Akane Inui



Akane Inui (乾赤音, Inui Akane) was Seishu Inui's older sister and the girl Hajime Kokonoi was in love with.



Appearance
Akane was a girl of average height with blonde shoulder-length hair and big gentle eyes. She often donned her school uniform that consisted of a checkered skirt, a clean button-down underneath a light sweater vest, and a pair of dark calf-length socks in school shoes. She also wore a matching bow tie with a striped pattern as part of her uniform.

Her features were drastically similar to her younger brother's Seishu Inui which Hajime Kokonoi found attractive. On weekdays after school, Akane carried a school bag with her.

Personality
Akane spent time with Inupi and his childhood friend Koko. As an older sister, she encouraged her brother to act like him who she commended as remarkably kind, but Inupi would usually defy her wishes. She was upfront about her rejection of Koko’s attempt at kissing her, wisely telling him that he should only do such things to the person he truly liked, but at one point came off as indecisive as she took into consideration his romantic feelings for her despite recently rejecting his kiss and pointing out the five-year age gap between them.
