Masuda Kei

Masuda Kei (増田恵) is a sword-bearing student at Tenchi Academy. She is the roommate of Shizuma Yuuho in the first series and is also Yuuho's classmate. Her shinyuu is Nemoto Mitsuyo.
==Character==
Kei is an agreeable but very unlucky girl. Due to a string of misunderstandings and misfortunes, she believes Ayana is on a mission to destroy her, and is terrified by the sight of her.
Kei and her shinyuu Mitsuyo, whom she addresses as Mii-chan, have a close and caring friendship. Though the series tends to dwell more on their miseries than their triumphs, they are successful swordbearers who have maintained a B rank.
As Yuuho's roommate in the old dormitory, Kei was tasked with keeping watch over her fragile health.

===Volume 3===
*Rushes into Ayana and Jun's room with the news that Yuuho has collapsed. Yuuho turns out to be fine, but Jun wishes to stay with her for the night, so Kei switches rooms with her (93-95).

Ayana, angry at Jun for an unrelated reason, spends the night muttering to herself; Kei mistakenly believes she is the target of Ayana's ire (98-99).
