Akari is the lead girl in this slice-of-life story. She’s very demure, gentle and kind. She’s the sort of girl who lets her affection show through her actions.   One of her most cherished memories is from a rainy day in grade school, when she had dropped all her books in a puddle on the ground. She cried because her books were ruined, but Hiroyuki came and picked up her things, and told her to take his books instead.   Akari’s hobbies are cooking, and collecting teddy bears – her room is filled with them.
