==Plot==
''Goshūshō-sama Ninomiya-kun'''s story revolves around Shungo Ninomiya, a male high school student trained in difficult hand-to-hand combat. He lives in a huge house with his older sister Ryōko, who is almost always gone on some dangerous mercenary mission. One day, his sister sends Mayu and Mikihiro Tsukimura, two siblings, to live with him to help Mayu overcome her fear of men. Unfortunately this is accomplished by making Mayu and Shungo share the same room, bathe together and even sleep together in the same bed. Making things even worse, Reika Hōjō, the student-council chair, is blackmailed into becoming their maid due to a video that Ryoko recorded, in which she tries to seduce Shungo.

:{{anime voices|Junji Majima}}, Ayahi Takagaki (young), Takuma Terashima (first radio drama)
:Shungo, the main character, is a talented martial artist and can even defend himself in his sleep. It seems that he met Reika and Mayu when they were kids but only Reika remembers this, yet remaining oblivious. He also seems to show little interest in women, as the girls in his school are frequently trying to get him to have intercourse with them (or at least sexually tease him anyways to try his restraint as much as possible), but as of yet, he has done his best to run away. In fact he shows almost no interest at all in women with the exception of Reika and Mayu.

Because she cannot control her powers, she naturally attracts men as if they were zombies, and knocks them out with her power when they get too close.

;{{Nihongo|{{vanchor|Mikihiro Tsukimura}}|月村美樹彦|Tsukimura Mikihiro}}
:Voiced By: Mai Kadowaki
:{{anime voices|Ken Narita}}, Daisuke Hirakawa (first radio drama)
:Mayu is a girl suffering from androphobia who is sent by Ryōko Ninomiya to live with Shungo to get over her fear. She and her brother are [[succubi]], which in this series refers to people with special abilities of attracting members of the opposite sex and feeding on their life force. However, Mayu cannot control her power, which causes her to be chased by men often. She has very large breasts and frequently finds herself getting into situations where they are shown off or she puts herself into embarrassing situations, for example, getting sprayed with water from the sink while wearing a tight white shirt or frequently falling on top of Shungo in suggestive positions. She is horrible at cleaning up or tidying up places. She binds up the fringes of her hair on each side with a pair of bat's wing-like hair-clips. Though she is terribly clumsy, which often gets her into bad situations, Mayu is very lucky, which serves to bring her out of said situations.
:Mikihiro is Mayu's older brother. He is an [[incubus]], the male counterpart of a [[Succubus (Traditional)|succubus]].<ref name="ep1"/> He enjoys manipulating Reika and others to do what he wants. He and Ryōko are long-time friends, as they are often seen working together,<ref name="ep6"/> even in flashbacks. In the anime episode where Shungo searches for ramen ingredients, Mikihiro happens to own the related businesses: a wheat farm, an animal ranch, and a fishing boat.<ref name="ep8">''Good Luck!

;{{Nihongo|Reika Hōjō|北条麗華|Hōjō Reika}}
;{{Nihongo|{{vanchor|Mitsuru Hosaka}}|保坂光流|Hosaka Mitsuru}}
:Voiced By: Miyuki Sawashiro
:{{anime voices|Kouki Miyata}}, Yuka Inokuchi (first radio drama)
:Reika is the student council president at Shungo's school, and is the heiress to and executive of her father's vast corporate empire. She becomes Shungo's maid after Ryōko threatens to spread a video of her over the web. She loves Shungo and is envious of Mayu's large breasts. She had a close childhood relationship with Shungo in the past, somewhat like lovers in fact, although Shungo only vaguely remembers this in his dreams. It has been shown that, like Mayu, Reika is also a succubus. She has symptoms of borderline personality disorder, that apparently the outer Reika talks to sometimes. The other side of her introduces herself as the darkness within Reika, and while the "normal" Reika speaks with an aristocratic air (by using Japanese speech that is reasonably too formal), once the "inner" Reika surfaces, the formal speech format disappears and Reika speaks in a more blunt manner. The "inner" Reika is also willing to do anything to get Shungo. She was the only one who retain her memories of her childhood, but refrains for speaking of it in fear of harm Shungo's mind.
:Mitsuru is a senior student to Shungo, and Reika's main assistant both at school and at home.<ref name="ep2"/> He has martial arts abilities that rival Shungo's.<ref name="ep6"/><ref name="ep12"/>


;{{Nihongo|Ryōko Ninomiya|二ノ宮涼子|Ninomiya Ryōko}}
;{{Nihongo|{{vanchor|Shinobu Kirishima}}|霧島 しのぶ|Kirishima Shinobu}}
:Voiced By: Michiko Neya
:{{anime voices|Saeko Chiba}}
:Ryōko is Shungo's busty older sister. She is also a skilled martial artist and sometimes brings a camera to tape Shungo and Mayu together and provoke Shungo. She likes to mess around with her younger brother and the other girls most of the time for her own personal enjoyment; in fact, she likes to grope Reika in suggestive places, then chides her for being such a naughty girl for being so sensitive to her touch.
:Kirishima is the head maid for Reika's family. She carries a wakizashi sword, ready to execute Shungo, whom she thinks is not worthy of Reika. She uses Japanese honorifics towards Reika, but quickly reverts back to blunt speech towards Shungo. In the anime, she joins the cast after the gang spend a vacation on a private island.<ref name="ep6"/>


;{{Nihongo|[[Mikihiro Tsukimura]]|月村美樹彦|Tsukimura Mikihiro}}
; Hinako Ayakawa
:Voiced By: Ken Narita
: Hinako is Shungo's classmate with the short hair. She likes to tease Shungo, and later befriends Mayu.<ref name="ep3">''Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun'', episode 3</ref>
:Mikihiro is Mayu's older brother. He is an [[incubus]], the male counterpart of a [[succubus]]. He is very sneaky and devious, although not evil, and good at manipulating others to do what he wants, like Reika for instance. He seems to have known Ryōko for a long time, as they are often seen working together, even in flashbacks. In the anime, it is revealed that he owns a wheat farm, an animal ranch, and a fishing boat.


;{{Nihongo|Mitsuru Hosaka|保坂光流|Hosaka Mitsuru}}
; Irori Okushiro
:Voiced By: Kouki Miyata
: Shungo's classmate with the long green hair and glasses. She flirts with Shungo, and is later revealed to be a succubus when she kisses him  and drains his energy during the class field trip. However, she later reveals it was a ploy to win the affections of a jealous Tasuku, whom she really loves.<ref name="ep10">''Good Luck! Ninomiya kun'', episode 10</ref>
:Mitsuru, otherwise known chiefly as Hosaka, is an employee of the Hōjō organization. He is a student council member, and Reika's main assistant. He is prone to being slapped and beaten by Reika. Nonetheless, he demonstrates the ability to pack a punch himself when he manages to sneak and knock down several guards seemingly bare-handed before rescuing Shungo, Mayu and Reika one time; and being able to leap off the balcony of a multi-story building, but is simply docile towards Reika. His speed, power and agility also seems to surpass Shungo, but his endurance is low, so if a punch lands, he falls much quicker. He also, like Shungo, seems to not be affected by Mayu's succubus powers for reasons unexplained.
 
; Tasuku Okushiro
: Shungo's schoolmate with short green hair. He tries to interfere in Shungo and Mayu's relationship in order to get revenge from a fight many years ago, and is jealous because Irori kissed Shungo.<ref name="ep10"/>


;{{Nihongo|Shinobu Kirishima|霧島 しのぶ|Kirishima Shinobu}}
:Voiced By: Saeko Chiba
:Kirishima is a maid in the service of the Hōjō family. She sees it as her duty to watch over Reika. She carries a wakizashi sword. Unlike Hosaka who uses relatively casual (though not rude) speech patterns with Reika, Kirishima uses only Japanese honorifics towards Reika, but quickly reverts back to blunt speech towards Shungo, whom she thinks is not worthy of Reika, and is always trying to "execute" him.

Characters

Shungo Ninomiya (二ノ宮峻護 Ninomiya Shungo?)
Voiced by: Junji Majima, Ayahi Takagaki (young), Takuma Terashima (first radio drama)
Shungo, the title character, is a high school guy who trains in the martial arts.[2] He often shows self-restraint from his female schoolmates, who enjoy flirting with and teasing him.

Mayu Tsukimura (月村真由 Tsukimura Mayu?)
Voiced by: Mai Kadowaki, Umeka Shouji (young), Yuko Goto (first radio drama)
Mayu is a succubus who is sent to live with Shungo to practice getting over her fear of men. Because she cannot control her powers, she naturally attracts men as if they were zombies, and knocks them out with her power when they get too close. Her clumsiness and ditzy personality often gets her in embarrassing situations such as spraying herself with water while wearing a tight white shirt, or frequently falling on top of Shungo.[3][4] However, she is sometimes lucky in getting out of dangerous situations, as demonstrated in the remote island storyline.[5] She wears bat wing hair clips. It is later revealed that she, Reika, and Shungo have known each other as childhood friends.[6]
Reika Houjou (北条麗華 Hōjō Reika?)
Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro, Yuki Matsuoka (first radio drama)
Reika is the student council president at Shungo's school, and an heiress to a large conglomerate called the Houjou Concern.[2] She acts proud and haughty,[2] and bothers Shungo regularly. However, after being filmed in an embarrassing video where she fails to seduce Shungo, she agrees to become Shungo's maid and lives with him.[4] It is later revealed that she is a succubus who harbors a dark and serious alternate personality that occasionally manifests, as well as a childhood past relationship with Shungo.[7][2] In the anime, she is involved in many of the Houjou Concern's businesses including influencing national policies, meeting with dignitaries[8] and creating corporate products.[9] In the anime, her alternate personality tries to take Shungo for her own.[10]

Voiced by: Michiko Neya, Naomi Shindou (first radio drama)
Shungo's older sister who works as a mercenary.[3] In the anime, she joins the school staff as a nurse.[4][8] She carries a camcorder and director's megaphone where she films and directs Mayu in roleplaying situations where she has to romantically interact with Shungo.[4]

Voiced by: Ken Narita, Daisuke Hirakawa (first radio drama)
Mikihiro is Mayu's older brother. He is an incubus, the male counterpart of a succubus.[3] He enjoys manipulating Reika and others to do what he wants. He and Ryōko are long-time friends, as they are often seen working together,[5] even in flashbacks. In the anime episode where Shungo searches for ramen ingredients, Mikihiro happens to own the related businesses: a wheat farm, an animal ranch, and a fishing boat.[9]
Mitsuru Hosaka (保坂光流 Hosaka Mitsuru?)
Voiced by: Kouki Miyata, Yuka Inokuchi (first radio drama)
Mitsuru is a senior student to Shungo, and Reika's main assistant both at school and at home.[4] He has martial arts abilities that rival Shungo's.[5][1]
Shinobu Kirishima (霧島 しのぶ Kirishima Shinobu?)
Voiced by: Saeko Chiba
Kirishima is the head maid for Reika's family. She carries a wakizashi sword, ready to execute Shungo, whom she thinks is not worthy of Reika. She uses Japanese honorifics towards Reika, but quickly reverts back to blunt speech towards Shungo. In the anime, she joins the cast after the gang spend a vacation on a private island.[5]

However, she later reveals it was a ploy to win the affections of a jealous Tasuku, whom she really loves.[6]
Tasuku Okushiro
Shungo's schoolmate with short green hair. He tries to interfere in Shungo and Mayu's relationship in order to get revenge from a fight many years ago, and is jealous because Irori kissed Shungo.[6]
