Yui Kobayashi plays Lily Someya , an extremely popular girl, but is allergic to men, and only attracted to other girls. For some reason, she is also allergic to Baka.
Momoko Fukuchi plays Minami Yamamoto - nickname Yamai. Her character is a representation “Chūnibyō” a term for middle school students who live in a fantasy world with delusions of grandeur.
Mei Hata plays Saku Momoi, nickname ‘Loli’ see Mei’s thread for more details.
Ayaka Imoto plays Hisui Kujyō ‘Maho’ who dabbles in witchcraft and the occult. Her character has a normal younger sister (younger twin) played by JPH!P favorite Noa Kita.
Baka may be incredibly dumb, but she has a heart of gold and always looks after others. The plot is wacky, as in Manga wacky, and live cast and director made this show very entertaining.
