Mei Hamano

Mei Hamano is a high school student at Seishun Academy and one of Shiori Sakurazaka's most trusted friends. With a cool, androgynous appearance and exceptional athletic ability, she enjoys considerable popularity among her female classmates. Fully aware of Shiori's feelings toward the protagonist Jiro Yakuin, Mei consistently plays the role of a steadfast supporter, offering guidance and encouragement from the sidelines. Notably, she keeps her own personal feelings for Shiori hidden, choosing to prioritize her friend's happiness—a gesture that marks her as one of the story's most emotionally mature and perceptive characters.
