Characters who are anime-only or whose recurrent appearance(s) occur in anime original episodes are listed here.

Family members

Picture	Name	Appearances	Role & background
	Ayako Suzuki	Ayako Suzuki Appearances	Ayako Suzuki (鈴木 綾子 ,Suzuki Ayako) is Sonoko's older sister and a graduate student interested in film. She was in a film club while an undergraduate, holding the role of Head of Makeup and Costumes, and hosted the club reunion. She is engaged to Yuzo Tomizawa. In contrast to her sister, Ayako is much more polite, kind, and lacks the somewhat snobbish and shallow attitude Sonoko often displays. She acts relatively happy and always appears as if she has her eyes closed, which is a common stylistic design in anime and manga. According to Sonoko, Ayako is not a summer person, and dislikes being out in the sun, but she went to the family's summer villa for the chance to see her fiance. She is the keyhole character for Volume 13. She is voiced by Cynthia Cranz in the FUNimation dub.

She is interested in some idols, as she asks Mitsuhiko to get her an autograph of one. She speaks politely (addressing her mother as Okaa-sama instead of Okaa-san) because her parents are strict about polite speech. Like her little brother, her name comes from Yasuo Uchida's reporter character Mitsuhiko Asami (浅見 光彦 ,Asami Mitsuhiko). She is voiced by Ikue Otani.
	Goro	Goro Appearances	Goro (ゴロ ,Goro) is Eri Kisaki's pet cat. His name comes from Kogoro's name and Goro is the keyhole character for Volume 74.
