Lucky ☆ Star's story portrays the lives of several school girls attending a Japanese high school with a very loose humor tone. The main heroine is Konata Izumi, an athletic and intelligent girl who, despite these attributes, is not in a sports club, and her grades remain low. Her laziness at school is due to her love for anime and video games and lack of interest in anything else. The serialization began with the four main characters in their first year of high school: Konata Izumi, Kagami Hiiragi, Tsukasa Hiiragi, and Miyuki Takara. As the story progresses, they move onto their second and third year.
Konata Izumi, nicknamed "Kona-chan" by her friends, gets bored easily when something does not interest her. She can be smart, but she hates studying so her grades are a bit uneasy. However, she is an expert in pulling an "all-nighter" to study before a test. In contrast to her studying habits, she loves video games to the extent that she can compete against Kagami on knowledge of games.
In addition to video games, she loves anime which is due to her father's influence along with the games. Her father buys adult games for himself, so she is able to play and enjoy them as well. In fact, when she became eighteen, Konata was overjoyed since she could now go buy and play adult games legally.
Since she spends quite a large sum of money into video games and doujinshi, Konata was lucky enough to get a part-time job at a cosplay cafe. Continuing with her theme of playing video games, Konata plays the role of a male character in an online game and is married in that world. Her significant other in the game is ironically a male gamer using a female character. She often plays online games late into the night hence why she tends to fall asleep in class, which makes her a frequent victim to her teacher Nanako's fists.
Tsukasa Hiiragi, is the younger fraternal twin sister of Kagami, and lives in a six-member family household with her parents. She is in the same class as Konata though is not good at studying or at sports, but excels in cooking and is portrayed as a stereotypical clumsy person with a friendly disposition.
Kagami Hiiragi, is the older fraternal twin sister of Tsukasa. In school, her grades are excellent as she studies very hard. She was even the class president of her class in her first year. She is in a different class than Konata and Tsukasa, but she frequently comes to their class during lunch time to eat with them. Additionally, Kagami chose the humanities course in her second year so that she could be with her friends, but she was the only one separated into a different classroom; the same occurred in her third year. Kagami, seldomly referred to as "Kagamin", is a bit egotistic, and is somewhat weak in cooking.
Kagami is the stereotypical tsukkomi character, however, she is prone to become shy at times, making her a tsundere character as well. Much like Konata, Kagami likes video games, but plays a different genre than Konata: Kagami likes to play scroll-shooting games. She loves to read light novels, but she feels lonely because no one around her shares this interest.
Miyuki Takara is a young lady from a wealthy family who is beautiful, smart, and well-mannered. She was the president for her grade level in her first year when she became great friends with Kagami. Now Miyuki is the same class as Konata and Tsukasa. She seldom is a victim of her teacher Nanako's fists for going along with Konata (in sharp contrast to the large bump on the head that Konata received from Nanako). Miyuki is more relied on by her classmates in helping their studies than Nanako.
She is described as a stereotypical friendly meganekko.
Her vision is less than 0.1, though it used to be good until elementary school, when she began reading books in the dark after her mother dozed off while reading them to her in her bed. She likes to read books, but does not read light novels. Miyuki loves to sleep, and she always goes to sleep at eleven. She used to go to sleep much earlier at ten before her second year. She hates visits to the dentist, but frequently has to go to fix a loose crown or because of a tooth decays. On the rare occasion that she plays video games, her personality changes. More at:Wiki

p.s. i cant count how many times i watched that opening dance.
Well i just seen the lucky star OVA and i have to say it was great. i wish they would have made it into a movie instead but still it was classics. they even had lines from code geass, soul eater and sayonara zetsubou sensei.
