Description
Natsumi Asaoka, known by the nickname Eru, is the female protagonist of The Kabocha Wine: Nita no Aijō Monogatari. She is a student at Sunshine Academy and stands out for her tall stature, standing approximately 1.80 meters, which is notably taller than the average Japanese girl of her age. Her appearance includes long brown hair and black eyes, and she is often seen in her cheerleading uniform as a member of the school's cheerleading club. Natsumi comes from a supportive family; her mother runs a flower shop, and she helps with household chores, showing a diligent and responsible side.
Her personality is warm and open-hearted. She is sweet, cheerful, and agreeable, yet also stubborn and energetic. Natsumi is intelligent and judicious, but she does not hesitate to be direct about her feelings. This is most evident in her immediate and deep infatuation with Shunsuke Aoba, a short, headstrong transfer student who initially claims to dislike women. Despite their size difference and Shunsuke's prickly demeanor, Natsumi pursues him wholeheartedly and becomes his girlfriend. She is unembarrassed about physical intimacy, often allowing Shunsuke to touch her or see her naked, which contrasts with his more reserved nature.
Her primary motivation is her love for Shunsuke and her desire to support him in his daily life at school and beyond. She acts as a grounding and caring presence for him, often helping him with his mother's clothing shop and mediating his conflicts with others. In the movie Nita no Aijō Monogatari, she is temporarily deceived by a delinquent named Takizawa, but Shunsuke rescues her, reaffirming their bond. Natsumi's role in the story is that of the devoted love interest and a catalyst for Shunsuke's personal growth. Her key relationships include her close friendship with classmates Komachi and Madoka, and her rivalry with the character Nagon Hikarikouji. She is also deeply attached to the school's pet dog Nita, whose puppies become a central plot point in the film.
Over the course of the series, Natsumi remains consistently loyal and caring, but she also shows resilience when faced with challenges, demonstrating that her kindness is paired with inner strength. Her notable abilities are primarily social and domestic: she is a capable cheerleader, a helpful homemaker, and an emotionally perceptive individual who can defuse tense situations with her optimism. Her physical stature is also a recurring attribute, used for both comedic and dramatic effect, as she often towers over Shunsuke and uses her size to protect or assist him.
