OVA
Description
Ui Nakatsugawa, a second-year high school student in the rural town of Yamabiko, sports long peachy-pink hair secured with a heart-shaped pin and a small right-side ponytail, complemented by bluish-green eyes and a height of 156 cm. She typically wears her school uniform—a pale peachy shirt with a brown tie, red skirt, knee-length brown socks—and a yellow hair ribbon.
Energetic, carefree, and outgoing, Ui enjoys widespread popularity despite her naive nature relative to peers. She exhibits an enormous appetite, especially for sweets like cheese-flavored Umaibo snacks, often carrying them. Her airheaded clumsiness contrasts with her openly kindhearted demeanor. As a childhood crybaby, she heavily depended on her older brother, calling him "onii-chan," a dependency that fuels lingering emotional needs and occasional wishes for similar attention from others, including Kazuma Hoshino.
A lifelong Yamabiko resident, Ui cherishes her town deeply and desires to remain there permanently. Her brother's distant marriage contributes to her sporadic loneliness.
Ui meets Kazuma Hoshino while guiding him through a forest path on his first day in town; an accidental fall results in their first kiss, witnessed by her best friend Ibuki Hinata, sparking Ibuki's initial hostility. Their relationship evolves distinctly across adaptations: in the anime, Ui gradually develops romantic feelings, leading to mutual confessions in the finale and a coupledom. In the visual novel, romantic outcomes vary by route—Kazuma may leave town or stay with Ui—with a bonus Valentine's Day patch adding supplementary scenes.
Ui shares a close bond with childhood friend Ibuki Hinata, who acts protectively in an older-sister role. She interacts with the Toudou sisters—Tsumugi, Koyori, and Kasane—and faces jealousy from Madoka Komoto. Her family includes unnamed parents and her brother, though they feature minimally in the narrative.
