Naruko Anjou

Naruko "Anaru" Anjou, is a member of the Super Peace Busters and a childhood friend of Jinta "Jintan" Yadomi, Atsumu "Yukiatsu" Matsuyuki, Tetsudō "Poppo" Hisakawa, Chiriko "Tsuruko" Tsurumi and Meiko "Menma" Honma. Naruko is a slim young woman of average height with wavy mid-length orange hair that is usually tied up into two pigtails by a star shaped accessory on each pigtail with bangs/a single hair strand hanging on the left side and brown eyes. She usually wears a school outfit consisting of a white, collared shirt with rolled up sleeves, a red bow, a light pink hair tie bracelet on her left wrist, a dark magenta skirt and a dark red belt with a gold buckle, dark blue, mid-calf socks and brown shoes. As a kid, she had chin-length brown hair and she wore glasses with a very dark grey rim. She wears a purple shirt with a yellow shooting star on it, a white skirt, blue running shoes and a light blue handbag. Naruko displays a cold attitude towards Jinta "Jintan" Yadomi, especially while in front of her friends, but is secretly worried about his well-being. Naruko is described as a person who is easily influenced by others, hanging out with and playing along with the actions of other girls around her even when she doesn't agree with them. Chiriko "Tsuruko" Tsurumi comments that Naruko has not changed over the years: she is still easily persuaded by everyone around her. Naruko seems to be popular in high school and gets along well with girls that Chiriko deems "sluts." While they have grown apart, Naruko seems to care deeply about her childhood friends. She attends the same high school as Jinta and is closest to him at the start of the series, even dropping off homework for him while he refuses to attend class. She tells him that she is disappointed by his current lifestyle, but still shows lingering feelings, even painting her nails before she goes to see him. She works at a video game store and has a large collection of manga and video games herself. Because of this collection, she started reconnecting with Jinta and Tetsudō "Poppo" Hisakawa.
