Some
Characters of Note:
Kintaro
Oe : The protagonist of the series, Kintaro
chose to enter the real world before actually graduating
into it in order to get some first-hand experience
about life. A man of many talents, Kintaro has a
just as much, if not more, of a passion for learning
and studying as he does for a pretty woman. While
his perversion tends to get him in trouble many
times, Kintaro is at heart a kind young man who
will do anything to help out someone in need of
assistance.
TN
Soft President:
A beautiful and also brilliant young woman, the
president of this all-female software company has
never been defeated when it came to delivering projects
on the deadline. Now she's got a program with a
chance of breaking into the American market, but
a certain infatuated student by the name of Kintaro
might prove to be her downfall. She's known to drive
a bright yellow sports car and to throw large sums
of money around like it was nothing. She's also
the first to encounter Kintaro and his very unique
personality.
Naoko
Katsuda :
The young (and supposedly innocent) daughter of
a popular mayoral candidate, Naoko rebels in secret
against the sheltered life she has led by treating
men like playthings - always teasing them, but never
quite letting them get within reach of her before
she has has father make them beg for mercy. It's
unclear to even her why she does these things, but
Kintaro is somehow able to see right through her
facade, and into the person within.
Noriko
: The daughter of a working-class family,
Noriko is a sweet girl who intends on continuing
the restaurant business that her family has worked
so hard to maintain over the years. However, unknown
to her, someone close to her and the family is
planning its downfall for his own selfish ends
- but if Kintaro has anything to say about it,
it's not going to happen.
