Ohana Matsumae

Ohana was sent to live at Sui Shijima (Ohana's grandmother) inn in the country-side when Satsuki Matsumae (Ohana's mother) suddenly eloped with her boyfriend to avoid debt. At her grandmother's request, Ohana works at the inn as compensation for her residency there. Before moving, she is confessed to by Kouichi Tanemura (Ohana's only best friend), but before she could answer to his confession, Kouichi ran off and they never saw each other thereafter. Ohana now feels awkward whenever she thinks about him. She met up with him in the city some time after, but after she realized her feelings, she was given the reply "see ya", which could mean that she may not meet Kouichi anymore, to her disappointment. However, as time progresses, Kouichi clears the misunderstanding by stating that he did not reject Ohana during a meeting with her mother. Later, Ohana is finding out about what causes their relationship to be restored.
