Characters

[edit]
Momoka Sonokawa (園川 モモカ, Sonokawa Momoka)
Voiced by: Ayaka Ōhashi
A transfer student who is coerced into joining the Survival Game Club by Miou. Gentle and kind on the surface, a different aspect appears when she feels herself wronged or threatened, showing a vicious and vengeful side. She uses a Beretta 92FS.
Miou Ootori (鳳 美煌, Ōtori Miō)
Voiced by: Yumi Uchiyama
The club president and a third year student who comes from a rich family. Her beauty and personality makes her well respected and loved by most of the students in the school. Due to being held back in school for a year (attributed to a lack of credits in the manga and misconduct in the anime), she is old enough to wield airsoft guns the other members are too young to use. She dual wields two Desert Eagles.
Maya Kyōdō (経堂 麻耶, Kyōdō Maya)
Voiced by: Lynn
A second year student who works part time as a gravure idol. A running joke is the fact that out of all the members of the team, she is usually the first one eliminated. She uses an M4A1 Carbine with a Close Quarters Battle Receiver and an XPS variant of an EOTech holographic sight which she keeps in a case as opposed to holsters like the rest of the club.
Urara Kasugano (春日野 うらら, Kasugano Urara)
Voiced by: Rumi Ōkubo
A first year student who hides a fearsome aura behind her cute demeanor. Initially doting on Miou, she falls in love with Momoka instead after developing a masochistic taste for her violent punishments. She dual wields two Glock 26C (note that while the semi-auto Glock 26 is a real firearm, the 26C is a full auto, airsoft exclusive variant, which is manufactured by the companies KWA, KSC, and WE-Tech).
Kayo Gōtokuji (豪徳寺 かよ, Gōtokuji Kayo)
Voiced by: Nao Tōyama
A first year student in Momoka's class and the club's treasurer, who joined purely because of cosplay (as airsoft is partly about appearances). She is shown to be able to change clothing incredibly quick and often wears ridiculous ghillies. She is a genius with an IQ of 160, and is consistently one of the top students in her class. She dual wields two Mac-11s.
Platy (カモ, Kamo)
A platypus who is the club's mascot and often hangs around at Momoka's house.
Kazue Sonokawa (園川 かず江, Sonokawa Kazue)
Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue
Momoka's mother, who has some dubious fetishes. She is shown to carry a Smith & Wesson Model 500 with an Aimpoint T1 red dot sight and is the most skilled gunfighter in the series.
Ena Sakura (佐倉 恵那, Sakura Ena)
Voiced by: Yui Horie
The Survival Game Club's advisor, who often brings about bad luck wherever she goes.
Yayoi Isurugi (石動 やよい, Isurugi Yayoi)
Voiced by: Eriko Matsui
The student council president who is often bewildered by Miou's antics, though appears to be developing a crush on her.
Fried Chicken Lemon (からあげ☆レモン, Kara'age Remon)
Voiced by: Souta Arai
An overweight otaku who becomes an admirer of Momoka and occasionally gets involved in the groups antics.
