OVA
Description
Kurimu Sakurano presides as president of Hekiyou Academy's 32nd Student Council. She possesses pink or reddish hair and green eyes, coupled with a notably petite and youthful appearance. This contrasts sharply with her self-perception of having an F-cup bust and standing 170 cm tall, a discrepancy that frequently becomes a source of jokes among peers regarding her childish stature.
Her background includes a period of significant isolation lasting eight years during middle school, stemming from conflicts among adults that initially deterred other children from interacting with her. This isolation persisted even after the conflicts resolved, leaving her socially withdrawn. This changed upon meeting Anzu Tsuyuri during a hospital visit. Their pivotal friendship led to Kurimu promising Anzu, who faced a high-risk operation, to make more friends. This promise motivated Kurimu's extensive efforts to connect with others upon entering Hekiyou Academy, including the initially distant Chizuru Akaba. She previously held the position of vice-president for the 31st Student Council.
Kurimu exhibits a blend of immaturity and leadership. She often initiates discussions with philosophical quotes or grand ideas but struggles to conduct structured meetings. Academically, she is the only council member not ranked at the top of her class. Her personality features a pronounced sweet tooth, a dislike of green peppers, and a tendency toward egocentric declarations, such as calling herself "the best student council president" or claiming a divine destiny. Anzu Tsuyuri once described her as a "child that can achieve anything if she works hard."
Her relationship with Ken Sugisaki began when he assisted her by carrying boxes or books during his first year. After hearing his struggles, she advised him to play dating sim games to learn about being a "protagonist," inadvertently sparking his obsession with galge. Later media suggests romantic feelings from Kurimu toward Ken, though she admits difficulty distinguishing between types of love, viewing her feelings for him as similar to those for Chizuru and others. Current storylines indicate they are dating.
Chizuru nicknamed her "Aka-chan," a name playing on the Japanese word for "red" (赤) derived from "crimson" (クリムゾン, *kurimuzon*), referencing her hair color, while also punning on "baby" (赤ちゃん, *aka-chan*) due to her childlike demeanor. She accepts this nickname comfortably around Chizuru but reacts defensively to teasing about her immaturity from others, particularly Ken. Her surname "Sakurano" combines "cherry blossom" (桜) and "field" (野), with familial ties suggested to Aguri Sakurano from "Gamers!" via shared setting lore.
Kurimu's development shows gradual maturity while retaining core traits. She maintains contact with Anzu despite discomfort with Anzu's post-operation personality changes and relies on her for guidance during challenges. Her commitment to fulfilling her promise to Anzu drives her persistent efforts to foster connections within the student council and broader school community.
