Kanami Mihara attends the same school as protagonist Ayumu Aikawa, moving within his social circle as a classmate and close friend to Yuki Yoshida (Tomonori) and Taeko Hiramatsu. She frequently offers them romantic advice. A member of the school's basketball club, she displays notable athletic prowess and recognized sportsmanship. Her personality radiates cheerfulness and an upbeat energy, often acting as the moodmaker among friends. Despite this generally amiable nature, she possesses a fiercely protective and volatile side, particularly towards unwanted male advances. This manifests in violent confrontations with boundary violators, including incidents causing significant property damage like demolishing restaurant interiors during rage outbursts. This volatility contrasts sharply with her otherwise mature, slightly grown-up aura. Physically, Kanami has brown hair typically styled to hip length and blue eyes. She is most often seen in the standard school uniform, occasionally accessorized with a hairclip. Her interactions with Kyosuke Orito suggest underlying romantic feelings. A notable development occurs in light novel volume 7 during a surprise mock wedding orchestrated by Haruna. Initially resistant to being paired with Ayumu as groom, Kanami's demeanor shifts when Haruna substitutes Orito instead. During the ceremony, Kanami exhibits genuine happiness and nearly confesses her feelings to Orito, though his misunderstanding prevents it. She actively participates in school events and social activities, such as a maid cafe challenge where she demonstrates resilience by outperforming others until unsettled by a forward statement from Orito, further indicating their complicated dynamic. Kanami maintains a consistent presence in group settings alongside Yuki and Taeko, contributing to both comedic and interpersonal subplots.
