Chapter 1

**Momoko Maeda** (前田桃子 (まえ だ ももこ) , *Maeda Momoko*) is one of the characters in *Loving Yamada at Lv999!* series, written and illustrated by Mashiro. She is Akane's best friend.

## Appearance

Momo is a young woman of average height with a slim build. Her hair is cut short, reaching at least the middle of her neck, and it's dyed in a beautiful lavender purple color that complements her overall appearance. Her eyes are a soft shade of dull pink, which adds to her unique and charming look.

One thing that sets Momo apart from others is her impeccable sense of style. She has an eye for fashion and knows how to put together trendy outfits that make her look chic and fashionable. When she makes an appearance, she always looks stunningly put together.

During one particular occasion, Momo wore an off-shoulder black top paired with jeans - a simple yet stylish outfit that accentuated her figure perfectly. It's clear that Momo takes pride in how she presents herself to the world and puts effort into looking good every day.

## Personality

Momo has a vibrant and lively personality, much like her best friend Akane. However, unlike Akane who tends to keep her thoughts to herself at times, Momo is known for being frank and straightforward when it comes to important matters. She isn't afraid to speak up and voice her opinions, especially when she believes that it's the right thing to do.

She has a strong sense of justice and fairness, which often guides her actions. She believes in doing what's right and treating people with respect and kindness. When faced with difficult situations or decisions, Momo will always consider what the person deserves before taking action, the same as to how she consoled her best friend Akane when she decides to throw away the past and move on from it.

Momo has a compassionate side in addition to being outspoken. She genuinely cares about those who are close to her and will go above and beyond to assist those who are in need. People can feel comfortable opening up to her about their problems because of her outgoing personality, which makes her approachable and simple to talk to.

One particular incident that showcases Momo's fiery personality occurred during a group date with Yui. The guy she was paired with started badmouthing his ex-girlfriend, which immediately infuriated Momo. In a moment of impulse, she grabbed a slice of pizza and threw it at the man's cellphone in an act of defiance.

Despite her impulsive behavior, Momo's actions were rooted in her strong sense of justice and fairness. She believed that the man's behavior was disrespectful and unacceptable, and she wasn't afraid to stand up for what she believed in. After throwing the pizza slice, Momo decided to leave the restaurant together with Yui.

Yui has also noted that Momo is a very passionate individual who puts all of herself into everything she does. While this passion can sometimes lead to impulsive actions like throwing pizza slices, it also makes Momo an inspiring figure who isn't afraid to stand up for what is right.

## Relationships

### Akane Kinoshita

Momo and Akane share a close bond as best friends. When Akane went through a difficult time after her break up with Takuma, Momo was there to console her and offer support. She knew how much the cheating had hurt Akane, and she made it her mission to be there for her friend during this tough period.

Momo's presence was especially important when Akane decided that it was time to move forward from the relationship. Together, they cleaned out Akane's room and got rid of all the old items that Takuma had given her during their time together. This process helped Akane let go of the past and start fresh.

Throughout this entire experience, Momo showed herself to be a loyal friend who would do anything for those she cares about. Her ability to provide comfort during tough times is just one of many reasons why she is such an important figure in Akane's life.

Momo is not only a loyal friend to Akane but also someone she trusts wholeheartedly. When Akane realized her feelings towards Yamada, Momo was the first person she confided in, along with Eita. She knew that they would listen to her without judgment and offer support during this confusing time.

Momo's ability to be there for her friends during difficult moments was also evident when Akane had an argument with Yui. As Akane tried to fix things with Yui, Momo was there by her side, offering silent support and cheering her up when needed.

### Maki

Maki is another close friend of Momo's and is part of their inner circle alongside Akane.

### Yui Kurata

Despite the lack of information on how their friendship came to be, it is apparent that Momo and Yui have grown close. This was demonstrated when Momo joined Yui on a group date and playfully teased her about Hasegawa. The fact that Momo felt comfortable enough to tease Yui in this manner suggests a level of familiarity and closeness between the two friends. While we may not know the specifics of how their friendship developed, it is clear that they have formed a bond that allows them to enjoy each other's company and engage in playful banter.
