### Gal\*Gun 2

* JP Translated

An American transfer student on the Basketball Team. Her father runs a sushi restaurant in her hometown, so she dedicates herself to researching sushi as well.

She was so convinced that California rolls were popular in Japan, it took her friends a whole year to convince her they weren't common at all. It was her first big culture shock.
