About this title

Synopsis

Yoshikawa Haruo is just your average middle school boy who doesn't have many goals, other than to live a long life. He is the eldest of his family, and lives with his 3 younger sisters in a home with no parents. He is completely unaware of his sisters' magical powers, and supposedly has some of his own, but they have not been discovered yet. One day, a mysterious, yet beautiful, girl appears before him. This is Mamiya Ayumi, who also has magical powers. Her goal is to "make Haruo into a man" so that she can break the curse that was put on her as a young child. To do so, she is forced to work as a maid in their house. She's adored by all the boys in school, but hated by Kurusou Yuri, the serious, driven, and orderly class president who has had a crush on Haruho since they were young...

Main characters

Ayumi Mamiya10 fan favorites
External profile
Ayumi Mamiya is a young witch who was cursed during her childhood. The only one who could lift this curse is Haruo Yoshikawa, which forces her to study at the same school and move into the Yoshikawa residence as the maid. Because of this, she and Maika constantly get into arguments usually involving Haruo. The only thing Ayumi focuses on is trying to make Haruo a man through flirting and sometimes spells. She uses her curse as an excuse for flirting with him..
Maika Yoshikawa6 fan favorites
External profile
Maika is the oldest sister of the Yoshikawa family. She can use magic, and loves cooking for her brother and sisters. She has long lilac-coloured hair, often tied back with green ribbons. She is very protective of her brother Haruo, and was immediately suspicious of Ayumi's intentions. The others often accuse her of having a brother complex, which is not entirely unjustified. As a toddler she subliminally brainwashes Haruo in his sleep by chanting "Big Brother will stay with Maika" repeatedly, and her usually caring and ladylike-personality is replaced by a possessive jealousy whenever any female shows any closeness to her brother. "Ka" means "summer" in Japanese
Fuyuno Yoshikawa4 fan favorites
External profile
Fuyuno is the youngest sister of the Yoshikawa family. She can also use magic, and she loves just about anything that involves making money, a subject that makes her adopt the demeanor (and voice) of a Scrooge-like miser many times her years. Many times she comes up with excuses for the strange events which occur to non-magic people, and is fantastic at problem solving. She has short blue hair with a gray and black ribbon. "Fuyu" means "winter" in Japanese.
Chiaki Yoshikawa3 fan favorites
External profile
Chiaki is the middle sister of the Yoshikawa family. She can also use magic, and loves working out and eating food. She has long, lavender hair, often tied back with a red ribbon. Clueless, honest, sincere, and completely without guile and malice, Chiaki is easily the most sweet and likable girl in the cast. "Aki" means "autumn" in Japanese.
Rika Anju2 fan favorites
External profile
An enigmatic maid sent by Ayumi's father into the service of the Yoshikawa household, apparently to collect data. An effective maid, she is taciturn and quite able to cause trouble and thwart Ayumi's attempts to seduce Haruo. Her seeming obliviousness to the present conceals a calculating cunning that rivals even Fuyuno's.
Michiru Mamiya2 fan favorites
External profile
Ayumi's younger sister, who is determined to stop Ayumi from breaking her curse and one day becoming head of the Mamiya family. She knows that Haruo's powers extend far beyond the ability to break Ayumi's curse and she intends to use that power to take over the world
Haruo Yoshikawa1 fan favorites
External profile
Haruo is the leading male of the series, an average junior high school boy who has a perfect attendance record at school and doesn&#039;t have any longterm prospects, aside from living a long life. He lives with his three sisters, and has no idea any of them are mahou tsukai (magic users). Haruo, himself, supposedly has latent magic powers, but he is not aware of this, believing he and his family are perfectly ordinary. Maika and his other sisters make sure Haruo is kept in the dark about the fact that they can use magic through liberal application of magic memory erasing hammers (no less than three hammers simultaneously at times). He seems somewhat naive, and always in the dark about the feelings of people (mainly woman who like him) around him. However, he cares about the well being of others. Haruo is in his first year of junior high school (grade 7), in classroom B. "Haru" means "spring" in Japanese, as he is the oldest in his family.
Marin Nijihara1 fan favorites
External profile
A Catholic witch hunter who thinks that Haruo was sent from heaven and needs protection from witches (especially Ayumi). She works with Ayumi, Yuri, and/or Maika when she feels that they have a common cause. Marin is an incompetent and clumsy fool who injures herself more in her attacks than any of the "evil-witches" that she so adamantly hunts, not to mention the picture of a Christian zealot who endlessly justifies all her hypocrisies with the mantra "It's in the name of the Lord." It's unclear whether Marin has deeper feelings for Haruo, or if she just admires him for what she calls "keeping away evil witches".
Tetsuko Hongou1 fan favorites
External profile
Haruo's class teacher, who seems to always be nearby whenever something strange happens. It is later revealed that she is an artificially-created human immune to certain kinds of magic.
Yuri Kurosu0 fan favorites
External profile
Yuri is the school's #1 idol as the student concil president, but she gets some unwelcome competition when Ayumi transfers in. She met Haruo when she was a little girl, and instantly fell in love. Her hair changes colour (brown to silver) when she uses her battle magic. Yuri is still in love with Haruo, hence her constant daydreaming about him, and gets irrationally angry when Ayumi is with him. As an excuse to see him she often says that Ayumi's behavoiur is "Against School Policy" and as the Student President she must see that all rules are followed
