Anna Shuri/Relationships

## Saga Sagako Busters

### Eikichi Hyodo

Anna is the only member of Saga Sagako Busters that Eikichi feels completely comfortable with. Not only is she the sanest of the team, but by being with her, he avoids being hit by Tae or a victim of Hanako's experiments. When the group must train Eikichi to obtain the power of Misogi that allows him to seal the Sagako, Anna is responsible for the physical training. However, after several days of training with Eikichi “training” cleaning the house, Anna tells him that is their fault to play a joke on him. She recommends that if he wants to gain power, he should start investigating what her sister was doing. Thanks to Anna's recommendation, Eikichi can now communicate with onions.

The group is searching for a man who meets “Triple A” to defeat the Sagako in a disco. Since they don't know any, they use Eikichi so that he meets these 3 requirements. Anna takes Eikichi to a club, so he can learn hosting skills and appear to be a high-class man. The training causes Eikichi to become skilled at serving people with his onion assortments.

When Anna goes missing, Eikichi takes the lead from her and goes looking for her around Saga. When he finds her, he knows something is wrong with her. Anna tells him about her past and how he met this detective who used her to detect robberies. When everything went wrong, she runs away to Saga. A place where she could feel comfortable not being recognized. Eikichi is unwilling to let her friend go because of a problem that they can all face as a team and tells her that she should treasure the place that allowed her to be herself. After Eikichi made her reconsider, she now finds him a bit more attractive.

When Higashino beats up Eikichi and leaves him in a depressed state, she vows to get revenge for what he did to Eikichi. Even during the final battle, she makes Eikichi reconsider going into battle because of her leg injury, as it would be a burden on Tae. When Yuko is released from her onion, Anna is a little uneasy about the sibling love they both show, thinking that Yuko was more independent of her brother.

### Yuko Hyodo

Yuko is released from her onion when the last Sagako is sealed. Her outpouring of love to her brother makes Anna and Hanako uncomfortable because of the sisterly love between them.

5 years later, she is received at the Hyodo house to celebrate their “promised day”. Yuko tells her that she is always welcome in her house, since it is her second home.

### Tae Yamada

Anna is Tae's right-hand woman and the one who does all the jobs that require brute force for the team. Before Anna joined the team, Tae was very prone to getting angry easily because she was in constant arguments with Hanako about how to defeat Sagakos, who made life difficult for the group. Due to her past abilities, Anna is very observant and always finds effective ways to solve problems. It should be noted that she was also the member Tae is most comfortable with besides Yuko.

When she realizes Anna's problem with Higashino, she doesn't hesitate to help her with her problems, since Higashino poses a danger to their plan to seal all the curses in Saga.

### Hanako Hakase

Besides Tae, Hakase is the member of the Sagako Busters that Anna spends the most time with. As she is the inventor of the group, Anna is responsible for using her inventions. Furthermore, because Anna is so observant, she allows Hanako to devise plans to defeat the Sagako.

### Jofuku

The mysterious boss of Sagako Busters. She, along with the other girls, takes instructions from him when there is a Sagako outbreak in the prefecture.

## Others

### Keiji Higashino

Years ago, Anna was engaged in robbery after running away from her family. One day, Higashino catches her and takes her to the interrogation room. There, he tells Anna that he could send her straight to the police to look into her case, but that's rookie for him. Instead, he offers Anna to work with him to detect robberies in Tokyo in exchange for him not revealing Anna's identity. With Anna's help, Higashino was able to catch many criminals and stop the wave of robbers hitting Tokyo.

However, one day the situation got out of control and Anna had to witness how chaos broke out in one of the raids, leaving many people dead. With the blame for her on her back, she decides to run away from her to a place where no one would know who she was. She finally reaches Saga, where she finds a place where she can be calm and belong to a group that appreciates her company.

Years after the incident, Higashino is demoted to Saga for his incompetence in catching Anna when he was in Tokyo. When the two meet again, Higashino demands that Anna tell him what she has been doing in Saga all this time. He doesn't believe her story of supernatural beings in Saga until he sees one, and immediately becomes interested in Anna's story of saving Saga.

Anna knows that he is an unpredictable man and one of bad ways, so it is a bad omen that he took an interest in Sagako. When she finally reunites with the group after being missing, she tells them of the danger he poses to the entire operation and to the Sagako. Her concern increases when Higashino hits Eikichi, leaving him in a depressed state, which makes Anna angry and swears that when she finds him, she will bring him back to the mansion as alive as possible.
