## Personality

Yuuki is friendly, trustworthy and easily led on by others, but an honest guy at heart. When his girlfriend broke up with him, he was totally broken down and his faith in girls was shattered. However, falling in love with Futaba changed his views. He is very faithful in his relationship with Futaba and wants to be there for her always. This is why, he was deeply concerned and sad when Futaba refused to tell him where why she was late. He was so trusting of her that he didn't even suspect her of infidelity even when his friends told him about seeing her with another guy.

## Relationships

### Futaba Kawamura

Futaba and Yuuki were next-door neighbours in *Co-Op Yamashina* before it burned down. Yuuki's relationship with Futaba was off to a rough start as he accidentally groped her on their first meeting. However, Futaba's sister was very friendly with Yuuki from the start following her accidentally dropping water on him and then inviting him in for a bath and dinner as an apology. She later suggests that Yuuki eat dinner with them everyday since he was living alone, much to Futaba's chagrin. Yuuki and Futaba's relationship went on and off following various events but they finally confess to each-other on *Snow Valentine (Part 2).* They start living together in *Move On! (Part 2)* following the destruction of *Co-Op Yamashina* due to a fire. Yuuki later breaks up with her due to various misunderstandings caused by Futaba wanting to give Yuuki an unforgettable birthday present in *Destiny (Part 3)*. Futaba later moves out to her sister's. Their feelings for each-other remain the same but Futaba is unable to look straight at Yuuki. After various ordeals, they become together again in the final chapter of the manga, *Salad Days are Eternal...*

### Hatsune Kawamura

Hatsune has always been very friendly with Yuuki from the beginning, unlike her sister. She invited him for a bath and dinner as an apology after accidentally throwing water at him and later suggests that he eat dinner everyday with them. She was also the one who encouraged Futaba to go to Yuuki in the final chapter, stating that those related by blood with always be family but to be with the one you love requires effort and understanding.

### Shuuto Kimura

Shuuto was the lead guitarist of *Garden Plot* who Yuuki admired very much during middle school. After the dissolution of their band, he becomes a teacher at Yuuki's school. Shuuto was a source of conflict between Yuuki and Futaba as he was also Futaba's crush. Yuuki later starts admiring him again after hearing of his troubled past in junior high and how it has shaped the person he is today.

### Fumika Yumishima

Fumika is Yuuki's step-sister. During pregnancy, Yuuki's father cheated on Yuuki's mother with Fumika's mother. When news of the affair got out, Fumika started hating both her parents. During these times, it was Yuuki who supported Fumika declaring that he too hated his father and his mother, and that the only one he loved was her (platonically, of course). They become very close thereafter. In the story, she returns to Yuuki's school from Canada and they are as close as ever, much to the jealousy of Futaba, who was unaware of the fact that they're siblings. Futaba starts avoiding Yuuki after seeing the two of them so close together and Fumika started cooking for Yuuki. She thought that Fumika and Yuuki dated before. The misunderstanding was later resolved by Yuuki.
