Hikari Kuroda

Known for her distinctive squid-ring hairstyle, this temperamental first-year student possesses a surprisingly social and friendly nature despite her tendency to whine or pry into others' business. Though she initially holds a prejudice against Makoto, she eventually develops a closer bond with him. A close friend of Sekai, she also harbors an unrequited crush on Taisuke Sawanaga. Outside of school, she helps run her family’s popular cafe, which is renowned for its delicious lemon custard pie.
