Shoko Maruyama (Maro)
Maro is also a new student at
Hontsuru Jr. High with Jiyu. She
recommended that the three new
students form a group call the New
Student Lovelies. However, this
group isn't official until they
celebrate the formation at the
Otomodachi dessert shop. Jiyu
always cancels on the celebration,
though. She seems nice and social,
but is emotionally mature, unlike
Jiyu. She loves older men and
finds Jiyu's dad rather handsome.
When her dad falls for Mikage,
she feels jealous and is angry.
Toyama Sachi (Sachi)
Sachi is the other new student
in class 2B. She never seems
to have much to say nor wants to
do anything, but has a social life
around Maro and Kozaru. When
Maro suggested that they form
the New Student Lovelies she 
was decline. And when Maro
mentions that they are a group
she's quick to say they're not.
Fortunately, no one really listens
to this green tea-hating cynic.
