Misaki Gundou

* Manga
* Anime

 **Misaki Gundou**  (群堂 みさき, *Gundō Misaki*?) is the wife of Mr. Gundou and the mother of Misuzu Gundou who was once friends with Akemi Aizawa (Tomo Aizawa's mother).

## Appearance

Misaki is a beautiful young woman with upper-back length black hair that is clipped in the back by a blue hair clip with bangs split on either side while she has chest-length hair strands hanging on either side, black eyes, full pink lips, a mole under her left eye and she wears oval-shaped glasses that complements her "serious businesswoman" look.

Misaki is seen wearing a gray business suit with a gray knee-length, dark pantyhose and black-colored heels.

## Personality

Misaki's personality is a lot like her daughter Misuzu Gundou; cold and distant. Misaki appears to enjoy teasing her husband.

As evident by her reaction to Carol Olston, Misaki seems to have issues with people invading her personal space.

## Background

Misaki used to tease Gorou Aizawa (Tomo Aizawa's father) about his crush with Akemi, much like Misuzu Gundou does now with Junichirou Kubota. Gorou even told Misuzu not to grow up to be as twisted of a woman like Misaki. As a result of her friendship with Akemi and Gorou, their daughters Misuzu and Tomo became friends.

## Plot

Misaki came home one day after work to find boys sneakers beside her daughter's in their *genkan*, Misaki then wondered if there was a boy over. Upon entering, she was greeted by Misuzu and who she thought was "Akemi", but was actually her daughter, Tomo Aizawa. She then told Tomo not to grow up to be like her mother, which confused the latter. After a while Misaki noticed the presence of a third girl, and was surprised when 'it' spoke. The strange girl, Carol, then proceeded to loudly introduce herself getting right in Misaki's face. Misaki then pulled Carol off her and announced that she couldn't deal with her weirdness.

After the girls had finished their studying they went to leave, Tomo said goodbye like a normal person, by Carol again got too close in her goodbye. After they left, Misaki commented to Misuzu how much Carol is like her dad, Misuzu then agreed – stating that might be why she can't stand her.

After the school's cultural festival, Misaki and Misuzu came home to find Misuzu's father, overly saddened by the fact that he didn't go and see Misuzu as Cinderella in the school play. Misaki and her daughter both say at the same time that it was his fault for getting tricked (and believing there was no cultural festival). Misaki then offers to show him the video of Misuzu's play but only if he "woofed" like a dog, he was too eager to do so.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Mr. Gundou

Mr, Gundou is Misaki's husband whom she loves to tease.

#### Misuzu Gundou

Misuzu is Misaki's daughter who shares the same stunning looks and cold personality that Carol Olston even comments that "It's so cute how much alike you and Misuzu-chan are!" in **Chapter 302**.

Although they barely antagonize (**cause (someone) to become hostile or angry**) each other and they get along very well, it is implied that Misaki always has a way to put Misuzu in her place.

### Others

#### Gorou Aizawa & Akemi Aizawa

Misaki used to be Gorou and Akemi's classmate at school and their relationship is closer than it appears, though she's not as friendly towards them as Misuzu Gundou is in turn with Tomo Aizawa and Junichirou Kubota.

#### Tomo Aizawa

When Misaki first met Tomo, she thought that she was Akemi due to the striking resemblance, but Tomo corrected by saying that she is Akemi's daughter.

Misaki tells Tomo not to grow up like Akemi, much like Akemi warned Misuzu Gundou not to grow up like her.

#### Carol Olston

Misaki finds Carol annoying as seen when Misaki tells Carol about personal space.
