriously, that kind of enthusiasm for this kind of job is not normal.
* [[Hey,
* [[Not So Above It All]]: As revealed in a [[Flash Back]], Yayoi used to be just as embarrassed about working on H-games as Kanna, if not more.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: To Kanna, ever since their father died and their mother was forced to take extra work to support them. This contributes to Kanna's decision to help her sister out and become an eroge seiyuu.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Keeps a very straight face while suggesting some very questionable methods of educating her little sister, and manages to even muster support from her co-workers. On at least two occasions this involved suggesting that Kanna perform or watch ''real life sex acts,'' on or with her co-workers, to be able to act it better. This is a girl who is not even legally old enough to work in the eroge business.
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Gets these briefly during moments of smugness or when trying to intimidate someone, usually accompanied by a menacing aura in the latter case.
* [[Sibling Yin
{{quote box|[[File:Koegoto_Fumika_305.png|frame]]}}▼
A young pro seiyuu and Blue March's main voice provider before Kanna came along. Agreed to watch over her and teach her everything she could about the business. A kind and supportive mentor, she usually tries to stick up for Kanna when things get too out of hand and graciously accepts the fact that, in many way, she is outclassed by the newbie she is supposed to be training. The one thing she is very self-conscious about is the fact she still hasn't had her first kiss at age 21. Has a cat and dog-like relationship with her perverted superior and former voice acting coach Shigekazu Sakanami.
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Type 3 - Fumika is none too pleased with her rather ample chest and views it as little more than a burden, possibly leaning slightly towards Type 2. The likely reason is that so far her breasts have done nothing to help her get a boyfriend.
* [[Bleached Underpants]]: In-universe example - Fumika started as an eroge seiyuu, but now her main work is in (non-[[Hentai]]) anime. She still continues to voice eroge under an assumed name for old time's sake and to show her gratitude to Yayoi for giving her a chance.
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Occasionally plays this with Sakanami (Fumika is the Tsukkomi), usually ending with a punch to the face, though Sakanami has actually won an argument at least once using his exceedingly perverted logic.
Line 95 ⟶ 94:
* [[The Obi Wrong]]: Starts out as Kanna's mentor figure, but since then has been out-moed by her at every turn, and now seems to be losing her skills and needs further training just to continue being useful to the company. It was actually lampshaded that [[Justified Trope|veteran eroge voice actors tend to get accustomed to what they're doing and lose the effectiveness some innocence and shyness can give to their roles.]]
* [[Only Sane Man]]: On occasion.
* [[Precision F
* [[Sempai
* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Sakanami, though he gives her [[Jerk
* [[Virgin Power]]: Though she makes use of it to give a better performance, Fumika is ''not'' happy about her lack of hands-on experience.
{{quote box|[[File:Koegoto_Nagatoshi_4447.png|frame]]}}▼
The other co-founder of Blue March and the person who first suggested the idea to Yayoi. Grew up with her and has known Kanna since birth, becoming her big brother figure and comforting her after the death of their father. Both of them consider him family, Kanna even referring to him as [[Japanese Sibling Terminology|onii-chan]]. A fanatic [[Bookworm|bibliophile]] ever since he was little, he eventually became obsessed with reading, and later writing, erotica, which led to his involvement in the eroge business as a script writer. Yayoi picked him to be Kanna's initial practice partner, since Kanna has a minor crush on him.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Nagatoshi is the resident writer of Blue March. He has little personality and when he's not giving exposition on eroge, he generally spends most of the time off-screen doing research and working on the next script. He also came up with almost the exact same scenario for a game as the actual author's previous work, right down to the heavy emphasis on *ahem* [[Technical Virgin|technical virginity]].
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Nagatoshi raised Kanna along with her sister, and that closeness is probably why he was the only person Kanna could properly work with, but as busy as he is, she had to get familiar with Motoki.
* [[Bookworm]]: According to Yayoi, he has read over a thousand books since elementary school, until [[Start of Darkness|he came across erotic books]]. From there, he started to write his own erotic books.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Even Yayoi finds him somewhat weird and that is saying something.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Fits this, considering he's been reading and writing porn for years without Kanna finding out.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Much like Yayoi, he has a thing for saying really awkward things without a second thought, like the full lecture he gave Kanna about anal sex ''with everyone else present''. It ends with everyone suspecting he did it with Yayoi.
[[File:Koegoto_Hadzuki_Kotori_2010.jpg|frame|Kotori (left) and Hadzuki (right)]]
▲=== Hadzuki Nouge and Kotori Makino ===
▲==== Voice Actors: Juri Nagatsuma (Hadzuki) and Maina Shimagata (Kotori) ====
Kanna's classmates and friends since elementary school - a busty, somewhat airheaded girl from Kyoto and a quiet deadpan loli, who likes video games. Always seen together. Started as [[Those Two Guys]], but got upgraded to full-fledged supporting characters after they discovered Kanna's secret and Yayoi offered them a chance to work as seiyuus on a whim. While they lack Kanna's experience and natural talent, they more than make up for it in sheer enthusiasm.
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Type 5 - Hadzuki never noticed boys [[My Eyes Are Up Here|weren't looking at her face]] until she was explicitly told so by Kotori.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Hadzuki.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Kotori, in every [[Reaction Shot]] she's in. Half the time she's even drawn without a mouth.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Kotori again. The only thing that seems to inspire a reaction from her are games and, by extension, voice acting for games.
* [[Expies]]: Their looks and personalities are ''very'' similar to the two supporting characters from Konno Azure's ''Puberty Crazies''. Made more obvious after they get involved with Blue March and start acting more like genuine hentai characters.
* [[First
* [[Foil]]: Both of them to Kanna and Motoki. They have no concept of tact and will frequently tease and embarrass them for the hell of it, even more so than Yayoi.
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Kotori, but not [[H-game|H-games]]... yet anyway. That is to say, she doesn't play them, she just helps make them.
Line 139 ⟶ 135:
* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: Though not exactly perpetual, around 90% of the time Hadzuki has a big open-mouth smile on her face, often for no apparent reason.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Kotori. As her character profile puts it - "[[Laconic|A person of few words that occasionally hit hard.]]"
* [[The Rival|The Rivals]]: They progress several times faster than Kanna with their training, by virtue of having no self-restraint whatsoever. While a lot more well-meaning than most examples, they don't seem to realize they're crushing what little confidence Kanna has mustered. [[The Tease|Casually flirting with and sexually harassing]] her [[Love Interest]] doesn't help either. On the flip side it improves Kanna's [[Green
* [[Sempai
{{quote box|[[File:Koegoto_Motoki_1287.png|frame]]}}▼
Another one of Kanna's classmates, though she doesn't know much about him at first. He is actually in a very similar situation, having been recruited in his father's eroge company at an even younger age. He quickly recognises Kanna's voice from the first game she was in and confronts her about it. During a collaboration between the two companies, he is picked to be her practice partner - an arrangement that takes quite a bit of getting used to. Very intelligent, exceedingly polite and knowledgeable about the eroge business. He does everything he can to ease Kanna's embarrassment and help her out in her struggle.
* [[Cross Dressing Voice]]
* [[Expy]]: If Kanna resembles [[Tsukihime|Hisui]], then Motoki resembles [[Tsukihime|Shiki Nanaya]].
Line 158 ⟶ 153:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Not that anybody listens to his protests.
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Though every named character is already in on it by now.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Has this reaction to the suggestion that he and Kanna are dating. For added points, Kanna says the exact same thing simultaneously, with a joint [[Speech Bubble]], no less.
* [[Spit Take]]: Аll the time, even when he [[Exaggerated Trope|isn't drinking anything]].
* [[The Stoic]]: Since he was exposed to the eroge industry at a young age, Motoki made it a point to always act as professionally as possible, making him appear dull and reserved to others. Of course, maintaining such a facade is nearly impossible with Kanna and company around.
* [[Thanks for
* [[Twice Shy]]: He and Kanna are this under normal circumstances.
[[File:Koegoto_Natsumi_Fuyumi_Yokoyama_4282.jpg|frame| Natsumi (left), Fuyumi (center) and Yokoyama (right)]]
▲=== Harie Natsumi, Hirobe Fuyumi and Yukihira Yokoyama ===
▲==== Voice Actors: [[Takahiro Mizushima]] (Yokoyama), Masami Suzuki (Natsumi) and Fumi Morisawa (Fuyumi) ====
The Blue March trio of artists - Natsumi and Fuyumi are in charge of character designs, while Yokoyama does backgrounds. Natsumi and Fuyumi formed a doujinshi circle while in university and got noticed by Yayoi and Nagatoshi at an event. Yokoyama on the other hand is a classically trained landscape painter, having graduated from an art college and applied for the job not knowing the company produced eroge.
* [[A Day in
* [[Author Avatar]]: Natsumi has shades of this, being the most prominent artist in the story and absolutely obsessed with erotic things, especially when it involves schoolgirls. Also there's her infamous opinion on censorship.
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Routinely executed by Natsumi and Fuyumi, including the [[Paper Fan of Doom]].
Line 182 ⟶ 174:
* [[Meganekko]]: Fuyumi.
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Fuyumi tends to pull one [[Hammerspace|out of nowhere]] and smack Natsumi upside the head when she gets a little too excited.
* [[Shipper
* [[Shotacon]]: Fuyumi's favorite genre, though she tries to keep it a secret.
▲=== Shigekazu Sakanami ===
▲==== Voice Actor: [[Masaya Onosaka]] ====
A veteran seiyuu with a career in anime. Senior member of Fumika's agency as well as her former teacher. Frequently employed by Blue March because of his experience and talents. Acts incredibly perverted and [[Large Ham|hammy]] most of the time. Harasses every pretty girl he meets, ''except'' for Fumika, because he doesn't find her attractive, or so he claims (he ''did'' harassed her when they first met). Hilarity is all but guaranteed to ensue in any scene he's in.
* [[Bleached Underpants]]: In-universe example, same as Fumika.
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: See Fumika's entry.
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: While this can be applied for many of the characters, he has no filter between his brain and mouth whatsoever.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "[Insert something lewd about voice acting] makes my dick hard!"
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Considers sexual harassment to be the ultimate compliment, but will never touch a woman unless she wanted him to.
{{quote|
* [[Compensating for Something]]: His screen name is Umanami, which means "[[Biggus Dickus|horse-like]]".
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: He's the oldest male character and so far limits his harassment to underage schoolgirls.
* [[Hot
* [[Jerk
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Punched Across the Room]]: By Fumika in Episode 2 of the anime.
* [[Serious Business]]: Everyone treats eroge voice acting seriously, but Sakanami shows the most passion about it. He gives Hadzuki and Kotori a few pages worth of exposition on fellatio.
