Character

Chiyo Sakura

佐倉 千代

Chiyo Sakura is the main female protagonist of the series. She is a high school student at Roman Academy, a member of its Art Club and Umetarou Nozaki's manga assistant who is in charge of filling in the betas. Chiyo is a short high school student with chest-length orange hair that always has her signature pair of red bows with white polka dots on both sides of her head and purple eyes. Chiyo is most commonly seen in her school uniform which consists of a white blouse, a ribbon, and a grey blazer on top and a short navy blue skirt with black over-knee socks and brown school loafers, she's considered to be a cute woman. Even though Chiyo is in her second year and should be wearing a red uniform ribbon, hers is blue instead which is a third year color. Her ribbon is her personal blue ribbon, which is bigger than the usual ribbons. Chiyo is a bright, cheerful and an excitable young girl who has been shown to be very easily influenced, often letting her imagination go wild. For example, she became excited when Mikoto Mikoshiba first introduced her to Yuu Kashima and hugely misjudged their relationship. Chiyo has also been shown, for the most part, to be able to get along with others and seems to be the most normal of the main characters. Although she is often surprised, and sometimes even annoyed, by many of her friends' odd personalities and antics, she is still friendly to them regardless. For instance, even though Yuzuki Seo is often rude to people, she still managed to be friends with her. This may be partly due to her slight naïveté, however, she often cannot tell why people are annoyed by Yuzuki. Outside of school, Chiyo is also passionate about drawing, as she is a member of the Arts club and enjoys helping out Umetarou Nozaki with his manga. Chiyo constantly struggles to convey her feelings to her crush Nozaki. Usually jovial, Chiyo is often irked and depressed by her failed attempts to improve her relationship with Nozaki. In her first effort to confess to him, he mistakenly misinterpreted her confession as declaring herself as one of his fans, much to her dismay. Since helping his mangaka work as an assistant, she has continued her attempts at winning his affection, although her endeavors are often fruitless due to a mixture of bad luck and Nozaki's ironic lack of romanticism. Nevertheless, she does not give up and continues to work hard, something that has constantly concerned others about her borderline fixation on Nozaki.
