== Charactah Account ==
Ritsu is a second year student at Usa's school and is the second resident that Usa meets. She is the daughter of the legal owner of Kawai Complex; a fact that she often brings up when a resident crosses the line. Often staying in the library where Usa saw her first, she loves reading books and becomes quite oblivious to her surroundings when she is engrossed at it.
Ritsu is a seemingly anti-social girl who is actually very shy around others. In addition, she also likes to read books, to the point of her becoming unaware of her surroundings despite the place. when she was questioned if books are her friends, she said yes, which implies that she doesn't actually have real friends. She also states she'd rather be alone than interacting with friends who don't really want to be friends with her. However, she also cares a lot for the members at the dorms and would stand up for them when others are taking advantage of them. In addition, anytime she feels offended by any of the dorm members, she threatens them by saying that she would double or triple their rents.
The books affect her to such an extent that at times even her mood depends on the type of book she is perusing.
