Characters

Main characters

{{Nihongo|Kazuki Hoshino|星野 一輝|Hoshino Kazuki}}

Kazuki is the protagonist of the Hakomari series. He is a completely ordinary high school student who loves idle chatter with his friends and Umaibōs, a Japanese snack. The story begins when Kazuki is offered a box by O. Kazuki however refuses the box because the only thing that he wishes for is a normal everyday life. Because of Kazuki's disinterest in the box and his will for an everyday life, O becomes interested in Kazuki. O gives boxes to several people around Kazuki, and before Kazuki knows it his everyday is being destroyed in several different ways. O makes it his mission to study Kazuki in these different scenarios until he believes Kazuki will give in and use a box himself. One day, he is suddenly antagonized by Aya Otonashi — although he has never met her before. She threatens to "break" him.

{{Nihongo|Maria "Aya" Otonashi|音無 麻理亜|Otonashi Maria}}

Maria is a beautiful but unsociable girl with a resolute personality. She transferred into Kazuki's class on March 2nd — almost at the end of the school year. Maria is very stern in her actions and beliefs. She expressed her wish to "break" Hoshino at the very beginning. There is one however one thing that Maria is terrified of, and that is killing someone else. No matter the circumstance, Maria refuses to kill anyone even if it meant saving Kazuki's life. Maria cares deeply for other people because of her wish to become a box herself and is willing to sacrifice her own memories in order to give other people a place where they can be happy inside her box.

Supporting characters

{{Nihongo|O|オー|O}}

'O' (not to be confused with the numeral 0, "zero") is the main antagonist of the series and the giver of the wish-granting boxes. Throughout the series, 'O' demonstrates a fascination with Kazuki Hoshino (who rejected her offer of a box before the events of the story) that motivates her to alter and observe Kazuki's life by giving boxes to the people around him. A supernatural entity whose appearance constantly changes, 'O' describes herself as a "vector," a form and purpose that was given to a much larger, transcendent but ultimately purposeless being with the ability to grant wishes. Daiya Oomine later realizes that 'O' was created as a result of Maria Otonashi's initial wish that became The Flawed Bliss, with Kazuki Hoshino serving as 'O's counterpart, The Empty Box. At the start of the series, 'O' considers Kazuki to be very dear, but after coming to the realization of her origins, 'O' takes on the appearance of Maria's deceased older sister and declares Kazuki to be her enemy. Calculating and emotionless, 'O's one ultimate motivation seems to be the observation of interesting humans and the "groaning of their hearts."

{{Nihongo|Kokone Kirino|桐野 心音|Kirino Kokone}}

Kokone is a bright and beautiful girl who cares a lot for her friends, but is meddlesome at times. She and Daiya have known each other since childhood, and their mutual verbal abuse has become legendary among their classmates ever since. Kokone is a very outgoing person. She likes to tease Kazuki, Haruaki and Daiya, who often tease her back.

{{Nihongo|Daiya Oomine|大嶺 醍哉|Oomine Daiya}}

A self-centered and arrogant student who dyes his hair silver and wears three piercings in his right ear. He is the class president of the second year students and a shrewd friend of Kazuki's.

{{Nihongo|Kasumi Mogi|茂木 霞|Mogi Kasumi}}

Kasumi is the girl who has won Kazuki's heart. She is docile, silent and expressionless. Kasumi lived a normal life going to school, however she was always depressed. Since she never showed any emotions herself, always forcing a smile onto her face, and was never happy, she thought everyone else must be faking it too. She thought nobody would ever notice her, until one day Kazuki ran towards her after she left school asking if she was okay, because she seemed bothered. Mogi denied having anything bothering her, but at the same time she fell in love with Kazuki as he noticed that her smile was fake.

{{Nihongo|Haruaki Usui|臼井 陽明|Usui Haruaki}}

| Summary = Kazuki Hoshino is trapped in the Rejecting Classroom - an odd occurrence that loops a couple of days and erases everyone's memories after every loop. He unintentionally catches the attention of transfer student Aya Otonashi when he identifies her as Maria, to his own surprise. She assumes he is the creator of the Rejecting Classroom, because nobody else should be able to recall incidents from previous loops, but he knows nothing about it. She mentally pressures him to give it up, but he doesn't believe her until he witnesses a death and retains his memories into another loop. At the same time, he also begins to wonder just how and when he fell in love with his crush Kasumi Mogi and realizes it was inside one of these loops. His friend, Haruaki Usui, also seems to have disappeared from this loop. He and Aya end up confronting Mogi about the box and this situation.

Mogi admits she unintentionally created the Rejecting Classroom after being run over in an accident and regretting not being able to convey her feelings to Kazuki, who she had fallen in love with because he saw through her fake cheerful persona. Over the thousands and thousands of repeated cycles, she changes herself over and over to suit his preferences. Eventually, Kazuki returns her feelings, but the Box doesn't end. Over and over, eventually she stops even trying, but his residual feelings still exist and he begins confessing to her. She refuses to end the Box, though, because that would lead to her death. The best solution for her would be to kill him, kicking him out of her world. But, during the confrontation, his sincerity in not wanting to leave her alone causes her to kill herself.

The Rejecting Classroom doesn't end, and they eventually confront O, who was taking the guise of Haruaki and manipulating Mogi and pushing her closer to despair every loop. All for the sake of messing with Kazuki, who was the only person to ever reject a Box given to him. Kazuki gets one final confrontation with Mogi, where he convinces her to relinquish her box. In the real world, he visits her in the hospital and, luckily, it looks like she'll live. Aya then transfers into his class one final time, as O had stated he would stick around to continue messing with Kazuki.

Daiya Oomine, in the midst of it, had gotten immensely protective of Kokone Kirino when Kazuki, who was possessed, intentionally yet unintentionally confessed to her.
