My grandma looks mean but she's so nice. She is super good at sewing and making tea. I've learned everything about kimonos from her, and I hope I can be as talented as she is someday.
My grandson. He studies so hard but he insists on taking over the kimono shop. He doesn't have to. In this modern age, kimonos are for special occasions only. It's not easy to make a living like this, but his genuine fascination with the textiles and kimonos is admirable.
Kuranosuke-jisan is so stern. He scares me sometimes because he stares at me so angrily. It feels like he's staring bullets at me! Even so he lets me work at the restaurant for some pocket change, and I can keep watching over Ebi this way. Sometimes though, out of the corner of my eye, I catch him pulling something that looks like a kunai out of his afro but every time I notice he puts it away. Is he a ninja??
This glasses-kun comes by every day and hangs around my darling niece. I wish he'd leave. But Shiori-san has handed down her duty of helping my staff put on their kimonos to this kid, her grandson... I don't really have a choice in the matter now. He does an amazing job at making my niece very cute though!
Ebi-sama's uncle is a little intimidating... But I won't back down! He did offer to let me work at the sushiya but I don't think I can be as elegant as Ebi-sama, so I'll pass... Though it sounds fun to work with her. Oh! A work place romance? Kyaa, that would be nice...
This delinquent girl is so strange. She broke down the wall to my restaurant! Why? I would've made sure she never comes again but she and her lackeys fixed up the wall real nice... They've been helping renovate the place bit by bit too... Hm. I think it's ok if she stays around. She keeps that glasses boy humble too!
Takuro is my nephew! He's a good boy and has a big heart. Every time he comes he always has a new bruise or wound. Is someone bullying him? Sorry, Takuro... Auntie doesn't know how to help you...
Yo! Auntie is the coolest! She can get a high score in karaoke! She is so nice to everyone, and she always gives me pocket money to go to the arcade. She even comes and plays versus with me in Street Fighter! She's a force to be reckoned with in rhythm games dude! Even though I'm older than her, she spoils me like an auntie should! *nods*
Uncle is very nice and I love him a lot! He's the best! He always cooks what I like to eat! I hope that I can be a good helper in his restaurant. He says I'm doing good but sometimes I worry I can't do enough to thank him. He likes when I sing so I try to sing bunches!
My darling niece is so cute! I'm so blessed that she offered to help work at the restaurant, and she's been such a big draw for customers. Of course, that comes with its own share of problems... I can't let any customer lay a finger on her. I have to keep her safe! For Masaki's sake, I have to...
Papa! Papa doesn't visit anymore and he won't let me visit him anymore. I used to go on the train to visit him, but I can't do that anymore, since no one knows where he has gone.
I'm sorry, my daughter... I just can't let you be around me anymore. It's not safe. It's all my fault that you lost your mother... Though by me being gone you have lost your father as well, at least this way I can give you the most normal life I can.
I lost my mom when I was 5. I didn't know her very well but everyone says I'm just like her.
My darling daughter, I'm sorry I left you all alone... Mommy is sorry that she had to leave you like that...
Wh-what is this delinquent doing at the sushiya?? Kuranosuke-jisan keeps letting her loiter around even though she damaged the place! I wish she would leave! She keeps hitting me! Aiya! Stop hitting me!
I hate this dumb nerd so much! Go away! Why are you here! You don't deserve to even be in the presence of Ebi-sama! I'm gonna keep punching him until he's tenderized!
T-ko is very cute. She always does her best and I think that's incredible! She likes to come to the sushiya a lot and always yells at Katsura-kun. I think she's... "sun dairy"? Tsundere? Yeah. That's the word. She's tsundere for Katsura-kun.
Ebi-sama is so mature and beautiful. Her beauty is absolutely wasted on that dumb nerd Katsura. Why does she like him that much? Bah! It doesn't matter. As long as Ebi keeps smiling at me when I come by, I think I'm making progress! I'll confess to her someday! Maybe when I graduate!
Katsura-kun is my best friend! I love him to bits! I want to spend the rest of my life with him!
Ebi is my childhood friend. I enjoy spending time with her though I wish that she would study a little more seriously. I worry about her future sometimes...
Ronnie is my landlord. I am very distrustful of Ronnie at first, and I find him to be ingenuine in his motivations for helping me. I'm fairly attuned to dishonesty, and know Ronnie is lying to himself. However, with time even I am swayed by Ronnie's kindness and before long I find myself meddling too much into Ronnie's affairs, for better or worse.
Marcus is my tenant. I feel very strongly about Marcus' aspirations to be an artist and animator, and I do my best to support him. Marcus doesn't really understand why I'm helping him and my own motivations for doing so isn't well understood myself, but Marcus has undeniably become something of a son to me. I don't blame him for distrusting me.
