Description
Sayuri Amamiya is a second-year student in class 2-A at Holy Cross High School, widely recognized as the most popular girl on campus. Admired for her grace, intelligence, and skill in academics, sports, and video games, her reputation is amplified by numerous urban legends about past achievements, though she pays them little mind. She possesses long black hair, stands 162 cm tall, and was born on September 17th (Virgo) with blood type A. Her personal interests include playing the piano and collecting dolphin-themed items.
Outwardly, Sayuri presents as a reserved, seemingly perfect model student. However, she gradually reveals deeper layers, struggling significantly with expressing her emotions, especially her romantic feelings for classmate Riku Aoba. Their initial meeting occurs under a large campus tree, a location that gains symbolic importance. Unlike her peers who idolize her, Riku treats her normally, creating a space where she feels comfortable revealing her true self. This dynamic fosters her genuine affection for him, feelings she hides for much of the series. Her character evolves from closed-off to more emotionally open and vulnerable. She later acknowledges imperfections contrasting her pristine image, including a short temper, tendencies toward jealousy, and occasional dishonesty.
Her romantic journey culminates during the final Student Council event. Facing Riku's imminent transfer to another school, Sayuri publicly confesses her love beneath the symbolic tree. She declares how he helped her shed her facade and embrace authenticity, stating she no longer wishes to hide her true self. Her feelings are reciprocated, leading to a committed relationship. Despite Riku's move to Kirameki High School, they maintain a long-distance connection through messages and visits. In the concluding scenes, Sayuri is depicted messaging Riku under the tree, now known as the "Wishing Tree," reaffirming her love and their enduring bond across the distance. Her story emphasizes themes of self-acceptance and the courage to pursue personal happiness beyond societal expectations.
