A young girl who lives in the observatory. She is searching for beautiful things, such as the meaning of life, and keeps them recorded onto a map. She is a self-proclaimed genius. Despite her confidence in her own beauty, only very few people can actually stand spending time with her due to her eccentric behaviour and her curious nature. Sometimes she says "I'm off to meet with my neighbour" and just wanders off somewhere. Her favourite food is konpeito.

A girl who runs the only post office in town. Despite being appreciated by the townspeople, she is humble and not all that conscious of how much she contributes to the town. To her, delivering post is like a mission, one that she puts all of her effort into fulfilling quietly by herself. She is heavily influenced by her grandfather, and visits his grave before each and every delivery. She only has a very limited understanding of society, and is very prone to quickly believing the words of others, but her naive and sweet nature make her a favourite in town.

Her job is to take care of the wheat fields and then use the harvested wheat to make the most incredible pizza. However, it is very difficult to get a taste of the food that she makes.

♂ m

Neo Town Council Chairman. Founder and chairman of the Neo Town Council.

♂ m

Aino's father. A man handy with machines, he toils away in silence at the repair shop on the town's edge. Rigid and brusque, he's the polar opposite of his daughter—making him a tough nut to crack. Word is, he ended up in this town for reasons he'd rather forget.

♀ f

A veterinarian in Masumi and a close friend of Spica. Her skills are impeccable, winning over not only the town's residents but the animals she treats as well. Don't underestimate her because of her age—her boundless energy rivals that of the youngest folks around.

A middle-aged man who works as a bartender in Masumi. He also works as a detective on the side, and is obsessed with the "hard-boiled" aspect.
