Hitomi Kashiwa (柏 瞳,Kashiwa Hitomi)?) Voiced by: Sanae Kobayashi (Japanese), Luci Christian (English) Tatsuhiro's senpai in high school, now a public servant. Due to stress, Hitomi develops a dependence on drugs. Hitomi met Tatsuhiro when she persuaded him to join the Literature Club, though most of the time they only ever played card games. She has always been fascinated by the concept of conspiracy theories and is one of the reasons Tatsuhiro suspects the conspiracy against himself by the N.H.K. Also, it is noted in both the anime and novel that she had sex with Tatsuhiro during the last day of school before she graduated because Tatsuhiro kept her company in literature club for her last two years of high school. She attempts a suicide through an internet suicide pact called the Offline Meeting Notice (an offline meeting is a slightly slang term for a meeting of people who have met on the Internet, not really having much to do as a pun for "shutting one's life off like a computer"). However, she changes her mind after her boyfriend proposes to her. She gets married and has a healthy kid, though before her marriage on new years she asks Tatsuhiro if he wants to have an illicit affair with her and have sex in a love hotel they were standing in front of, but Tatsuhiro reminds her that since she's happy she should have a good life. Her role in the novel is minor, and she is not given a name.

Tatsuhiro Satō

Tatsuhiro Satō (佐藤 達広,Satō Tatsuhiro?) Voiced by: Yutaka Koizumi (Japanese), Chris Patton (English) The story's protagonist, at twenty-two-years-old, he has entered his third year of being a hikikomori and is a NEET. One to have psychotic thoughts, he believes that his unemployment and dropout are the works of NHK's conspiracy. He lives in his rented apartment, but depends on his parents for money. Under the influence of his neighbor, Kaoru Yamazaki, he has become a lolicon otaku, and helps Yamazaki on the script of their adult game. He later attempts Misaki's project, initially not taking it seriously. He quickly falls in love with her, but is afraid about not knowing anything about Misaki, and about how she knows so much about him. His paranoia drives him to find out that she can easily see his apartment and his activities, with her own house being an excellent vantage point. He tries to save himself from potential betrayal by claiming he doesn't ever want to see her again. Later, he resumes the project with her, but his feelings for her returned to platonic. However, near the end of the series, Sato's true feelings for her are revealed when she makes up another contract that will bind them together as a couple forever. Despite how he feels, he rejects the contract protecting her from his own condition believing she deserves someone much better than him, even if it would mean reverting back to a hikikomori. Later when Misaki is about to commit suicide he confesses she is important for him, trying to stop her from committing suicide. It is assumed at the end of the anime that he and Misaki will support each other until Sato saves enough money, Misaki finishes high school, and they both have finished college.

Misaki Nakahara

Misaki Nakahara (中原 岬,Nakahara Misaki?) Voiced by: Yui Makino (Japanese), Stephanie Wittels (English) A mysterious girl who claims to be a volunteer from a "charity project" to help hikikomori like Tatsuhiro. She has the tendency to lie and hides facts such as the fact that she dropped out of high school, but she does not mean any harm. She tells Tatsuhiro whatever it takes to make him pay attention to her. She seems to have a deep attachment to Tatsuhiro, and often shows symptoms suggesting she has a borderline personality disorder. She makes a contract with Tatsuhiro in order to believe that she is needed by somebody and therefore not an unwanted person who only makes others around her unhappy. Her biological father died when she was very young and her mother died by falling off the cape in her hometown. It is never revealed if the cause of death was suicide or if the wind had knocked her off. After her mother's death, she was forced to live with her abusive stepfather who constantly beat her. Due to this experience, when Tatsuhiro is about to hit her following the events at the island, she flinches by instinct. She loves Sato and tries to make it seem like he needs her more but in reality she is even more lonely than him to the point where she attempts to commit suicide after Sato refuses her feelings in a second contract she makes. She is seen at the end of the anime getting help from Sato to finish her high school degree, so that she and Sato can go and finish college in order to start their life (relationship) officially together. Misaki's personality greatly differs between the manga and the anime, in the manga she appears more sarcastic and doesn't hesitate to reprimand Tatsuhiro while in the anime, she has an introverted personality.
