Tsubaki Akashigata

Tsubaki Akashigata is Yoshino's closest cousin, currently pursuing her studies at a university in Yokohama and hailing from a distinguished Kyoto lineage. On the surface, she carries the refined air of a young lady from a noble household, speaking in the gentle tones of the Kyoto dialect—yet beneath that elegance lies remarkable boldness and a deep familiarity with the dangers of the underworld. As the person Yoshino confides in most, she once provided financial assistance when Yoshino sought funds through selling a kidney, and her sharp instincts allowed her to immediately see through Kirishima Fukayama's true dangerous nature. While her approach to romance is relaxed and uninhibited, she consistently offers her steadiest, most composed support whenever Yoshino faces a crisis.
