Hifumi Suu

## Name

**Hifumi Suu** (一二三 数 *Hifumi Sū*) is a main character and is Rentarou's 23rd girlfriend. She is a 1st year, class 1 student at Ohananomitsu High School.

## Appearance

Suu has sky blue eyes and has short grey & white hair. She is also one of the shorter members of Rentarou's Family.

The only piece of the Ohananomitsu high school uniform she wears is the skirt. She usually pairs it with a black tracksuit with white stripes, and a teal sweater with a white collar. Suu also wears glasses with round lenses.

## Personality

Suu is in love with numbers. She compares her love for numbers to how people can be in love with others of the opposite sex or the same sex.

In a similar way to Rentarou, who equally loves all of his girlfriends, she equally loves all of the numbers, and loves to describe the qualities of each number, like 1's sleek & trim form, 2's contrast between the curve and the line, 3's dip and shapely mounds, 4's wonderfully sharp corners, and so on.

Despite being in love with the numbers, she's very bad at math, this is because she thinks that each number has its own identity and feels that humans strip off their identities to turn them into things (like turning 1 plus 1 into 2 instead of 11, according to her, the latter respects the identity of the number 1).

## History

Since her childhood, Suu was in love with all the numbers, and always wanted to become them, however she could only become up to 9.

She met Rentarou after accidentally bumping into him inside Ohananomitsu High School. She then helps Rentarou pick up the poker cards that he accidentally dropped as a result of their collision. She, however, leaves behind all the cards without numbers (the Aces, Kings, Queens, and Joker). This was because her lack of interest regarding things unrelated to numbers.

She then explains Rentarou why she loves numbers and how important they're to her, thanks to this, Rentarou sees that she loves numbers the same way he loves his girlfriends, as she also doesn't really have any favorite numbers, loving all of them equally, and that she loves all the looks the numbers can get (Roman, Arabic, Kanji), similar to how Rentarou loves the different looks of his girlfriends.

After this conversation, she tells Rentarou that she's only in love with numbers, so she's not interested in him; however, she actually has feelings towards him. While thinking about this, Rentarou appears wearing a full black body suit, and tells her that if she can only love numbers, then he'll become numbers for her.

He then starts doing different poses that recreate the numbers from 0 to 9, to then show her that together, they can become 10 and more, even getting up to 20. Because of this, Suu asks if he will go out with her and Rentarou accepts and tells her to not worry about her love of numbers, as she can equally love both numbers and him. The next day, Rentarou introduces Suu to his other girlfriends, officially making her his 23rd girlfriend.
