[edit] Plot

Ikuto Tōhōin ran away from home because of a fight with his father. Boarding a ship which was his life long dream, Ikuto decides to take a vacation until the ship is suddenly hit by a huge storm throwing Ikuto off. He wakes up the next day to discover he is on an uncharted island populated by girls.

[edit] Characters

Ikuto Tōhōin (東方院行人 Ikuto Tōhōin)?, (Seiyū - Hiro Shimono)
Ikuto is the main character of the story and is currently stranded on Airantou. He ran away from home because he fought with his father. Also, he hates losing. Ikuto doesn't believe in fate; when Obaba tells him that being on the island was his fate, he tried to leave Airantou but failed miserably. He is currently living in Suzu's house.
Suzu (すず )?, (Seiyū - Yui Horie)
Suzu is the main heroine of the story. A little spontaneous, honest girl. She is the first person that Ikuto sees on the island, and is possibly the closest one to him. As the series progresses, Suzu begins to develop feelings for Ikuto, but she has trouble realizing it due to her inexperience with boys. She has a pet pig called Tonkatsu.
Ayane (あやね )?, (Seiyū - Saeko Chiba)
Ayane is Suzu's rival, always being defeated by her and wanting to win at least once. Although she doesn't look it, she's 16 years old and being underdeveloped, is also jealous of Suzu's sudden growth. She is deathly afraid of Machi, her older sister, and uses anesthetic darts as her main weapon. She hopes to take Ikuto captive and trump Suzu.
Machi (まち )?, (Seiyū - Mikako Takahashi)
She looks younger than Ayane, but in fact she is older than her. She is also malevolent while looking calm. She often tortures people with her voodoo doll, most preferably Ayane, and thinks people's anguished and frightened faces are beautiful. She also tends to take the most dangerous methods to getting things done. Her weakness lies within being self-conscious of her age; she gets horrible shocks everytime someone calls her old. Machi wishes to take Ikuto because her age means she should be getting married soon.
Rin (りん )?, (Seiyū - Ryoko Shiraishi)
A tomboy-ish apprentice carpenter of the island, Rin is a popular girl and often gets hit on by some of the girls on the island. Due to that, she is easily embarrassed if someone sees her bathing because the girls used to touch and dote on her when she did. She is also very good at cooking and has been an apprentice carpenter for 10 years. She wants Ikuto to be her husband so that the other girls would no longer go after her and think she 'swings that way'. However, she does harbor some feelings for him.
Chikage (ちかげ )?, (Seiyū - Shizuka Itou)
The megane of the group, Chikage wants to have Ikuto for the sole purpose of examining him about the outside world. She collects things that drift in from the modern world and wants to add Ikuto to her collection, though she does show signs of normal embarrassment when she sees Ikuto in the bath. Chikage also wants to see what a male can reveal in terms of information. She lives in the only English style house with her elephant maid, Panako. She has a habit of reading mature magazines and gets ideas from them to use against Ikuto.
Yukino (ゆきの?)
Yukino is the youngest girl on the island and has an affiliation with animals. She is always seen riding an animal and she hates it when people call her young. The reason she has befriended so many animals is because due to being the youngest, she was left behind in work and came to play with them. Because she rides something all the time, she is easily tired from walking.
Mei Mei (梅梅 (メイメイ)?)
Mei Mei is an outsider just like Ikuto. Her family worked as traveling performers, but she kept messing up and embarked on a journey that got her to the island. She is very shy and reclusive, to the point where she is forced to illustrate her thoughts through drawings.
Shinobu (しのぶ?)
