Mei Hamano

Meet Mei, the fiercely protective friend of Shiori and the go-to practice partner of Shuu. This sporty tomboy loves all things athletic and rocks a casual style of tees and jeans instead of dresses. She's a super supportive pal, always encouraging Shiori to make a move on their childhood crush, Jirou—though deep down, Mei harbors her own feelings for Shiori. Academics? Not Mei's strong suit; she relies on Shiori’s tutoring. Her friendly side shines when she's with girls, but she flips the switch to a brash, no-nonsense attitude around guys. Mei’s all about honesty, delivering the truth with zero fluff.
