Revision as of 09:53, 6 June 2019

Overview

This serves as a repository for characters who appear generally more than once or twice, often remain unnamed, and usually have little details to justify a full page. Since many characters who seem "minor" for much of the series become substantive characters later, this helps promoting them to their own character pages. An example of this is Shiki Futaki who started as a background but recurring character with an "emoji-face" who now has a name and associates with Tomoko. As characters develop, they will be moved to their own page.

First Appearance Chapter 79


Anna Haruna (春奈杏奈・Haruna Anna) is one of Yoshida's two consistent friends. She has long presumably dyed-blond hair. While she does not understand Yoshida's love of childish and cute things she generally avoids provoking her and smooths over disagreements between Yoshida and her other friend Rena. Her first name is revealed with the kanji in Chapter 142 when she introduces herself to Tomoko. She can be rather direct: she freely calls Yoshida a "moron." She rhetorically asks if Tomoko and Futaki are "morons (バカ・baka)" for skipping studying for midterms in Chapter 147. However, she does not persist in insulting them. According to Chapter 79, Anna has a boyfriend named Kento, whom she describes as someone needy who will become upset if she does not spend time with him everyday. Tomoko reveals her surname with the kanji when she refers to her to Yoshida in Chapter 147.

She does not understand Yoshida's love of childish and cute things which occasionally elicits the latter's wrath. Her name is first revealed in Chapter 130 with the kanji in Chapter 142. Despite Tomoko's characterization of her, Yoshida, and Anna as "delinquents," she does not denigrate others such as Tomoko or Futaki. Instead, she invites them to play a video version of majong in Chapter 147. In that chapter she claims that she will attend a vocational school after high school. She later greets Tomoko on the train in Chapter 156 where she asks Tomoko about a rumor she heard from Anna that it was Tomoko who dinned at Yoshida's Altar of Venus. Based on the furigana, Anna and Yoshida pronounce her name "Reina" in Chapter 147 and Chapter 155 respectfully. Given that the first kanji (麗) has the on-yomi reading of "rei (レイ)," this suggests that "Reina" is her actual first name with "Rena" being a nickname. However, Yoshida will later pronounce the kanji to Tomoko as "Rena." In that chapter, Yoshida reveals that Reina has been suspended for a week before presumably for riding her motorbike.
