♂ m

He's a legendary man, Leo. In brawls, with guns, even runnin' his mouth, there's no one better. However, it's his seduction of women that makes him famous. He'd see a woman and put the moves on her right there without giving a thought to anyone. I also have memories of those advances... hehe. He sme... read more

He's a legendary man, Leo. In brawls, with guns, even runnin' his mouth, there's no one better. However, it's his seduction of women that makes him famous. He'd see a woman and put the moves on her right there without giving a thought to anyone. I also have memories of those advances... hehe. He smelled of danger, that charming man. The war was supposed to have ended in 44. The repatriation ship went down on a sea mine, and after drifting ashore, he caused a misunderstanding, like he had wanted to get thrown in the internment camp. So he came back to Japan 3 years later, in 47. His own country had completely changed, and it had certainly become a confusing place. He left the repatriation office with no address, no place to go to. It was then he chanced to meet Rose. That is surely where it all began.

♀ f

She's the real founding Madame of Primavera, Rose. However, at some point in 47, she was forced into the role of peacemaker for the Women of the Night. She's kind and fair to everyone. She's very serious and doesn't doubt a thing, the sweetheart. She lacked dignity before being a Madame, but everyon... read more

She's the real founding Madame of Primavera, Rose. However, at some point in 47, she was forced into the role of peacemaker for the Women of the Night. She's kind and fair to everyone. She's very serious and doesn't doubt a thing, the sweetheart. She lacked dignity before being a Madame, but everyone was in love with her for that reason. As a woman, she was beautiful in a sweet way. As a Woman of the Night, well, maybe that disqualifies her. Hers is a fleeting beauty, just like that of freshly fallen snow. As such, no man lays a finger on anyone.

♀ f

A young girl who was accidentally hit by Rose's car while escaping from mafia mooks, and lost her memory. As an apology, Rose supports her and offers her an apartment until she remembers who she is. She also gives her that temporary name.

♂ m

The other boy of the trio, more laid-back and energetic, who calls Wayne his "big brother". Very good at stealing wallets when he lived in the streets. He's especially fond of Chinese food.

♂ m

Richard's former bodyguard, now working through him as a bodyguard for Club Primavera. Apparently fought at the front lines in the war.

♀ f

A "lady of the night" working for Club Primavera and lively drinker. She and Stella are often arguing childishly but both support Rose nonetheless.

♀ f

The girl of the trio, close to Charles in character, but who sometimes causes confusion by speaking in a very… unusual dialect. A gifted slingshot user.

♂ m

The oldest of a group of three orphans, and the most serious and responsible of them… supposedly. He actually has a rather short temper, which caused him some trouble in the past.

♂ m

Brother of Stella and the treasury guardian for the Primavera officials. As Rose is the Club's emotional leader, Richard would be its practical leader.

♀ f

The sister of Richard, and the top "lady of the night" working for Club Primavera. She was one of the faction leaders who agreed to make Rose the Madam of Primavera (the other two being Meryl and Amanda).

♂ m

A bodyguard working for Primavera. He was taken in by Rose after apparently losing all of his relatives and starving in the streets. Because of it, he is very protective of her, to the point of going against all reason.

♂ m

The leader of an American-Japanese mafia branch in Tokyo. Going after Club Primavera, after money and its passionate Madam Rose, he is the first threat Primavera has to fight in the story

♀ f

Amanda used to be Primavera's number one call girl before Stella's introduction to fame. After Rose was chosen as the new Madam, the position which Amanda hoped to attain, she began to work behind the scenes, still trying to cling to the title 'Madam'

♂ m

A charismatic war veteran who gets acquainted with Leo and insists on helping out his "war buddies". He is actually the mafia leader named Caleb and takes over the underworld of City 23 after Alfred's demise.

♀ f

One of the girls working in Club Primavera, who gets kidnapped by Alfred early on, but is rescued by the Club's leading team. After that she leaves the club to open a Japanese potato restaurant named Kuroimo.

♂ m

He is Wayne Uedera, who has become Jeanne Amakawa's quiet and polite old consellor in 2012.

♀ f

A mysterious, silent young girl who often acts like a wild animal and acts as a spy for Lee Meijiu.

♂ m

The owner of a famous gambling club in City 23, the "Rich Bamboo", which rivals Club Primavera in popularity — but similarly loses most of its customers after Caleb's take of power. He was said to be the most powerful boss after Caleb when the man was rising, but had pragmatically surrendered to him... read more

The owner of a famous gambling club in City 23, the "Rich Bamboo", which rivals Club Primavera in popularity — but similarly loses most of its customers after Caleb's take of power. He was said to be the most powerful boss after Caleb when the man was rising, but had pragmatically surrendered to him.

An aspiring young reporter from the Tokyo offices of the Ote Newspaper and the Hong Kong Daily, did I get it right? A graduate of Tsinghua University. She's an extremely talented, quadrilingual woman, proficient in Chinese, Japanese, English, and French. She's learning ancient Japanese martial arts, and she's also an acting member of the Japanese-Chinese Culture Sports Exchange Youth Delegation. But more importantly, she is probably the only unbiased reporter at either of those companies. An unbiased person in 21st century Tokyo, now that's something that's considerably hard to find nowadays, huh?

♂ m

A big shot in Tokyo's Chinatown, who can speak Japanese fluently and supports Primavera with information on the underground. Also a high-ranked member of the Golden Dragon Society, the clan that rules the Chinese mafia in the neighboring City 22 and a part of City 23. Called the Black Dragon, he rep... read more

A big shot in Tokyo's Chinatown, who can speak Japanese fluently and supports Primavera with information on the underground. Also a high-ranked member of the Golden Dragon Society, the clan that rules the Chinese mafia in the neighboring City 22 and a part of City 23. Called the Black Dragon, he represents the faction that supports Sun Tzulung, son of the late leader of the GDS, as the legitimate successor.

♂ m

A former soldier who fought on the frontlines, and one of the most competent mafia bosses working for Caleb.

♂ m

Caleb's loyal and fearsome right-arm, who served in his unit during the war and will help him achieve his goal no matter the cost. The war left him with an unstable personality and a fierce hatred of women.

♂ m

A Captain of the US armed forces who saved Primavera from the brink of destruction, and backs them up behind the scenes. Rather prone to manipulate both his allies and his superiors to comfort his position.

♂ m

Another member of the Golden Dragon Society, who wears the title of "Blue Dragon". Contrary to Meijiu, he represents the faction supporting the Elders' council, which claims that Sun Tzulung is too young to take the head of the GDS. He was also a mentor of sorts for Meijiu, who calls him "honored br... read more

Another member of the Golden Dragon Society, who wears the title of "Blue Dragon". Contrary to Meijiu, he represents the faction supporting the Elders' council, which claims that Sun Tzulung is too young to take the head of the GDS. He was also a mentor of sorts for Meijiu, who calls him "honored brother" ("anija"). His apparent jolliness and geniality hide a fearsome negotiator. [source: TV Tropes
