Truth be told, it can be rather had to deal with her unless you’ve obtained the “Uraraka Grade Pre-2nd Class Certification”.

Rize Kurusubara (voiced by Mizue Tsunashima in Japanese) is the youngest of twin sisters that reincarnated from another world. She lives at her own pace. She quickly adapted to her new life in the human world, and in fact, she’s become quite fond of human entertainment. She entrusts everything to her older sister.

Ruriko Mikasa (voiced by 宮松芽叶) is the secretary of the Student Council. She is known for her wild imagination. Her greatest joy in life is to be ordered around by the president of the Student Council. In Japanese, she adds “ssu” at the end of each sentence.

January 26th

Rion Harusame (voiced by Kurea Fujie in Japanese) is a member of the Theatre Club who made a name for herself as a delinquent in middle school. But this is a thing of the past (supposedly): she has fallen in love with acting, and she claims to be the gentlest person in her club.
