Age: 17 Birthday: March 3 Height: 161 cm Weight: 47 kg Blood type: AB Life Philosophy: "Beautiful" Ayane is a close friend of Sawako. She is the arguably the most mature of the group and she has a boyfriend in college as well as having her ears pierced multiple times. Initially the mangaka conceived of Yano and Yoshida as a pair, and in the first two chapters the two are difficult to tell apart. She then redrafted the characters, combing Yano's hair and styling it in a fashion that looks like a pony-tail. In Kurumi's fake rumors, it is said that Ayane has played more with more than 100 guys in middle school. In their current high school, it is said that Yano and Yoshida pretty much have authority in the year group. Perceptive and intelligent, a trait of Ayane's personality is that she gives just enough information to leave others wondering, thus forcing them to move forward, this as well as being able to figure out that it was Ume who spread the rumors and discovering that Sawako "liked" Kazehaya. Although she is usually calm and collected, she is easily infuriated if someone hurts Sawako and does not hesitate to attack the one responsible she believes is responsible (frequently Kazehaya) with kicks and sharp words. She's also fairly intimidating when angry, being called scary by Chizuru a number of times. As of Chapter 20 she broke up with her boyfriend, who had begun to become too possessive of her: calling her all times of the day, wondering what she has been up to, and the fact if she was with any guys. After she suggested they break up, he slapped her across the face. When he tried to apologize and ask her back, she realizes that the man she liked was not her boyfriend but rather, who he was when they started dating. Ayane had been a great friend to Sawako and Chizu, but still believes she isn't a kind person. In Chapter 45, when she confessed that she doesn't believe she is a kind person (compared to Sawako and Chizu) because of how cunning she can be in front of Pin, she dreads another full-of-himself lecture from a surprisingly quiet Pin, who instead stares at a candy she gave him because he was whining about not getting one after the festival. Then, Pin pats her on the head and reassures her that she is kind before walking up the stairs, leaving her speechless that he could actually show a serious side. Also, Kento shows attraction to her as well. However, on chapter 54, a guy named Motoki-kun from class B suddenly confessed to her and Ayane accepted it immediately (shown in chapter 55).
Nickname: Chizu Height: 1.67 m Weight: 53 kg Blood Type: A Birthday: June 1st Horoscope: Gemini Life philosophy: "Eat until 80% full" Yoshida Chizuru is another close friend of Sawako. She is the tomboy of the group, and she even admits this when Ryuu calls them brothers, where she argues about who is the older rather than that she is not a 'brother'. In Kurumi's fake rumours it was passed around that she was a former Yankee. She is a close childhood friend with Ryuu Sanada, who is also the son of the owner of her favorite ramen shop. She went to Kazehaya's middle school as well. She has a crush on Ryuu's brother, Tooru. Chizuru is mostly only the slower side of things; she did not realize that Kazehaya liked Sawako (even though she and Ayane planned many events for them) until late in the series, after the 2nd year in their school has started.
Blood type: A Birthdate: February 6 A student in Sawako's class during second year who sits next to her. When Sawako befriends Miura, Kazehaya becomes jealous of him as a potential rival for Sawako. He is interested in girls, particularly Sawako.
Age: 17 Birthday: May 15 Height: 175 cm (5'9") Weight: 60 kg (132 lbs.) Blood type: O Motto: Believe and pursue the truth. Kazehaya is Sawako's outgoing and friendly classmate, and is Sawako's sweet and friendly friend. He is so popular that during middle school, so many girls liked him that they formed a "Kazehaya is Everyone's" Alliance in order to maintain some level of peace among his admirers and more than half of these girls now attend the same high school. Kazehaya has held a long standing interest in Sawako and admits (though not to Sawako) that he likes her (he gets jealous easily), unaware that she feels the same for him. During their second year of high school, he begins to wonder if she actually likes him after she does not give him chocolates on Valentine's Day, not knowing that she had been too nervous to give him any. He seemingly becomes depressed and shows an expressionless face often. However, after being confronted by Ryuu (influenced by Chizuru) and Pin, Kazehaya goes to Sawako as his friends jokingly remark that he likes Sawako; however, Kazehaya takes the remark seriously and agrees, subsequently confessing directly to Sawako. However, after Sawako's misunderstanding of his confession, he believes she rejected him. However, as of chapter 41 was finally able to confess his feelings to Sawako and are officially dating.
Age: 15-17 Birthday: December 31 Height: 158 cm Weight: 44 kg Blood type: O Motto: One good deed per day. Sawako is a shy yet honest girl who is in search of friendship, but her resemblance to horror film character Sadako, Sawako's modesty, and her tendency to shy away from correcting people of misconceptions prevent her from doing so to the point most of the school believed her name was in fact Sadako. Thanks to Kazehaya's kind and open nature, she is able to gradually open up to her classmates, and talk to different people. With help from Kazehaya, Yano, and Yoshida she gradually begins to make friends. She is grateful (and at first, worships) Kazehaya for giving her the opportunities to make close friends, which came to include Yano, Yoshida, Kazehaya, and Ryu. Yano and Yoshida admit that Sawako's "like" towards Kazehaya might be even more than Yano and Yoshida themselves. She is rather short, in part because her father is as well and is surprisingly fast, which is revealed during a soccer match at the school's sports festival. During Yano and Yoshida's first visit to Sawako's house, Yoshida notes that Sawako's lips and figure looks like her mother's and most of Sawako's other features resemble her father's. A running gag is that she seems to take what people say seriously as well as over-analyze a situation, which tends to scare the people around her when she is deep in thought. When Kazehaya practically confessed right in front of her that he likes her, she believes it was a misunderstanding and that he was just saying he doesn't hate her. However, after having everything cleared up they officially start dating, though this only brings up rumours that she somehow used black magic to get him.
Birthday: December 2 Height: 1.79 m Weight: 75 kg Blood type: B Sign: Sagittarius Life philosophy: "Work silently" Sanada Ryuu is also one of Sawako's new group. He is quiet most of the time, but can still communicate well with Sawako (as they both don't talk much anyways). He is a close childhood friend with Chizuru. He is also good baseball mates with Kazehaya since they both played together in middle school. He has had a crush on Chizuru since they were little.
Age: 15-16 Blood type: AB Birthdate: 16th September Zodiac: Virgo A girl who appears friendly and sweet to everyone around her, she has had a huge crush on Kazehaya since their first year of middle school. She dislikes her given name, Ume, because it sounds old-fashioned and prefers to be called her nickname, "Kurumi." She is extremely jealous of Sawako, which led her to spread fake rumors of Sawako's only friends at the time, Yoshida and Yano, using Sawako's name. Kurumi does not attend the same class as Sawako or Kazehaya. She eventually confesses her love to Kazehaya, but receives an expected rejection. Because she is always surprised with Sawako's naiveté, Kurumi is able to become friends with her, as well as a rival for Kazehaya's affection. Following Kazehaya's rejection, she becomes colder to her classmates, but is able to finally express her true feelings and personality. (Source: Wikipedia)
