==Plot==
Yukinari Sasaki is an average high school student who is frequently ridiculed by girls to the point that he developed an allergic reaction to them. As a result, he breaks out in [[Urticaria|hives]] whenever he comes into contact with a female. One day, when he returns home from school, he is kicked into his bathtub by his neighbor Kirie Kojima, but is transported to {{nihongo|Seiren|セーレン|Sēren|"Siren" in the Tokyopop manga translation}}, a mysterious world with a mostly female population. He befriends Miharu Sena Kanaka, who ends up following him to Earth. Other Seiren girls with various motives soon visit and join the household. They are taken on many adventures as Miharu discovers the wonders of Earth.

==Characters==
===Main===
;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Yukinari Sasaki}}|佐々木 雪成|Sasaki Yukinari}}
{{voiced by|[[Mamiko Noto]], [[Daisuke Sakaguchi]] (Drama CDs)|[[Yuri Lowenthal]]}}<ref name="carlo review">{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/girls-bravo/dvd-2|title=Girls Bravo|first=Carlo |last=Santos|date=October 12, 2005|work=Anime News Network| access-date =March 26, 2015}}</ref> 
: Yukinari has been ridiculed by girls all his life, and has developed an extreme case of [[gynophobia]] in which he suffers an allergic reaction whenever he comes into contact with one. One day, after he is kicked into his bathtub by Kirie Kojima, his next door neighbor, he is transported to the alien world of Seiren, a planet where men comprise less than 10% of the population. He meets Miharu who does not trigger his allergy. She follows him back to Earth and is the main cause of his misadventures involving girls and subsequent abuse by Kirie.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Miharu Sena Kanaka}}|ミハル·セナ·カナカ}}
{{voiced by|[[Ayako Kawasumi]], Kawasumi (Drama CDs)|[[Michelle Ruff]]}}<ref name="carlo review"/> 
: Miharu is a resident of Seiren who pulls Yukinari Sasaki to Seiren and follows him back to Earth to live with him. She has a mark on her forehead shaped like three dots in a triangle called Seikon, which provides her with several powers, including the ability to travel between Seiren and Earth and the power to create explosions whenever she is in emotional distress. She is also the only woman who can touch Yukinari without triggering his allergy. Miharu has a large appetite and a rapid [[metabolism]]. On Earth, much of her focus is in questioning her friends as to whether something is edible or not (like butterflies), and her continuous misunderstandings about Earth (such as believing that April Fools' Day means that everyone on Earth lies for one day) are the title's primary source of humor. Despite this, she has a heart of gold, an explorer's fascination with Earth, and has a close relationship with Yukinari. She is an extremely innocent girl who does not show any discomfort with being partially or fully naked in front of Yukinari, and she does not lose her temper even when made the target of Fukuyama's lecherous actions, unless the process involves food or disrupts her eating time.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Kirie Kojima}}|小島 桐絵|Kojima Kirie}}
{{voiced by|[[Chiwa Saitō]],<ref name="ep 4"/> [[Masumi Asano]] (Drama CDs)| [[Stephanie Sheh|Lulu Chiang]]}}<ref name="ep 4">{{cite episode|url=http://www.hulu.com/watch/227685#i0,p0,d0 |title=Bravo in the Mansion! |number=4 |series=Girls Bravo |season=1 |via=Hulu |at=Closing credits |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117023351/http://www.hulu.com/watch/227685 |archive-date=November 17, 2015 }}</ref> 
: Kirie is Yukinari Sasaki's next door neighbor, classmate, and childhood friend who takes care of him from time to time since. She is especially well-endowed, which makes her a natural target for Kazuharu Fukuyama's perversions. However, due to her physical aptitude and martial-arts abilities, she always defeats him. She regularly beats up Yukinari Sasaki for his bad luck. Kirie inadvertently sends Yukinari to Seiren for the first time when she slugs him for innocently walking in on her when she was showering in his bathroom. Despite their often turbulent relationship, Kirie has a deep affection for Yukinari and usually tries to help him. Because of her strong character and appearance, Kirie attracts a large number of admirers among the boys in her high school, in particular Kazuharu Fukuyama who often molests and gropes her whenever he has the chance to. In the manga, Kirie is accosted by an alternate version of Lisa Fukuyama when she enters a parallel world through an enchanted mirror in Fukuyama's house. In the anime adaptation, she also attracts female admirers, specifically Kosame and Hijiri Kanata, much to her displeasure. A running gag throughout the series is Kirie's complete lack of cooking skills which result in the creation of food that is inedible and dangerous. Kirie has a fear of ghosts and the paranormal, and despite her tomboyish character enjoys collecting dolls.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Kazuharu Fukuyama}}|福山 和春|Fukuyama Kazuharu}}
{{voiced by|[[Ryōtarō Okiayu]], [[Shin-ichiro Miki]] (Drama CDs)|[[Liam O'Brien]]}}<ref name="carlo review"/><ref name="ep 4"/> of which O'Brien received a nomination for [[American Anime Awards#Best Actor in a Comedy|Best Actor in a Comedy]] at the [[American Anime Awards]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/10043.html |title=Finalists for the American Anime Awards |work=ICv2 |date=February 8, 2007 | access-date =August 25, 2013}}</ref> 
: Fukuyama is a classmate of Yukinari Sasaki and Kirie Kojima. Fukuyama is a rich, powerful, corrupt, perverted, selfish, and arrogant boy, and while he often chases girls and insults Yukinari by calling him {{nihongo|"Puny-Nari"|チビなり|Chibi-nari}}, he does show a serious, caring side in critical situations. He suffers androphobia to the point that he has developed an allergy that causes him to break out with a rash whenever he comes into contact with another male. He often appears without the others noticing until he announces his presence, whereupon he either gropes or strips the girls of their clothing, which always earns him a severe beating from Kirie. For unknown reasons despite sexually assaulting many girls including Kirie herself, he has never suffered consequences from the law. Despite his own lecherous behavior, Fukuyama is highly protective of his younger sister, Lisa, and strongly objects to her affections for Yukinari.

; {{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Lisa Fukuyama}}|福山 リサ|Fukuyama Risa|spelled as "Risa Fukuyama" in the Tokyopop manga translation}}
{{voiced by|[[Yuki Matsuoka]], [[Satomi Kōrogi]] (Drama CDs)|Hunter MacKenzie Austin}}<ref name="ep 4"/> 
: Lisa is Kazuharu Fukuyama's slightly insane younger sister. Lisa is a master of black magic, which causes several issues throughout the series such as infesting her family's mansion with ghosts, summoning a giant octopus in the school swimming pool, and 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 develops an infatuation for Yukinari after his appearance matches a description in her horoscope for her soul mate and often employs her magic to get closer to him—with predictably disastrous results. Although she considers Miharu a rival, she is very fond of Ebi, who reminds her of the pet cat she owned when she was a little girl. In the anime adaptation, Ebi's girl form reminds her of a doll she used to spend her days with, which she reunites with later on thanks to Tomoka's magic.<ref name="s1e9"/>

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Koyomi Hare Nanaka}}|コヨミ·ハレ·ナナカ}}
{{voiced by|[[Masayo Kurata]], [[Hekiru Shiina]] (Drama CDs)|[[Carrie Savage]]}}
: Koyomi is an androphobic resident of Seiren. She has fear of men on Earth and her phobia is only made worse by being one of Kazuharu Fukuyama's favorite targets; in the manga, she keeps a diary of how many times he has accosted her. Originally sent to Earth on a mission from the Space Travel Agency to 'retrieve' Miharu Sena Kanaka, she later moves into Yukinari's house along with her companion Tomoka Lana Jude on a prolonged mission to find a husband for Miharu's sister Maharu. However, her fear of men makes the act of even talking to a man nearly impossible. Koyomi's favorite pastime is reading, but she has a natural talent for table tennis, having won a tournament for a similar sport on Seiren.  In the anime adaptation, Koyomi is also searching for her father, a native of Earth, whom she eventually reunites with. Koyomi's mother possessed a Seikon mark, and Koyomi herself possesses a dormant form of Seikon allowing her to create a portal to Seiren after Miharu is kidnapped by Hijiri Kanata. After she loses in Fukuyama's [[Cosplay]] Mahjong game, she is forced to wear nothing but a python,<ref name="s2e18"/> which she later ironically adopts as a pet.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Tomoka Lana Jude}}|トモカ·ラナ·ジュード|Tomoka Rana Jūdo}}
{{voiced by|[[Ayaka Saitō]]|J-Ray <!-- Hochfield --->}}
: Tomoka is a resident of Seiren who is sent to aid Koyomi Hare Nanaka in finding Miharu's older sister Maharu a groom after her less than productive efforts. Although a child, Tomoka deeply resents being treated as one and insists that she is as mature as anyone else, despite frequent actions by her which prove otherwise. She gets along fairly well with Fukuyama, whom she later refers to as an older brother after the two team up to obtain some mutual objective. She has developed a small crush on him but it is not something he is aware of. Tomoka can also use transformation magic. In the anime adaptation, Tomoka frequently uses Ebi as a makeshift club for hitting almost anything and anyone; she becomes friends with Lisa after conceding defeat in a magical duel. She is also obsessed with Poyon, her favorite TV show character.<ref name="s1e9"/> Because she is a child, Tomoka is able to have contact with Yukinari without triggering his female allergy. She also looks up to Kirie as an older sister. For example, she follows Kirie's example of drop-kicking Fukuyama right in the face. Tomoka is later revealed to be a genius capable of instantly answering a complex math equation from a college entrance exam.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Ebi}}|えび}}]
{{voiced by|[[Tomoko Kaneda]]|[[Megan Hollingshead|Karen Thompson]]}}

In the Mahjong episode, Voiced by [[Fumihiko Tachiki]] (Japanese); [[Dameon Clarke]] (English)
: Ebi is a creature from Seiren that 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 (''ebi'' is the Japanese word for shrimp). She is accidentally summoned by Miharu during a bath, and becomes a pet for Miharu and the girls.<ref name="s1e7">{{cite episode|title=Look for a Groom Bravo!|network=[[Fuji Television]]|series=Girls Bravo|season=1|number=7|date=August 31, 2004}}</ref> In the anime adaptation, Tomoka pulls her out of her bag.<ref name="s1e7"/> She suffers a great deal of torment at the hands of Tomoka, who uses her as a club, flail, fishing bait, or handball. When Tomoka transforms Ebi into a girl for a brief amount of time, Yukinari and Kirie pay more attention to the transformed Ebi than to her.<ref name="s1e9">{{cite episode|title=Bravo at the Great Magic War!|network=[[Fuji Television]]|series=Girls Bravo|season=1|number=9|date=September 14, 2004}}</ref> In the anime episode where the gang play [[Mahjong]], Ebi is able to think through the entire play in her mind but is unable to communicate the move to novice Tomoka, rendering her plan fruitless.<ref name="s2e18">{{cite episode|title=Bravo at Mahjong!|network=[[WOWOW]]|series=Girls Bravo|season=2|number=18|date=March 10, 2005}}</ref> Also in the anime, Ebi can shoot a powerful beam attack called the E-beam from her mouth although it takes a while to recharge.

===Supporting===
;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Maharu Sena Kanaka}}|マハル·セナ·カナカ}}
: Maharu is Miharu's well-endowed older sister. She is very determined and will not hesitate to use violence to get her way. Although initially jealous of Miharu's relationship with Yukinari Sasaki, she eventually gives them her blessing. Much to Yukinari's dismay, that does not stop her from flirting and fondling him whenever she gets a chance. Due to Seiren's low male population and the fact that she is close to 30, Maharu assigns both Koyomi and Tomoka to find a man of her own on Earth. Though flirtatious, she is, in fact, quite picky by Seiren standards, rejecting Kazuharu Fukuyama immediately upon discovering his perverted nature. In the epilogue for the anime adaptation, she proposes to Hayate. Despite proposing to him, getting married in the manga, and giving Yukinari and Miharu her blessing, she is still obsessed with Yukinari, loves him, flirts with him, and wants to be with him. Maharu is voiced by [[Sayaka Ohara]] in Japanese and by [[Megan Hollingshead]] (credited as "Karen Thompson") in English. [[Kotono Mitsuishi]] provides her voice for the Drama CDs.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Lilica Stacy}}|梨々花・ステイジー|Ririka Suteijī}}
: Lilica is the Fukuyamas' chief maid. She is stoic and polite, even when Kirie destroys some expensive equipment. However, she shows shock when Kirie and Yukinari introduce themselves as Fukuyama's friends. She later reveals that she has fought in military operations in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]], [[Somalia]], [[Chechnya]], and [[Afghanistan]]. She is highly intelligent and is sometimes seen with a laptop which operates mechanical devices within the Fukuyama mansion, and also a [[spy satellite]], which explains how Kazuharu Fukuyama constantly finds Koyomi and the others. In the anime adaptation, Lilica places Mamoru Machida as an apprentice after being impressed by his desire to clean the world. She is also occasionally hinted to be in love with Fukuyama. Lilica is voiced by [[Natsuko Kuwatani]] in Japanese and by [[Tricia Dickson|Wendy Tomson]] in English.<ref name="ep 4"/>

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Hayate}}|疾風}}
: Hayate is one of Lisa Fukuyama's attendants. While he only makes a handful of appearances in the manga, Hayate in the anime forms a strong rivalry/friendship with Tomoka, and the two occasionally battle one another in friendly duels. Hayate is a very calm, loyal, and serious individual who will go to great lengths for his mistress, Lisa; this usually involves doing some sort of research or private investigating. Tomoka nicknames him "ninja" because of his stealthy ways, only revealing himself when attending to Lisa, or to attack. Hayate is voiced by [[Takanori Hoshino]] in Japanese and by [[Patrick Seitz]] in English.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Kosame}}|小雨}}
: Kosame is Lisa Fukuyama's second attendant. In the anime adaptation, Kosame is also a considerably stronger fighter than Kirie Kojima, and after fighting with Kirie, she falls in love with her. Her obsession is so strong that just being in Kirie's presence is enough to make Kosame either grope or make some other pass at her, which usually requires Hayate to rein her in. When not fawning over Kirie, Kosame is as stoic a figure as Hayate and frequently uses her gun to either pry information out of others or to force them into doing her bidding. Kosame is voiced by [[Nozomi Masu]] in Japanese and by Zarah Little in English.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Nanae Kuh Haruka}}|ナナエ・クウ・ハルカ|Nanae Kū Haruka}}
: Nanae is Koyomi and Tomoka's superior in the Space Travel Agency. Nanae is in charge of the missing persons department and assigns agents to find and retrieve residents of Seiren who have accidentally been transported to Earth. In the anime adaptation, she helps Maharu Sena Kanaka contact Yukinari so that the others can rescue Miharu. Nanae is voiced by [[Yukiko Iwai (voice actress)|Yukiko Iwai]] in Japanese and by [[Tara Sands|Rita Stephens]] in English.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Mamoru Machida}}|町田 守|Machida Mamoru}}
:Mamoru is an [[Obsessive–compulsive disorder|obsessive-compulsive]] classmate of Yukinari Sasaki's. He dons an alter-ego, Lightning Squadron Mamo Ranger - a parody of the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series - in the pursuit of his passion for cleaning and pointing out litterbugs, although at first glance his 'squadron' consists of only him. Extremely accident prone, he tends to cause more problems than he solves, whereupon his deluded sense of reality causes him to blame his "villainous opponents." He later drafts the others into the Mamo Rangers, although they want absolutely nothing to do with it. In the anime adaptation, Mamoru becomes an apprentice to Lilica which turns him from a mild annoyance into a serious threat to public safety. Mamoru is voiced by [[Hiroyuki Yoshino]] in Japanese and by [[Sam Riegel]] in English.

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Hijiri Kanata}}|彼方 ヒジリ|Kanata Hijiri|spelled as "Hiziri Kanata" in the Tokyopop manga translation}}
: Hijiri is a strict guidance counselor who joins Yukinari's high school. In the anime adaptation, she serves as a subordinate for Yukina, whose mission is to observe and eventually kidnap Miharu. Hijiri had been obsessed with Miharu since they were both children, and Yukina promises to give Miharu to her in exchange for helping her achieve her goals. However, Hijiri is eventually defeated by Kirie, and forgets about Miharu and begins to obsess over Kirie instead. Hijiri is voiced by [[Aya Hisakawa]] in Japanese and by [[Erica Shaffer]] in English.

;Mrs. Sasaki
:Mrs. Sasaki is Yukinari Sasaki's mother. As Yukinari keeps Miharu Sena Kanaka a secret from her, Mrs. Sasaki begins to fear that the strange occurrences in her house were due to a ghost, but eventually decides not to worry about it since all the "ghost" did was eat all the food. She later leaves Yukinari to be with his father, who is on a business trip.

; Vegetable Store Keeper
: A local grocer who befriends Miharu at the start of the series, and gives her the nickname Banana Girl. He is voiced by [[Takashi Nagasako]] in Japanese and by [[Doug Stone (voice actor)|Doug Stone]] in English.

;{{nihongo|The Boss|弟分|Otōbun}}
: A character exclusive to the anime adaptation, The Boss is an overweight and soft-spoken thug dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and is usually accompanied by an exuberant man in a blue leisure suit. The thugs cross pass Yukinari Sasaki and his friends throughout the series. However, after Miharu Sena Kanaka is kidnapped by Hijiri Kanata, the Boss helps Yukinari realize that the only way to get Miharu back is to fight for her with everything he has got. When his friend later asks why he never spoke before, the Boss tells him that he simply never had anything to say. The Boss is voiced by [[Toshihide Tsuchiya]] in Japanese and by J.C. Miller in English.

;{{nihongo|{{vanchor|Hakana}}|はかな}}{{importance inline|reason=episodic character|date=May 2020}}
: A ghost who has been haunting the Fukuyamas' private hot spring. Last winter, she was bathing at the spring when a pervert caught and groped her. When she tried to catch him, she slipped on a wet rock, hit her head and died. In order to move on to the afterlife, she wants to catch a pervert. Lisa suggests they re-enact the scene, and volunteers Yukinari and herself, although Hakana accidentally possesses Kirie instead. When Kirie tries to resist the groping, Hakana realizes that Kirie likes Yukinari. When Kirie and Yukinari hug, Hakana is freed; she thanks the group and tells Kirie what a wonderful person Yukinari is. She is voiced by [[Ai Shimizu]] in Japanese and by [[Tara Platt]] in English.<ref name="s1e10">{{cite episode | series=Girls Bravo | series-link=Girls Bravo | season=1 | number=10 | network= Fuji Televlsion |date=September 21, 2004 | title= Bravo at the Hot Springs  | at=Closing credits}}</ref>

;{{nihongo|{{visible anchor|Yukina}}|ユキナ}}
: A character exclusive to the anime adaptation, Yukina is the ruthless leader of the Space Management Bureau's Special Forces Division in Seiren, who also has the power of Seikon. Because of her slight build and Seikon markings covering her body, Yukina felt that no man would ever love her and developed a condition that causes her to break out in hives upon contact with men. Her illness and anti-masculine prejudices are what cause Yukina to decide that if she cannot be loved by men then no one in Seiren can. Eventually, Yukina has her subordinate Hijiri Kanata send Miharu Sena Kanaka back to Seiren to permanently seal the gateway to Earth using her power, making Seiren a "woman-only paradise". But after being shown kindness by Yukinari Sasaki, Yukina falls in love with him and releases Miharu. Yukina is voiced by [[Sakura Nogawa]] in Japanese and by [[Elise Baughman]] in English.

==Reception==
Chris Johnston of ''[[Newtype USA]]'' comments that "The 17+ rating is well-earned," and that "The raunchy, raucous humor is definitely not for young ones."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Johnston |first=Chris |title=Girls Bravo Volume 1 |work=Newtype USA |volume=4 |issue=6 |page=176 |date=June 2005 |issn=1541-4817 }}</ref>
Carlo Santos of ''[[Anime News Network]]'' writes "Girls Bravo has moments of promise as a screwball comedy, but as a whole, it falls victim to the same flaws of every other harem anime."<ref name="dvd1review">{{cite web |last=Santos |first=Carlo |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/girls-bravo/dvd-1 |title=Girls Bravo DVD 1 |work=Anime News Network |date=June 29, 2005 | access-date =February 18, 2011 }}</ref>
''Mania'' reviewer Chris Beveridge wrote "Though Girls Bravo does dip into some of the traditional elements of the harem anime design, it's naughtier and slightly raunchier take along is a welcome change for a lot of it."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Beveridge |first=Chris |url=http://www.mania.com/girls-bravo-vol-2_article_77215.html |title=Girls Bravo Vol. #2 |work=Mania |date=August 29, 2005 | access-date =February 18, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110417025435/http://www.mania.com/girls-bravo-vol-2_article_77215.html |archive-date=April 17, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
In his review Stig Høgset of ''[[THEM Anime Reviews]]'' wrote that "Characters get kicked, kneed in the face, stomped on and god knows what else" and that "the show is THICK with fan service that, while censored in the fansubs, might be VERY explicit in any potential future release."<ref>{{cite web |last=Høgset |first=Stig |url=http://www.themanime.org/viewreview.php?id=763 |title=Girls Bravo |work=[[THEM Anime Reviews]] | access-date =February 18, 2011 }}</ref>
