Description
Tsukasa Kasuga, a determined second-year in Holy Cross High's class 2-B and a skilled volleyball player, stands 157 cm tall and weighs 45 kg. Born November 25 with blood type O, her cheerful, energetic personality shines through her unwavering commitment to volleyball practice. This determination extends beyond sports, fueling a notably competitive streak, especially towards Mina Yayoi.
A chance encounter where she bumped into Riku Aoba cemented her belief in destiny, sparking an immediate infatuation. Interpreting the meeting as fate, she declared Riku her boyfriend on the spot, often overlooking his initial feelings or consent. She consistently uses his first name "Riku," unlike peers who call him "Aoba." Tsukasa persistently acts as his girlfriend, preparing bento lunches despite her notoriously poor cooking, described as tasting "like paint." She intermittently takes lessons from the home economics teacher, showing temporary improvement—like receiving compliments on her New Year's cooking—though skipping classes causes relapses. She later learns chocolate-making from the same teacher.
Tsukasa actively inserts herself into Riku's life, appearing wherever he goes outside class hours. Initially focused solely on her romantic ideals, she gradually recognizes her failure to acknowledge his feelings, a flaw shared with other love interests like Sayuri Amamiya and Mina. This realization prompts efforts to deepen their bond, proposing solo outings such as a beach trip, though it fails when most of their class arrives. She competes openly when Yukari Higashino declares interest in Riku, aligning with Mina to "fight for him." During the school trip to Hokkaido, she pushes herself despite illness to spend time with him, collapsing in front of him. She treasures a souvenir from this trip.
Key developments include accompanying Riku on New Year's Day alongside Mina and Sayuri, successfully giving him chocolates on Valentine's Day, and confessing her feelings after learning of his impending transfer. She receives his response at their initial meeting spot—a fountain with four dolphin statues. Within the volleyball team, Ayame Shiina first noticed her interest in Riku, and Hiromi Otama, the team captain, is eventually succeeded by Tsukasa after Hiromi's graduation.
