Misaki Nakahara

Misaki is an eccentric and mysterious high school girl who offers to help Satou escape his hikikomori lifestyle. Living in a mansion overlooking his apartment, she initiates nightly counseling sessions. Though she presents herself as a guide, Misaki struggles with her own distorted worldview and social isolation, creating a complex, interdependent bond. Claiming to be a volunteer from a "charity project," she convinces Satou to sign a contract as part of her "big project," with the goal of making him a normal person. Though she sees through his actions, she tries reading beginner psychology books in an attempt to connect with his feelings and "save" him. She often lies or hides facts such as her dropping out of high school, but not out of malice—rather, to keep Satou's attention and reassure herself that she is needed.
