Characters

Yachiyo Inugami (犬神 八千代, Inugami Yachiyo)
Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka
Sixteen years old. Despite having a dog-like surname and personality, she is a cat lover. She is quite perverted and somewhat of a masochist. In the anime, when she is happy or excited, her ponytail will wag like a dog's tail.
Suzu Nekoyama (猫山 鈴, Nekoyama Suzu)
Voiced by: Nao Tōyama
Sixteen years old. The polar opposite of Yachiyo, as she has a cat-like surname and personality, but loves dogs.
Aki Hiiragi (柊木 秋, Hiiragi Aki)
Voiced by: Yuka Ōtsubo
Yachiyo's friend and Suzu's classmate, who often serves as the straight man trying to bring Yachiyo and Suzu's relationship back down to reality.
Mikine Nezu (杜松 美希音, Nezu Mikine)
Voiced by: Sayaka Horino [ja]
Yachiyo's classmate who, like a mouse, eats a lot of cheese and is generally nocturnal. She is a member of the biology club.
Yukiji Ushiwaka (牛若 雪路, Ushiwaka Yukiji)

Mikine's senior in the biology club who, much like her cow-like name suggests, has ample breasts.
Sora Sarutobi (猿飛 空, Sarutobi Sora)
Voiced by: Shoko Nagahiro [ja]
The class president of Yachiyo's class. She hates being referred to as a monkey because of her name, even though she displays various monkey traits now and again.
