One notable example is Kokona Haruka, who initially had a generic character until she became the test subject for new elimination methods, giving her a more fleshed-out backstory. Another character, Genka Kunahito, the guidance counselor responsible for punishing rule-breaking student Ayano Aishi, gained a lot of fan appreciation for her endearing personality and dedication to helping students.
Several characters, such as Nemesis-kun and the gender-flipped Bishōnen rivals from the April Fools' Day 2017 video, have attracted a significant amount of attention from fans.

Some characters, like Mr. Jazzy Feet, the Music Club's pet turtle, have gained a following due to their adorable nature and humorous status. Hazu Kashibuchi, a shy character from the sewing room, is also popular among fans. The Yandere character trope, featuring characters who fiercely compete for the affection of their loved ones, has become a favorite among many.
