A new music teacher and Narumi's colleague. With her long hair and innocent image, she is very popular among students. She was Mugi's former tutor and is the object of his unrequited love. While she appears kind, her true nature is the exact opposite, making her the character who best fits the title 'Scum's Wish.' She is essentially the antithesis of Mugi and Hanabi. She isn't the type to be satisfied by loving someone; rather, she only feels satisfied when she is loved. Furthermore, she only becomes interested in someone when their love for her is 'validated' by the fact that they are already loved by someone else. 158cm 49kg Type A February 14th 23 years old

Sanae still keeps that candy wrapper in her notebook to this day. This encounter led her to fall for Hanabi. Since then, she has accepted that she is a lesbian and continues to watch Hanabi closely. 165cm 50kg Type O January 18th 17 years old
Mugi's childhood friend. She calls herself 'Moka.' A gorgeous and beautiful girl who looks like a doll or a manga protagonist. Due to her unrealistic appearance, aura, and princess-like behavior, some boys find her overwhelming. This persona stems from adults linking her and Mugi together as a 'Prince and Princess' when they were young, which became her life philosophy. She continues to act like a princess and loves only her 'Prince,' Mugi. However, Mugi, who seeks a different kind of love, only loves Akane and doesn't look at Noriko. Despite this, Noriko continues her unrequited love. She seems unaware of Akane and is jealous of Mugi's girlfriend, Hanabi. 149cm 37kg Type AB March 3rd 17 years old
