Noriko Kamomebata

Noriko Kamomebata is Mugi Awaya's childhood sweetheart who has known him since their earliest years. She proudly crowns herself the 'most adorable' girl and relentlessly pursues an ideal of absolute cuteness. Her affection for Mugi is both fierce and unwavering, wrapped in a confident, almost imperious attitude. Though she sees Hanabi as a romantic rival standing in her way, Noriko stands out within this tale of tangled, complicated relationships as one of the few characters whose longing — simply to be a cherished princess in the eyes of the one she loves — remains genuinely pure and deeply sympathetic.
