“Do you think Akano is cute, too?”
Akano is a second-year student at Kakushiki High School. She’s known for being eccentric and disappearing to odd places, only to forget what happened afterwards. She likes dragging her “friends” into her mischief— she dislikes being alone a lot, and when she is, she can get quite anxious. Akano is good friends with Julie and Aoi, and initially, she is the one who introduces them to the protagonist.
