OVA
Description
Aika Kasumi serves as the vice president of the student council at Hakuo Academy, a school primarily for students from immensely wealthy families, of which she is one of the richest. She is a seventeen-year-old girl with long fuchsia hair and green eyes, standing 160 centimeters tall.
On the surface, Aika presents the image of a sweet, kind, and gentle young woman. However, this exterior masks a sharp and calculating mind. She is deeply manipulative and has a talent for observing and exploiting the situations and weaknesses of those around her. This more cynical side is well-known to only a select few of her close friends, such as Hinagiku Katsura and Chiharu Harukaze. To keep track of the information she gathers, she maintains a notebook where she writes down the vulnerabilities of nearly everyone she meets. Despite her deceptive and opportunistic tendencies, she possesses a genuine sense of loyalty towards her friends and would not betray their trust. For instance, she immediately recognized Chiharu despite her disguise while working as a part-time maid and kept this secret for her.
Her role in the story is often that of a catalyst, using her intelligence and persuasive abilities to influence events around her. She is deeply interested in romantic relationships, a fascination that leads Nagi Sanzenin to nickname her the Love Master after witnessing Aika skillfully persuade Hayate Ayasaki to run an errand for her. Beyond her hobby of matchmaking and mischief, she becomes involved in more significant supernatural events. She comes into possession of a powerful artifact known as a King's Jewel, which she received from Mikado Sanzenin. This jewel leads her to become lost during a class trip and later connects her to the character Athena. Acting on instructions from Mikado, Aika travels to Greece to deliver her King's Jewel to Athena, a task that places her at the center of a critical moment when Athena is transformed into a child due to a curse. Following this, she helps facilitate Athena’s new life while she is in her weakened state, even arranging for her to be introduced as a young girl named Alice at Hakuo Academy.
Aika has several key relationships that define her interactions. She is a trusted friend and confidante to both Hinagiku Katsura and Chiharu Harukaze, who are aware of her true personality. Her relationship with the main protagonist, Hayate Ayasaki, is often one of teasing and manipulation, though not malicious, as she also offers him advice on his relationships with others. She acts as an advisor on matters of the heart to the younger Nagi Sanzenin. Her connection to the series' patriarch, Mikado Sanzenin, is significant, as he entrusts her with important and dangerous tasks involving the King's Jewel. The manga also reveals that Aika has a fiancé, who also appears to serve as her butler.
While she does not possess flashy combat abilities, Aika's strengths lie in her intellect, social manipulation, and information gathering. She has a noted dislike for physical exercise and is described as having poor health, slow reflexes, and no upper body strength, which resulted in her being held back a year in school. Her true power is her ability to persuade and maneuver people to achieve her desired outcome, a skill that is both her greatest asset and a source of anxiety for those who know her well.
