Description
Kaede is the attendant and childhood friend of Chifusa, whose unwavering loyalty led her to abandon the Manyū clan alongside her mistress. This act of defiance resulted in the punitive confiscation of her breasts, leaving her flat-chested and marginalized in a society that does not consider those with small breasts fully human. Despite her subordinate position, Kaede often takes charge, particularly in managing finances and restraining Chifusa’s impulsive nature.
Her personality provides comic relief, frequently expressed through a pronounced fixation on Chifusa’s physique, including attempts to fondle, suckle, or massage her breasts. This behavior, combined with visible envy when others show interest in Chifusa, strongly implies romantic feelings, leading many characters to assume a lesbian relationship between them, though such feelings are never explicitly confirmed. Kaede reacts with intense anger to comments about her own breast size, often sparking arguments with Chifusa.
Her role differs between adaptations: in the manga, she appears only in the first chapter and a flashback where Chifusa abandons her to avoid a fugitive life, after which Kaede is captured. The anime expands her role significantly, making her a permanent traveling companion and deuteragonist. A dedicated episode depicts her encounter with Sakuji, a painter disillusioned with large breasts who develops feelings for her and proposes marriage; Kaede declines politely.
Her backstory reveals she was originally well-endowed, but Kagefusa, Chifusa’s sister, stripped her of her breasts as punishment for defecting. In one punitive incident, Kagefusa subjected her to a forced orgasm. Despite becoming an outcast, Kaede expresses no regret for following Chifusa, though she occasionally feels jealousy toward Chifusa’s bust and hopes her friend will master the Breast Flow technique to restore her original figure.
In OVA content, her behavior is further exaggerated, including an instance of tribadism with Chifusa that Chifusa stops. She exhibits clingy jealousy when others attempt to woo Chifusa away from her, but generally remains a kind and polite individual.
