Ritsuka Nakano

Recognizable by her vibrant red twintails, this energetic fifteen-year-old is Hiyori’s devoted best friend and a dedicated member of the archery club. She played a pivotal role in encouraging Hiyori to reintegrate into school life and socialize again. Though she once experienced popularity and brief romantic interest in middle school, Ritsuka remains fiercely loyal to her friend, even choosing her bond with Hiyori over a potential boyfriend after he insulted her companion.
