Synopsis
Girls Bravo features a young male student named Yukinari Sasaki who was teased and bullied by girls to the point that he developed an allergic reaction, breaking out in hives whenever he comes into contact with a female. One day, when he comes back from school, he falls into his bathtub and is transported to "Seiren", a mysterious world with a mostly female population. While Seiren is featured in several episodes, the majority of the series takes place in Japan.
Characters
Major characters
- Yukinari Sasaki (佐々木 雪成 Sasaki Yukinari?), the series main character. Because of his small stature and generally meek disposition, Yukinari has been bullied by girls his entire life and therefore suffers an allergic reaction that causes him to break out in hives whenever he comes into contact with a woman. One day, he falls in his bathtub and is transported to the alien world of Seiren, a planet where men comprise less than 10% of the population. Upon arriving in Seiren, Yukinari meets a young girl named Miharu who for some reason doesn't cause him to break out on contact. Yukinari has a bad habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This, along with other 'close encounters', gets him kicked, punched, and otherwise beaten up by Kirie. He lives alone in the anime. At the beginning of the manga he lives with his mother and works to keep Miharu's presence secret. Before the end of the first volume his mother leaves on a business trip and is not seen again.

Yuri Lowenthal (born on March 5, 1971 in Alliance Ohio) is a Voice actor that has voiced several Anime and Video game She has a mark shaped like three dots in a triangular arrangement on her forehead which provides her with several powers, such as the ability to transfer between Seiren and Earth and the power to create explosions whenever she's under emotional distress. She is also the only woman that can touch Yukinari without triggering his allergy. Miharu has an outrageous appetite and an impossibly rapid metabolism. She spends most of the series questioning her friends whether something is edible or not (like butterflies) and her continuous misunderstandings about earth (IE-believing that April Fools Day means that everyone on Earth lies for one day) is the title's primary source of humor. Despite this, she has a heart of gold, an explorers' fascination with earth and a genuinely open affection for Yukinari. She is an innocent girl who doesn't lose her temper even when made the target of Fukuyama's lecherous actions; unless in the process he eats or otherwise ruins whatever she happens to be eating at the time.

However, due to her physical aptitude and martial-art abilities, she always manages to turn the tables on him. She also sometimes punishes Yukinari for his 'perverted' actions, although they are accidental on Yukinari's part. Despite their somewhat turbulent relationship, it's occasionally hinted that she does actually possess deeper feelings for Yukinari. Because of her strong character, Kirie seems to attract a large number of admirers among the boys in her high school. In the anime she also attracts female admirers; specifically Kosame and Ms. Hijiri; much to her chagrin although in the manga Kirie was accosted by an alternate version of Risa when she entered a parallel world through an enchanted mirror in Fukuyama's house. A running joke throughout the series is Kirie's complete lack of cooking skills which result in the creation of food that's not only inedible but health hazardous as well. In fact, Fukuyama once ate a bento lunch prepared by her and fell ill, which grants him the opportunity to molest her even more. Kirie suffers an overwhelming fear of ghosts and the paranormal and despite her tomboyish character enjoys collecting dolls.

He is a severe androphobe to the point that he's developed an allergy that causes him to break out with a rash whenever he comes into contact with another male. Extremely stealthful, he has the ability to suddenly appear without the others noticing until he announces his presence whereupon he either gropes or strips the girls of their clothing which always results in him receiving a severe beating from Kirie. Despite his own lecherous behaviour, Fukuyama is highly protective of his younger sister Lisa and strongly objects to her affections for Yukinari.

Liam O'Brien (Born May 28, 1976) is an American voice actor best known for his role as Gaara of the Desert on Naruto. Lisa is a master of black magic which has caused more than a few problems throughout the series (IE-infesting her family's mansion with ghosts, summoning a giant octopus in the school swimming pool, causing an explosion within a shopping center). Lisa is constantly accompanied by Hayate and Kosame who cater to her every whim such as gathering intelligence or even kidnapping. She has an infatuation with Yukinari, much to Kirie's dismay, and often employs her magic to try and get closer to him with predictably disastrous results. Although she dislikes Miharu at times, she is very fond of Ebi who reminds her of the pet cat she owned when she was a little girl. In the anime, Ebi's girl form reminds her of the beloved doll she used to spend her days with, which she was reunited with later on in the series.

- Koyomi Hare Nanaka (コヨミ・ハレ・ナナカ?), a resident of Seiren who suffers a paralyzing fear of men. --> Yuki Matsuoka (松岡 由貴 Matsuoka Yuki, born September 13, 1970) is a Seiyū from the Hunter MacKenzie Austin (Born March 22, 1966 in San Diego California) is an American Voice actor who has had roles in various Anime Her phobia is only made worse by being one of Fukuyama's favorite targets which results in her keeping a diary of the many times he's accosted her in the manga. Originally sent to Earth on a mission from the Space Travel Agency to 'retrieve' Miharu, she later moves into Yukinari's house on a prolonged mission to find Maharu, Miharu's sister, a groom. Of course, her male phobia makes the act of even talking to a man nearly impossible. In the anime, Koyomi is also searching for her long-lost father, a native of Earth, whom she later reunites with at the series' end. Koyomi's favorite pastime is reading and she has a natural talent for table tennis. In the anime she's even won the Seiren tournament five years in a row. Koyomi's mother possessed a Seikon mark like Miharu and Koyomi herself possesses a dormant form of Seikon which allowed her to create a portal to Seiren after Miharu was kidnapped in the anime. Koyomi in the anime also adopts a large python as a pet after being tricked into wearing it over herself during Fukuyama's Cosplay Mahjong game, which is ironic considering her fear of men and snakes being a phalic symbol.
- Voiced by: Masayo Kurata (Japanese), Carrie Savage (English)
- Tomoka Lana Jude (トモカ・ラナ・ジュード Tomoka Rana Jūdo?), a resident of Seiren who was sent to aide Koyomi in finding Maharu a groom after Koyomi's less than productive efforts. Carrie Savage is a American Voice actor and actor known for her role of Rakka in Haibane Renmei and Hakufu Sonsaku in Ikki Tousen Although a child, Tomoka deeply resents being treated as one and insists that she's as mature as anyone else, despite frequent actions by her which prove otherwise. Unlike the other female characters, she gets along fairly well with Fukuyama (presumably because she's too young for him to have any sexual interest in) who she refers to as "big-brother" and the two occasionally partner up to obtain some mutual objective of theirs. In the anime, Tomoka frequently uses Ebi as a makeshift club for hitting almost anything and anyone. Tomoka can also use transformation magic, and in the anime becomes friends with Lisa after conceding defeat in a magical duel. She is also obsessed with Poyon, her favourite TV show character. Because she's a child, Tomoka is able to have contact with Yukinari without triggering his female allergy. In the manga, Tomoka is later revealed to be a genius capable of instantly answering a complex math equation from a college entrance exam.

- Ebi (えび?), a rare and magical creature from Seiren; Ebi in the manga was accidentally summoned by Miharu during a bath whereas in the anime she was accidentally brought to earth in Tomoka's luggage. is a Seiyū who voiced Momiji Sohma in Fruits Basket, Tomoka Rana Jude in Girls Bravo, and Mitsukuni Haninozuka in In both version, Miharu adopts her as a pet although in the anime she originally wondered if Ebi would taste good. She resembles a plump miniature seal with the face of a cat and a pair of large bobbing antenna, which causes Miharu to claim she resembles a shrimp and is where her name came from (ebi being the Japanese word for shrimp). Ebi in the anime suffers a great deal of torment at the hands of Tomoka who uses her as a flail, fishing bait, a handball, or to display Tomoka's magical knowledge by turning Ebi into a small green-haired girl. Although in the manga Tomoka only did it briefly as Yukinari and Kirie showed more attention to the transformed Ebi than her. Ebi is surprisingly intelligent and during a Mahjong match in the anime, she thought through the entire play in her mind. Unfortunately, Tomoka was a novice and Ebi couldn't speak human language, rendering her plan fruitless. Ebi in the anime is also able to shoot a powerful beam attack (called the E-beam by Tomoka) from her mouth.

Due to Seiren's low male population and the fact that she's inching dangerously close to 30, Maharu assigns both Koyomi and Tomoka to find a man of her own on earth.
