"What do you want for dinner tonight?"

Mino, to Motoharu

Mino [3] (ミノ) is Motoharu's older sister, who studies a year above him. She attends Sanada West High.

History[]

Motoharu game

When Mino and Motoharu were in junior school, she used to bully him, chiefly through a 'game' they played on the riverbank. In this game, she would pick up Motoharu by the arms and whirl him around repeatedly, laughing in glee. This source of amusement to her was torturous for Motoharu, who now becomes embarrassed when recollecting it.

As of high school, Mino cooks for her brother since their parents are rarely at home.

Appearance[]

MinoFull

Mino is short and slim, with long black hair. Due to this, she looks almost exactly like Yassan from behind. This once caused Motoharu to accidentally mistaken Yassan for her at the riverbank. Like the other sisters of North High students, her eyes are never depicted.

She wears Sanada West High's standard uniform for girls. It consists of a white, long-sleeved sailor fuku with a blue collar, red neckerchief and blue skirt. Sometimes she also wears a light-purple-colored jacket.

Personality[]

Mino is a cheery individual. She generally engages her younger brother in conversation and takes pride in the fact that the two seem to get along well. However, she also acts contrary to the spirit of that idea. She is known to spread lies about Motoharu to her friends, and also gets jealous of his cooking ability. When he is being harassed by her friends, she neither comes to his aid, nor actively takes part in humiliating him.
