Minako Ayuzawa

Misaki’s mom might look a bit under the weather, but she’s a trooper, juggling her job as a nurse and still finding time to cheer on Misaki and Suzuna. While she appreciates her daughter stepping up during tough times, deep down, she wishes Misaki would let loose and enjoy her high school days. Enter Usui, who she bumps into at the train station in chapter 35. To her, he’s a breath of fresh air—kind and gentle, so different from her husband. You can tell she sees a spark of hope in him, adding a bit of light to her life.
