Sanae Furukawa

As Nagisa’s devoted mother, this youthful-looking woman is frequently mistaken for her daughter's older sister. While she often displays a sensitive, childish, and even tearful temperament, she remains a remarkably dependable pillar of strength during difficult moments. Alongside her husband Akio, she manages the local Furukawa Bakery, though her experimental and unpalatable bread recipes rarely find customers. When she isn't attempting culinary mishaps, she spends her time working as a dedicated tutor for neighborhood children.
