Honoka Sawada is a second-year student at Katagiri Senior High School. She possesses waist-length black hair with bangs and chin-length strands framing her face, along with a distinctive mole beneath her left eye. Significantly shorter than Izumi Miyamura, she typically wears her school uniform with the shirt tucked in, gray Converse shoes, and gym shorts under her skirt. Sawada displays a clingy and possessive attachment to Kyouko Hori, often hugging her or latching onto her out of jealousy, especially when Hori interacts with Miyamura. She actively pushes Miyamura away, viewing him as a romantic rival for Hori's affection, expressing hostility towards him while showering Hori with physical closeness. Her past holds deep trauma: the loss of her older brother, to whom she was profoundly close, prior to the series. This event fuels a fear of men, causing her to freeze, flee, or hide when approached by males. She also fears loud or outgoing individuals like Shuu Iura and struggles with general introversion, finding it difficult to connect with classmates. Sawada's relationship with Miyamura shifts beyond initial rivalry. Noticing his resemblance to her deceased brother, she begins to see him as a brotherly figure. Living next door, she frequently visits his home unannounced, sometimes climbing onto his balcony late at night seeking comfort during moments of fear or loneliness. Miyamura provides a safe haven, inviting her in for cake and offering protection, such as stepping in when boys bother her. This bond aids her slow progress in overcoming her fear of men. Her development includes gradually acclimating to Miyamura's male friends, though interactions with figures like Iura carry comedic tension. Despite limited screen time, she shows incremental growth in tolerating male presence, largely facilitated by Miyamura's steady support. Her intense devotion to Hori remains a constant throughout.
