She is usually seen wearing her school uniform. Shouko hardly talks with people. She is unable to utter a word nor sound in her daily life due to her crippling anxiety and fear of rejection by her peers.

**Height**: 168 cm (170.2 cm later) **Position:** President **Relatives**: [Hitomi Tadano](https://anilist.co/character/130878/Hitomi-Tadano) (younger sister) Hitohito Tadano is a person average in almost every way. His name means, *just some guy*. He is the first to befriend [Shouko Komi](https://anilist.co/character/121956/Shouko-Komi). Tadano is often described as an ordinary student with normal looks and average height and weight. His style of clothing is also considered to be relatively typical. His lone stand-out feature is the white cowlick in his black hair. When he was forced to cross-dress during the Cultural Festival, he was admired implicitly by the boys and Komi. His cross-dressing incorporates a short, red-haired girl's wig with pigtails. Tadano suffered from chuunibyou in his second year of middle school. After confessing to a girl who immediately rejected him, he began to be self-conscious of his identity and drastically altered his style and outlook on life, making himself less noticeable to others. Almost everything about him - height, weight, appearance, academic achievements, athletic abilities, ice skating skills - is perfectly average. Despite his lack of talents, he's been shown to be good at observing and buying gifts for people. On his first day of high school, he met Komi and was seated next to her. He later deduced that she had a communication disorder and became invested in helping her make 100 friends. ~!Tadano can be clueless when it comes to romance, being unable to tell when someone else harbors romantic feelings for him, such as Komi and [Rumiko Manbagi](https://anilist.co/character/127449). He has a crush on the two, but is very unclear about it compared to the two.!~ ~!In chapter 301, it is revealed that Hitohito has a crush on Komi!~ ~!in chapter 302, Hitohito confesses to Komi.!~

**Height:** 158.3 cm Rumiko Manbagi is a gyaru girl who enters the second year of school with no friends. She becomes friends with [Shouko Komi](https://anilist.co/character/121956/Komi-Shouko) and [Hitohito Tadano](https://anilist.co/character/78093/Tadano-Hitohito), her being the first Komi was able to befriend alone. Manbagi is a manba-styled gyaru girl with tanned skin, bleached light hair, and a very girly fashion sense. She's introduced in ridiculous, heavy makeup, but once that's removed she is revealed to have a naturally beautiful face. She has shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair, a dark complexion, and a curvy figure. Manbagi had a short, black bob and fair skin when she was in middle school. Manbagi is a cheerful, friendly girl who easily gets along with people once she becomes friends with them. In contrast to Komi, she's quite energetic and talkative. Though the two are more alike than it initially seems, both being sweet, lonely girls who desperately want friends. She seems somewhat naive and insecure, believing that her heavy makeup is what makes her pretty and thinking she doesn't compare to Komi. Manbagi has a tsundere personality as she can be harsh to Tadano. That harshness has softened as she's become nicer, but can still be short-tempered when embarrassed. ~!She develops a crush on Hitohito. Her tsundere personality comes from her shyness about the feelings she's developed for him after being called cute. In chapter 264, she mumbles her love for Hitohito while falling asleep. Tadano overheard her, but she's unaware of this.!~

He's quiet most of the time but can converse well. Shousuke has short trimmed hair and his eyes are usually hidden with his bangs. Still, his very appearance is similar to his mother and sister and can be referred to as a handsome man. Shousuke appears to share many traits with his older sister, often choosing to remain silent and being widely popular among his peers as a result. Unlike Shouko, who stays quiet mainly because of her anxieties and problems communicating, Shousuke doesn't feel bothered talking, perfectly capable of communicating without speaking in the first place. He is very apathetic, often neglecting to do anything he deems annoying or pointless, such as introducing himself to the class, instead opting to remain silent. In contrast to his sister, whose goal is to make friends, Shousuke seems to be perfectly content being by himself as he often flat-out ignores any classmates who invite him to eat lunch with them.

Because of her cheery nature, she is well-liked among her peers. Hitomi is rather blunt and forthright, openly claiming that she's not very good in either grades or sports during her class introduction. She does not seem to possess the same level of self-awareness as her older brother and tends to jump to conclusions.

She later apologized deeply to Ase, but still felt guilty seeing her friend gradually lose her confidence due to her intense sweating.
