Description
Kana Iijima is a high school student in class 2-4, which places her in her second year. She is roughly sixteen to seventeen years old and has a height of 162 centimeters.

In terms of appearance, Kana has long brown hair that reaches her hips, complete with bangs that frame her face, and red-brown eyes. Her standard attire is the school uniform, which consists of a long-sleeved white top with a red sailor-style bow-tie, a pleated black miniskirt, and black knee-high socks. When outside of school, she is often seen in a light pink short dress paired with a yellow long-sleeved cardigan and black thigh-high socks.

Kana possesses a classic tsundere personality. She is argumentative and straightforward, particularly in her interactions with her boyfriend, Chiaki Uchimura, whom she sometimes hits during critical situations. Despite this aggressive exterior, she is deeply caring and loves Chiaki profoundly, having been seen crying over him on multiple occasions. She is a tomboy who enjoys sports, with a special fondness for football, and she has little interest in clubs or academics. Kana tends to be distant and introverted, being courteous to friends but awkward around strangers.

The driving motivation for Kana throughout her story is her desire for a genuine romantic relationship with Chiaki. She is stressed by his overly relaxed nature and wishes he would express his love for her directly, as his nervousness typically leads him to do so indirectly. The pair notably struggle with physical intimacy. Her role in the narrative is almost entirely defined by this relationship, which begins from a significant misunderstanding: Kana confessed to Chiaki last spring, but he misinterpreted her confession as a comedy bit. Consequently, they spent a year thinking they were dating while Chiaki believed they were simply close friends who performed comedy routines together. The turning point occurs when Kana realizes their relationship has not progressed to normal couple activities like kissing. Upon confronting Chiaki, the misunderstanding is cleared up, and they officially agree to start dating properly, continuing their shared love of comedy as a real couple.

Her primary and most significant relationship is with Chiaki Uchimura, who is her classmate and boyfriend. She is also friends with classmates including Ayaka Kamine, Takeru Gouda, Kazuko Hosokawa, and Patricia Caulfield. Regarding her abilities, Kana is athletic and enjoys playing football. She previously played volleyball in middle school but quit after entering high school because she felt her legs were getting fat from the sport.
