Description
Sakuya Kamiyama is a wealthy first-year high school student whose parents built new school dormitories to suit her wishes. Outwardly cheerful and energetic, she privately battles depression stemming from an isolated upbringing and limited social interaction due to her family's status. She reluctantly attends school but negotiated dormitory living to gain independence. Her hobbies involve online auctions, canoeing, and observing Kanade Sakurai, one of the central twin sisters.
Sakuya develops an obsessive romantic fixation on Kanade, openly declaring love and persistently stalking her. This includes collecting Kanade's personal belongings without permission, taking non-consensual daily photographs, and bribing Kanade's twin sister Yukino with snacks for photos and information. Elaborate fantasies about physical closeness—bathing together, sharing a bed, romantic dates—often overwhelm her, causing nosebleeds. She actively schemes to create intimacy, manipulating situations to skip school with Kanade or planning private arrangements like a dedicated soundproof dormitory floor. Kanade consistently rejects her advances.
Her actions drive significant plot points. She resolves a financial crisis caused by Kanade's impulsive gift by providing airplane tickets, enabling a trip to Hokkaido where she tries to ingratiate herself with Kanade's family. During this trip, she explains her infatuation to the twins' younger sister Shizuku, citing Kanade's kindness as the catalyst. In OVA episodes, her attempts to orchestrate voyeuristic photography scenarios, like inviting the twins to a private swimming pool, are thwarted, though Shizuku later gives her a photo in gratitude. She despairs upon realizing Yukino's irreplaceable role in Kanade's life but remains undeterred.
Manga spin-offs in an alternate continuity expand her role with additional characters. Classmates like Isako Mikanagi, initially positioning herself as Sakuya's rival for Kanade, instead develop romantic feelings for Sakuya, creating shifting love triangles. These storylines depict Sakuya within a broader social circle, though her obsession with Kanade persists. Her wealthy background, genki personality, comedic nosebleeds, and romantic delusions continue in this continuity.
Throughout all media, she maintains an ambiguous friendship with the Sakurai twins, who tolerate her disruptive presence. Sakuya shows minimal evolution regarding her core obsession, though moments of vulnerability surface—tearfully cherishing a trivial gift from Kanade or expressing loneliness during holidays. Her final narrative arc involves advocating for Kanade's reconciliation with Yukino during their estrangement, demonstrating a fleeting awareness of their emotional needs over her own desires.
