ジーナ・ボイド

MAIN

Similarly to Akemi, Gina loves muscles. She is a very competitive person as shown during her debut episode. After losing to Hibiki in an arm-wrestling match, she enrolls in her school and even moves in her house for the sole reason of having a rematch with her one day. However, she is overall a nice person. She is a big fan of Japanese culture, especially cosplay. Her love can enter creepy areas though, like when she met Mei and immediately asked all her contact information and for literally the clothes on her back.

Rumika is one of the few characters who is not initially weirded out by Machio Naruzo flexing and tearing his clothes, being more interested in his advice. Like Kure Yakusha and Tachibana Satomi, she is angered by quips about her age.

SUPPORTING

Yakusha is a beautiful woman with long black hair and a generally serene expression. She is slightly more muscular than most of the other women, but not to extent of vigorous bodybuilders like Utsunomiya. She usually keeps her eyes squinted, fully opening them reveals her clan's trademark darkened eyes.
