Maki is a classmate and friend of Nagisa. She has short hair styled in short pigtails. She is friends with Nagisa and is secretly jealous of Nagisa's relationship with her boyfriend, as she too liked Kashiwagi's Boyfriend, but could not confess before. As a branch member of the Shinomiya clan, she is Kaguya's second cousin twice removed so she sometimes refers to Kaguya as "Auntie". Miyuki and Yuu observe she acts very tsundere (cold on the outside but wanting to be affectionate), and similar to Kaguya in personality. She declares Yuu and Miyuki as her friends, due to their support in helping her process her failed romance, much to Kaguya's horror
