Chika Minazuki

Chika Minazuki (水無月 智花 Minazuki Chika) is the younger cousin of Taeko Minazuki that spends most of her time working at a café down by the beach during the summertime. Because of this, she's often very tanned, except for the tan-lines caused by her wearing swimsuits. She notices that Taeko has a crush on Kaoru Hanabishi and spends a lot of her time trying to fix the two up. She occasionally has mild, romantic feelings for Kaoru herself as the series progresses, but for the most part, she looks up to him as an older brother figure.
