Ai-chan

Ai is a first-year high school girl whose striking appearance is matched only by her radiant personality. Every Monday morning, she crosses paths with a salaryman she fondly calls 'big brother' on their shared commute, lifting his case of the Monday blues with cheerful conversation and slice-of-life anecdotes. At school, she takes her role as class representative seriously, while after the bell rings she ties on an apron and charms customers at a local bakery. Her effortlessly genuine nature makes her a beloved presence wherever she goes.
