Honoka Sawada, a second-year Katagiri High student, sports waist-length black hair with bangs, blue-grey eyes, and a distinctive mole beneath her left eye. At 150 cm, her striking resemblance to Izumi Miyamura—shared hairstyles and facial features—fuels frequent comparisons, casting their bond as sibling-like. Introverted yet fiercely attached to Kyouko Hori, Honoka’s jealousy flares when Hori interacts with Miyamura, her romantic feelings for Hori driving open displays of physical affection. Her rivalry with Miyamura masks a deeper complexity: a brotherly connection rooted in the loss of her older sibling, Akihisa, whose resemblance to Miyamura bridges grief and tentative kinship. Trauma shapes Honoka’s world—Akihisa’s death ignited androphobia, isolating her through fear of loud men like Shuu Iura and past bullying. Miyamura’s nearby presence becomes a lifeline; his quiet gestures—shared meals, shielding her from harassment—nurture fragile trust, easing her into friendships with Tooru Ishikawa and Kakeru Sengoku. Her arc weaves growth through vulnerability. Early comedic clashes with Miyamura soften into reliance on his guidance, marked by moments like seeking solace at his home during nighttime fears or joining Hori’s family dinners. These steps trace her halting journey from solitude to hesitant belonging. Born December 31 under Capricorn, Honoka ranks 10th in character polls. While her brother’s death remains unexplained, threads of unresolved grief and loneliness linger in her interactions, unspoken yet palpable beneath her evolving connections.
