Shio Minamo

__Height:__ 157 cm One of the childhood friends of the protagonist, Yunosuke Kai—nicknamed "Eeyuu." She lives right next door to Eeyuu. While she has a serious personality, she is somewhat oblivious when it comes to romance. She has harbored feelings for Eeyuu since they were young and has made various attempts to get closer to him; however, progress has been slow. This is partly because Eeyuu is overly serious, but also because—despite being an avid reader of romantic comedy manga featuring childhood friends (which she, too, reads on the sly)—he goes to great lengths to avoid any such "rom-com" developments whenever they arise with her or his other childhood-friend heroines. Furthermore, she is aware that another childhood friend, Akari, also has feelings for Eeyuu, which leaves her feeling quite anxious.
