context_section_description: Honoka Miki as Kotoko Aihara
  Kotoko Aihara is the protagonist. She has had a one-sided love for the school's most popular boy since her freshman year of high school. Though she is not good in academics, she works hard to succeed. She lives with her single father, with her mother having died when she was young. Due to an incident with their new house, Kotoko and her father are forced to move out and now live with the Irie family. Although Naoki and his younger brother are initially cold to her, she is openly welcomed by their parents — especially their mother, who develops an instant attachment to Kotoko due to always wanting a daughter. Throughout the first season, Kotoko feels as though Naoki hates her and is slow in realizing that he is actually falling in love with her. This is mainly due to Naoki giving her mixed signals of his feelings towards her, when he himself doesn't even understand them. Despite his indifference, Kotoko still works hard and tries her best to help Naoki and his family whenever she can. Kotoko is also close friends with Kinnosuke or 'Kin-chan' who openly expresses his love for her. However, she does not reciprocate his feelings and likes him as a close friend. Towards the season one finale, when Naoki is about marry Sahoko, she finally gives up on him and tries to move on with Kinnosuke. Despite her effort, she realizes that she is unable to ever let go of her love for Naoki. After this realization, Naoki soon admits his true feelings and proposes to her. This leaves her initially shocked, but she happily accepts.
  Yuki Furukawa as Naoki Irie
  Naoki Irie is the smartest and most handsome boy at Tonan High School. He is rumored to have an IQ of 200 and is very popular among the girls due to his intelligence and good looks. He can be somewhat intimidating to other students at Tonan, particularly the bottom ranking class F, which Kotoko is a part of. Despite being loved by almost all the girls in his school, he has no interest in any of them. Initially, he is very cold and rather mean to Kotoko, leaving the impression that he dislikes her. However, he warms up to her as the story progresses and begins to fall in love with her. However, he fails to understand his feelings since he has never experienced such emotions before. Although he is an academic genius, he is very slow in terms of emotional intelligence and does not realize that he is in love with Kotoko. Because Naoki could do anything he set his mind to with ease, he had never experienced any sort of physical or mental hardship before meeting Kotoko. While he makes it clear that Kotoko frequently causes him trouble, he admits that she has also made his life more interesting. He later confesses how she has allowed him to finally experience basic human emotions (such as excitement and nervousness) for the first time. He experiences jealousy when he sees her with Kin-chan in season one, but is still unable to understand his feelings until hearing that Kin-chan proposed to her. Finally realizing and accepting his true feelings for Kotoko and knowing that he could truly lose her, he decides to make his feelings known and confesses to her. After this, he proposes to Kotoko and they get married. Later in the series, Naoki reveals that Kotoko was the reason he wanted to attend college and became a doctor (due to her suggesting that he would make an excellent one).
