Meet the characters from Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions

Sanae Dekomori

Oh man, Dekomori is pure chaotic energy in human form — dramatic, fiercely loyal, and absolutely not joking when it comes to declarations of loyalty (she will duel you with a pencil if offended). She’s the stereotype-chaser of the group but in the sweetest way, full of chants and over-the-top poses and also somehow very good at long division? She clings to her chunibyo ideals like a badge of honor but can be unexpectedly soft, like she cries over cute stationery and then immediately flips back into battle mode. Honestly she’s the friend you want in a crisis and the one to start the midnight conspiracy to repaint the school wall; she’s never boring.

Shinka Nibutani

Nibutani is the “I used to be weird, I swear” poster child — popular, polished, and low-key terrified that someone will find her old notebook. She tries so hard to be normal that it’s its own kind of charm, and when she slips up you can practically hear the cringe echo for miles (in the best way). She’s surprisingly competent, borderline intimidating when focused, but also does tiny, very human things like hoarding phone chargers and blushing at compliments. There’s a weird affection to her self-polish; she’s both the cool girl and the secret chaos memer, sometimes in the same breath.

Kumin Tsuyuri

Kumin is the queen of naps and comfort, she will literally fall asleep anywhere and somehow make it an aesthetic experience. She’s gentle, unbothered, tasteful in soup choices and very proud of her small pillow — also suspiciously good at calming everyone down by humming, tea, or an accidental life lesson. She’s not dramatic but she’s quietly influential; people follow her lead because who argues with someone who radiates calm like a human plush toy? Occasionally she’ll drop a weirdly sharp observation and you realize she’s been listening the whole time, and yeah, she probably ate your last snack but don’t be mad.

Rikka Takanashi

Rikka is the heart of the whole chuuni madhouse — glued-on eye patch, imaginative monologues, and a private kingdom of fantastical rules that she half-believes and half-wishes everyone else would join. She’s fragile and fierce at once: shy and lost in daylight, ferocious and theatrical when she chooses to be, and also deeply earnest about friendship and the meaning of darkness and light (or whatever her current edgelord metaphor is). She wants to be normal sometimes and then immediately invents a five-act ritual to avoid it, and honestly that contradiction is the best part. Also she hoards pens? Or is it talismans? Either way, give her a weird notebook and she’s unstoppable.

Touka Takanashi

Touka is the “responsible-sister-but-low-key-weird” archetype — practical, patient, and endlessly taking care of the chaos train that is Rikka. She has this dry sense of humor and will scold you like a parent but also secretly enjoys little acts of rebellion, like buying a ridiculous snack at midnight or smirking at bad puns. She’s firm where she needs to be but surprisingly soft; she brooks very little nonsense but somehow forgives a ton of silliness from people she loves. Sometimes she’s an iron gate, sometimes she’s the warmest couch, and occasionally she’ll burst into a hobby you didn’t know she had (knitting, cosplay, tiny swords — who knows).

Makoto Isshiki

Makoto is the low-key dependable classmate who seems boring at first and then proves he’s the glue when things get weird — very reasonable, suspiciously patient, and sometimes sarcastic in a way that’s almost an art form. He likes order but has a weird fondness for the oddball crew’s antics, like he’s secretly amused and maybe collects their dramatic speeches for later. He’s the kind of person who will help you with homework, then roll his eyes at your life choices and still bring snacks, which is somehow the best support. Oh, and he’s marginally obsessed with punctuality but will absolutely drop everything for a good ramen detour.

Kuzuha Togashi

Kuzuha gives little-sibling energy but with surprising sass — bright, curious, and always with a sharp comment ready, sometimes too blunt and then immediately apologetic. She’s mischievous in a harmless way, likes trying on personalities (goth one day, cheerleader the next), and collects embarrassing facts about people like treasures. She’s protective of family and has these moments of big loyalty, though she’ll deny feeling sentimental while hugging a plush that says “never confess.” Honestly sometimes she acts way older than she is and in the next scene is giggling at stickers; very inconsistent, very charming.

Yumeha Togashi

Yumeha is the gentle parental-type who somehow manages to be endlessly supportive without making everything about herself — calm, practical, and also prone to sudden, soft bursts of enthusiasm when someone mentions pastries. She runs on patience and empathy; she’s the person friends call at 2 a.m. for consolation and the person who brings soup with an embarrassed smile. She’s quietly clever too, like notices details everyone else misses, then acts like it’s no big deal while secretly plotting helpful interventions. Also she has this tiny habit of humming show tunes while doing chores, which is both delightful and a little suspicious.

Kazari Kannagi

Kazari is that earnest overachiever with a theatrical streak — idol-ish, pretty, and always ready with a perfectly rehearsed line that’s somehow both genuine and performative. She flits between being ultra-polished and adorably sincere, like she practices smiles but you can tell she means them deep down. She loves attention in a GIF-worthy way but also has a stubborn, almost nerdy dedication to whatever hobby she picks up (cosplay, poetry, magical girl merch, you name it). At times she’s slightly dramatic to the point of meme status, but then she’ll do something thoughtful that makes you like her ten times more; a walking contradiction, basically.
