Line 157:
* [[Precious Puppies]]: The other reason for Menchi/Mince's presence.

=== Tooru Watanabe ===
==== Voiced by: [[Ryotaro Okiayu]] (JP), Jay Hickman (EN) ====▼
[[File:Watanabe_Face_3552.jpg|frame]]
The first neighbor introduced and the only one who actually lives next door to Excel and Hyatt.
Line 168 ⟶ 167:
Suffers a [[Freak-Out]] in the manga when {{spoiler|after getting amnesia and living with Watanabe for a while, Hyatt leaves Watanabe when Il Palazzo restores her memory}}. Watanabe's normal complaining personality disappears, but he starts spending all his free time playing S&M video games and acting really creepy.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: At least Matsuya seems to believe that Dr. Kabapu did something unconventional to lift him from his depression, and that his creepy attitude is because of this. Kabapu refuses to either admit or deny the accusation.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Hyatt's [[Comedic Sociopathy]] combined with his friends antics slowly turn Watanabe into perverted wreck.
Line 183 ⟶ 182:
=== Norikuni Iwata ===
==== Voiced by: [[Showtaro Morikubo]] (JP), Mark Laskowski (EN) ====▼
[[File:Iwata_Face_2_6277.jpg|frame]]
Watanabe's "friend". Iwata is dumb as a brick and barrels into everything with enthusiasm and not a lot of forethought. Iwata is either oblivious or does not care that Watanabe hates him, and hangs out in his apartment regardless. He joined the Department of City Security because Watanabe did. As a member of Daitenzin Iwata is usually the first to run into a mission and mess everything up.
Line 191 ⟶ 190:
He will hit on any attractive lady in the area (except, oddly enough, the girls of ACROSS), but usually focuses his attention on Matsuya, whom he knew in college.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Iwata is prone to daydreaming that he is in a television show, or going off on pointless mental tangents.
Line 208 ⟶ 207:
Sumiyoshi is from a different part of Japan, and as such speaks with an accent, which in the anime is rendered as subtitles, and in the manga is written in a different font and with an accent. His father and younger sister speak with the same accent.
Has a strange
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[British Accents]]: The English manga translates his dialect as being Geordie, which is from Northern England.
* [[Collector of the Strange]]: His apartment is filled with nothing but computers to house his collection of dating sims and other video games.
Line 224 ⟶ 223:
=== Misaki Matsuya ===
==== Voiced by: [[Yuka Imai]] (JP), [[Tiffany Grant]] (EN) ====▼
[[File:Misaki_Matsuya_Face_7252.jpg|frame]]
Arguably the most normal and reasonable person in the cast, Ms. Matsuya began to work for Kabapu around the same time as the others.
Line 234 ⟶ 233:
She does not appreciate Iwata constantly hitting on her, but has gotten used to it, and devotes considerable effort to coming up with ways to rebuke him.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: While many characters demonstrate this tendency none do as strongly as Matsuya, who manages to send Iwata and Watanabe to fits of spastic laughter with a single well-aimed line. She seems to do this deliberately, contrasting her serious exterior.
Line 245 ⟶ 244:
* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]
* [[Tsundere]]: Actually played semi-straight with <s>Misaki</s> Matsuya in the manga, even lampshaded on one of the illustrations in a volume.
