Yumi (由美) is a girl from Futaba Yoshioka and Kou Mabuchi's middle school who was Futaba's best friend in middle school and Futaba describes her as an "important existence" during her middle school days.

But she suddenly stopped talking to Futaba and left her all alone because she thought that Futaba had liked Naito, a guy she liked in middle school.

Appearance

Yumi is described as a fair skinned teenage girl of average height and build. She has shoulder length, light brown hair and matching brown eyes. In middle school, as seen flashbacks through Futaba's memories, her hair was seen much shorter.

Relationships

Naito

It is stated that Yumi holds romantic feelings Naito during middle school where Yumi's misinterpretation of Futaba Yoshioka and Naito's relationship, caused her to isolate Yoshioka. It was never mentioned if there was something that went on between Yumi and Naito, although Yumi seems to be friendly and close enough to Naito when they were in middle school.

Futaba Yoshioka

Yumi was Futaba's only friend from middle school. Futaba considers her as an "important existence" into her middle school days. But one day, Yumi stopped talking to Futaba leaving Futaba all alone by herself and wondering why Yumi stopped talking to her. But one day, during their second year of high school, Yumi meets Futaba again and finally talks properly to her (Episode 7 and Chapter 9). Yumi thought that Futaba liked Naito, the guy she liked from what she heard rumors from other girls and states that is the reason why she stopped talking to her.

Yumi apologized to Futaba and the two seemed to be in good terms now.
