The plot is based on a teenager, Hachibe Maeda, who idolizes individual parts of
women. When he moves to Tokyo to attend high school, he finds himself living in
a shed near a girls’ dormitory, which has ladies that possess one of the ideal
physical features he desires. The story revolves around Hachibe’s quest to
indulge in his fetishes, and his growing relationships with the other
Hachibe Maeda (Maeda Hachibē?)
The main protagonist of the story. He is a 15-year-old boy who all of his life
has loved only women’s body parts. Because of his fetish, he was not attracted
to women that do not have his ideal parts, and does not get excited over parts
that he believes not to be ideal. For this reason, he begged his mother to let
him go to Sakashitamon Academy in Tokyo in order for him to seek out his ideal
parts. When he finally meets a woman that has his ideal parts, he becomes very
protective of them. He goes though great lengths to indulge in his fetishes as
well as maintain the friendship with the women themselves. Normally he is very
passive and non-violent, but when a serious event threatens his ideal parts he
is able to go into a berserker state. In this state, he is able to accomplish
superhuman feats. He reveals that his father died when he was young and had a
similar personality. His father’s happiness from finding his wife (his ideal
woman) is what drives Hachibe’s quest for his own ideal woman. He begins to
realize his feelings for Tenmaku but can yet understand them because he has
never experienced love before in his life.
Hachibe’s character design resembles Seiji Sawamura, the main character of
Midori Days, Kazorou Inoue’s past work.
Tsubame Ameyagi (Ameyagi Tsubame?)
The landlord at the girls’ dormitory as well as a teacher at Sakashitamon
Academy. She has what Hachibe considers “ideal legs” (like Sally Yumeno’s) and
is very tall (by Hachibe’s estimate, at least 190 centimeters). She is an easy
going, fun loving girl that loves to smoke, drink, and street race in her
modified Honda S800. Being almost 25 years old, her mother desperately wants
her to get married and often makes her attend omiai meetings. Tsubame
purposely sabotages these meetings because she refuses to marry anyone that
she does not love. She actually had a boyfriend (who apparently had a leg
fetish) who she met in college, though he died because of a motorcycle
accident. His younger sister held a grudge against her for years until Hachibe
helped them reconcile. She is originally from Osaka.
Sakurako Tenmaku (Tenmaku Sakurako?)
A freshman at Sakashitamon Academy as well as a tenant at the girls’
dormitory. She has what Hachibe considers “ideal eyes”. Two years ago, she had
to transfer schools because she was being bullied by other girls who accused
her of deceiving their boyfriends. During this time she met a boy one year
older then her named Junichiro Taniyama in cram school, who she liked until he
attempted to rape her. For this reason, she is cold toward the men and is
considered a man hater by her classmates at Sakashitamon Academy . When her
father learned about the torment she was put though by the other girls, it
caused him to become overprotective of her. He has since passed that
responsibility onto Hachibe, who has also indirectly helping her overcome the
psychological trauma she has towards men. She is very economical by nature and
loves finding bargains as well as having an extensive knowledge of how to save
money. When Hachibe first moved in to the dormitory, she disliked him, but
gradually she comes to realize that she likes him. Her feelings have gotten to
the point that both Tsubame and Ayame have noticed. Her family, which consists
of her father, grandmother Hana, and her younger brother and sister, owns a
restaurant. Though her mother was thought to be dead, she makes an appearance
in Parts 83 of the manga. Both Sakurako and her mother both have Hachibe’s
ideal eyes.
Yukari Tsukino (Tsukino Yukari?)
A middle school sophomore at Sakashitamon Academy as well as a tenant at the
girls’ dormitory. She has what Hachibe considers “ideal breasts”. The trait is
revealed to be hereditary because her older sisters have the same breast
shapes but only larger, though her mother doesn’t have them at all. She is
very bashful, partly because boys make fun of her breasts which are bigger
than her peers. She is a tournament champion in archery and secretly is part
of an otaku dōjin circle. She likes Hachibe and confessed to him. Since he
does not understand true love, he could only reply by explaining his love of
parts. This greatly upset her until Tsubame helped her to understand Hachibe
better. She also uses her large breasts to get Hachibe to notice her, though
nowhere near as severe as Ayame Yatsuhashi.
Yukari’s character design resembles Midori Kasugano, the main character of
Midori Days, Kazorou Inoue’s past work.
Kirino Ootori (Ōtori Kirino?)
A freshman at Sakashitamon Academy as well as a tenant at the girls’
dormitory. She has what Hachibe considers to be an “ideal voice”. She is
descendant of a ninja family and master of the Shuusui ninja style. She loves
to sing, but had to hide it because her grandfather’s disapproval of it
getting in the way of her ninja training. For this reason, she loves to go to
karaoke by herself. She has the ability to sense another person’s killer
instinct. She often threatens to kill people that annoy her yet this usually
has no effect on Hachibe for he is in a bliss state just hearing her voice.
Ootori’s character design resembles Nao Makinoha, another character from
Midori Days, Kazorou Inoue’s past work.
Ayame Yatsuhashi (Yatsuhashi Ayame?)
A student at Sakashitamon Academy and the school idol. She is the daughter of
the plutocrat Yatsuhashi, which strive to be the best at everything. Her
father donates so much to the school that she can have her way without
question from the teachers. She wants Hachibe to become her boyfriend because
he is considered to be the strongest in the school. Much to her surprise,
Hachibe rejected her because he couldn’t see any ideal parts. She refused
defeat and through reconnaissance learns of his parts fetish. While being
saved from being hit by a truck, Hachibe learns that she has his “ideal waist
line” (like fine Japanese pottery, or so he says). Afterwards, she decides to
move into the girls’ dormitory in order to remain closer to Hachibe. She is
the only character that regularly exploits Hachibe’s fetish in order to
control him (by doing a belly dance). In the series, it is unclear if she
truly loves Hachibe or if it just a superficial love. In Chapter 51, she has
shown the willingness to go further than the others to make Hachibe hers.

The president of the art department at Sakashitamon Academy. He, like Hachibe,

Hachibe and Ryuunosuke tried to hinder each others fetish activities, but
later have become comrades and now help each other.
Kureha Kano (Kano Kureha?)
A student at Sakashitamon Academy and the former “Mysterious molester”. She
used to attack cute girls and draw glasses on their faces to satisfy her
glasses fetish with other girls. After being stopped by Hachibe and
Ryuunosuke, she starts to hang around bi-spectacled Yukari.
Haiji Kikuno (Kikuno Haiji?)
A bisexual transfer student at Sakashitamon Academy. He is popular with the
girls of his class except Sakurako. He fell in love with Hachibe because of
his pureness of heart, much to Hachibe’s displeasure. Through an accident,
Hachibe learns that Kikuno has his ideal butt, causing Hachibe to have mental
anguish because his part fetish is not strong enough to overcome the gender
issue.
Yoichirou Tatsumi (Tatsumi Yoichirou?)
The president of the science club at Sakashitamon Academy. He is often seen
with Ayame, helping her with her schemes to have Hachibe become her boyfriend.
He is known to have a breast fetish. He even invented what he called “Skeleton

clothes to help satisfy his curiosity.

experience. However, his fetishes have led him to be beaten up by Kirino and
to be a suspect of a burglary. According to the extras, Aburazaka used to have
a normal face but the change in the face is unknown.
Umeka Outani (Outani Umeka ?)
She is a middle school freshman that fell in love with Ryuunosuke. Even when
he rejects her, this only seems to encourage her. Her innocence and naiveté

Art Club, all of which had sexual connotations, where instead of scaring her
away as intended, she is shown enjoying them.
Yuuzou Kawatani (Yuuzou Kawatani ?)
A student in Sagashitatmon’s Judo team and is the school’s champion. He has a
genuine crush on Yukari, and has a rivalry against Hachibe over her. He tries

Kawatani’s protection is trumped by Hachibe’s protection of his loved parts.
