Mari Kazaoka

Mari Kazaoka is Haruki Kitahara's boss at his part-time job as a magazine publisher. Mari is a strict boss who works everyone like mad, but she is actually kind and caring as she likes Haruki Kitahara because of his capability at work, but she sees that he is just overloading himself with work in a self-destructive way. Although she is a competent member of the working society and good at socializing, her passion and confidence in work along with the tough exterior but cute interior is, for Haruki, somewhat reminiscent of Kazusa Touma.
