Genres: Comedy, Drama, Ecchi, Love-Romance
Characters:

Yuusuke Takasaki

Ordinary, nice, and maybe a little paranoid, Yuusuke is the typical male protaganist one would find in most anime. He is friends with every member of the Baka Trio, and thankfully does not share their perverted traits. For some reason, Midori seems to know Yuusuke and is heads over heels in love with him. Yuusuke has no idea who Midori is, but he still develops a crush on her. He also experiences feelings for tomboy Futaba Kutsuki, creating a love triangle.

Midori Chitose

The main female lead, Midori is an outgoing and cheerful girl who seems to know Yuusuke and is also in love with him. She seems willing to do anything for him, even filling out a form of perverted questions the Baka Trio gave her, hoping it will please Yuusuke. In the opening scene of the series, Midori narrates a tale about two people who were in love, but their love was forbidden at the time and they could not stay together. They promised each other to meet again in another life, which hints that Midori is the girl from the tale and somehow retained her memories, while Yuusuke is the boy from the tale, but he has not retained the memories of his past life.

Futaba Kutsuki

Futaba fills the role of the tough girl. She is disgusted by the Baka Trio and considers most of the boys in Kanenone to be perverts. Futaba even goes so far as to knock out and hang the Baka Trio (and Yuusuke) upside down by rope when they are caught peeping on the girls while they bathe. After the Baka Trio pulls a cruel and humiliating prank on her in retort, Futaba decides to leave Kanenone on her own that very night. She gets lost in the woods but is rescued by Yuusuke, who carries her back to Kanenone. This act sparks feelings inside her for Yuusuke, and soon Yuusuke also finds himself liking Futaba. Futaba was highly popular amongst fans, and many preferred episodes focusing on her and Yuusuke, rather than Midori and Yuusuke. Futaba was actually made the main character in the H-game's second sequel, Green Green 3.

Futaba has a younger sister, Wakaba.

Wakaba Kutsuki

Wakaba is Futaba's younger sister. She looks up to and respects Futaba, but has trouble refusing a favor if someone asks for it. The most defining trait of Wakaba is her potted cactus, whom she named Togemura. Wakaba carries Togemura everywhere with her and seems to be able to speak to it and sense when Togemura is talking to her. In fact, she uses Togemura as a weapon to defend herself and her friends in a magical girl-style.

Sanae Minami

A weak and shy girl, Sanae looks much younger than the rest of the main female characters. This has drawn the attention of Tenjin, who is attracted to "little sister" types. In fact, Tenjin wants Sanae to call him "Onii-chama", a term meaning "big brother" which merges chan and sama. Sanae, however, is scared to death of the perverted Tenjin and wants to be as far away from him as possible. Sanae has gone on the trip to Kanenone because her doctors feel that the fresh country air will be beneficial to her health.

Reika Morimura

Reika is Midori's best friend and seems to know about the connection between Midori and Yuusuke. She seems to be intent on keeping the two apart, trying to put Yuusuke and Futaba together instead. Reika's motives are explained near the end of the series.

Unlike the other characters, Reika was not in the H-game of Green Green. She was created as a totally new character for the television series.

Chigusa Iino

Chigusa is the nurse at the all-girls boarding school. She came along on the trip as the girls' supervisor. The Baka Trio, especially Bacchi-Gu, are enamored by Chigusa's beauty and her E-cup breasts. Although she is meant to keep the girls in order, Chigusa is very easy-going and actually encourages the girls to flirt with the boys.

Bacchi-Gu

The apparent leader of the Baka Trio, Bacchi-Gu is an overweight, bespectacled pervert who has no shame. The arrival of beautiful girls to Kanenone seems to send him out of control. He does things such as drinking the bath water the girls recently bathed in, to making a nipple print of his own nipples so he can imagine they belong to a girl. Bacchi-Gu is considered to be the lead comic relief of the series (although the series is mostly comedy) and is the male mascot of Green Green.

Hikaru Ichiban-Boshi

Literally translated in English as "shining number one star," Ichiban-Boshi believes himself to be a suave ladies man. He has a book of pick-up lines to use on his new female classmates, but he always fails and makes a fool of himself. He is perhaps the least perverted of the Baka Trio, but he is still a pervert nonetheless.

Tenjin

Tenjin has a very strange fetish. He dreams of having a young girl consider him a big brother, and then she will sleep next to him...while he smells her and eats rice at the same time. Sanae's young appearance makes him instantly attracted to her, but Sanae wants nothing to do with Tenjin.
