Mai Niijima

The sole daughter of the Niijima household, she fell into a deep slump following her mother's passing a decade ago, drifting through life without purpose or employment. It was only when her mother returned—reincarnated as an elementary school student—and offered her encouragement that she found the courage to join a web production company. Through a romantic connection with Renji Aikawa that blossomed in the workplace, she gradually freed herself from her excessive reliance on her late mother and grew into a resilient woman capable of facing the future on her own.
