Ayaka Kamine

Ayaka Kamine is a second-year high school student and tea ceremony club member whose quiet, reserved nature makes it difficult for her to openly express her feelings. After harboring a long-standing secret crush on her classmate Takeshi Goda, she finally musters the courage to confess, and the two begin dating. Though she often finds herself frustrated by his obliviousness, Ayaka gradually pushes past her own shyness—especially in moments alone together, where a surprisingly bold and affectionate side of her emerges. She stands as the story's quintessential portrait of clumsy, wholehearted first love.
