Yuuna Okuyama

Yuuna Okuyama (奥山 有菜) is in the same grade and class as Souta Hori.

Appearance
Yuuna is a young girl with chin-length red hair that usually has a flower pin on the left side and lilac eyes.

She wears a buttoned sweater and skirt.

Teenage
Yuuna's hair is now mid-back length and she clips her hair up in the middle while the rest is tied back with chin-length hair strands hanging on either side.

Personality
Okuyama is very mature for her age. In contrast with Souta Hori's carefree and trusting nature, she is much more cynical and cautious. She often scolds Souta and their classmates for their childish behavior, but mostly because she is self-conscious of her forehead, which she thinks is too large. However this feeling about herself changed after Izumi Miyamura told her that she looked pretty.

Plot
(Emory)

Souta Hori
Okuyama and Souta are friends and classmates. When asked by Syu Iura if they are "just friends", she says "obviously", noting that it's still 10 years too early for Souta to understand. Okuyama often goes over to the Hori household after school to play with Souta.

After the time skip it's shown that both Souta and Yuuna, now highschool students, are in love with each other. Yuuna became very upset when she thought that he loved someone else and was very relieved when he revealed that it was her. During the confession, they've stated that they fell in love a long time ago.

Kyouko Hori
Okuyama looks up to Hori as an older sister where she thinks of her as kind, cute and good at cooking. In addition, the two share a similar aesthetic when it comes to Hori's handmade stuffed animals.
