Haru Nonaka

**Haru Nonaka** (**野中 晴** , *Nonaka Haru*?) is an eccentric girl working at MILK HALL where she adopted a crow and named it Kansuke. Because of the drastic change in her appearance, Rikuo Uozumi does not remember meeting her five years ago.

## Appearance

Haru has bright amber-coloured eyes and chestnut brown hair. Her style is unique, often dark with button-downs and shawls that drape cross her shoulders and arms. She is called pretty by multiple people. She is also seen wearing different clothes at times, such as a maid outfit at her job, and other casual clothes such as graphic shirts and overalls. In flashbacks, Haru wore glasses during middle school, although she admits that she did not actually need them.

## Personality

Haru is a bit eccentric girl who has an affinity for crows. A lot of mystery surrounds her, and never answers questions about herself directly. She hinted at being a liar her whole life, but said she never hurt anyone. She created a persona because it's less trouble. She has no desire to be understood by anyone. Haru is shown to not like large gatherings and often prefers finding places to be alone despite her openness around others. When Haru is at home she appears to prefer spending time playing video games or listening to music. However, she prefers going out and finding new places to have fun such as ramen shops.

## Biography

**Spoilers Below**

Haru is a high school dropout because her school didn't approve of her working at the "Milk Hall", a cafe/bar, since they serve alcohol in the evening. She has feelings for Rikuo and visits him often at his part time job at the convenience store. She has a pet crow named Kansuke.

During the series, she met Rikuo when he was feeding crows behind the convenience store with food they were going to throw out. Rikuo recognized Kansuke, the crow with the broken leg, and offered him some food. Kansuke flees to Haru, who is following her companion. Haru asks if she could have some food as well. She goes as far to say that Rikuo should just pretend she is also a crow.

She claims she knew Rikuo for a long time, and at first he doesn't remember. But when she notes she used to be in uniform, have braided hair and look more studious, he does recall her. She attended the same high school that Shinako taught at. She tends to avoid Shinako because of this. With her feelings toward Rikuo, she is unfortunately drawn into this situation where Rikuo has feelings for Shinako and not her. Bumping into Shinako hanging out with Rikuo is inevitable.

She currently works at a maid/cosplay cafe and bar. Her boss is Kyouko.

Though she says Kansuke to be her only family, she means that she only connects with him. Her biological family and her do not get along the best, and prefer privacy from one another. Her mother, Yuko, seperated from Haru's father when Haru was still little. She hasn't had contact with her father in nearly 10 years.
