Hikari Hanazono

Hikari Hanazono
Hikari is the main female protagonist in the story. She is currently the second top student for having the best grades in the whole school. She is very determined to beat Kei Takishima in everything, both academics and sports, but still, in any of those competitions, she always fail to beat him in every way. Even though she looks up to Kei Takishima as a rival, She eventually develops feelings for him, a fact that she didn't know. She is very good at academics and sports, but is horrible in teaching and cooking, as seen on episode 3, which their kitchen exploded because of her cooking, and in the school when the president of the student council ate her "homemade riceballs" he left a disgusted reaction to Hikari's bento/ riceballs telling that it's terrible, but in the end, Takishima still ate it and said that the riceballs are delicious which Tadashi reacted that hunger is the best seasoning. And on episode 12 where hikari takes care of takishima in his house and Kei's kitchen exploded because of Hikari. Hikari also appears to have a great strength as seen again on episode 3 where Hikari broke the container of the rice while cleaning it, despite that it's metal. And in episode 2 which she also fought in the competition and beating the big guys.

Stuborn, proud and hot-headed, Hikari never backs down from a challenge, especially one from Kei, because she is constantly looking for an opportunity to surpass him, though has never done so. Although she can handle her own in a fight (often against boys), Kei, gets irritated whenever she puts herself in danger. A kindhearted girl who always worries about others, Hikari sometimes lacks common sense and tends to be unaware towards how people regard her. Her optimistic personality, straightforwardness, and tendency to always see the good in people sometimes prevents her from realizing the more subtle aspects of relationships. Although Hikari is rather sensitive to others, she is quite dense when it comes to love. A proof is that she never notice that Kei is in love with her even though it is obvious to their friends. She also didn't realize her true feelings for him until in episode 22. Where Hikari confessed by kissing Kei in the forehead which Kei replies that he accepts her feelings for him.
