Naoko Serizawa

Naoko Serizawa is a first-year student at Shimizu Minami High School who once aspired to become a professional musician. A devastating dual hearing impairment—complete loss in her left ear and significant damage to her right—drove her to abandon music entirely. Initially cold and resistant to joining any club, she was gradually moved by the sincere encouragement of Haruta and Chinatsu, reigniting her passion and leading her to join the Wind Ensemble Club. Through her exceptional clarinet skills and an unyielding spirit, she rises above her hardships to shine once more.
