Yakumo Tsukamoto

Yakumo Tsukamoto is a girl that carries a strong presence with her wherever she goes. She can hear the thoughts of people who have strong feelings for her, a member of the Tea Club and she works at Cafe Mercado. Yakumo makes her debut appearance in chapter 1 of the manga (Episode 1 in the anime). Her picture appears on the cover of Volume 2. She is also the featured character of the second image album. She is also referred to as Imouto-san/Tenma Tsukamoto's sister by Kenji Harima. Yakumo is a beautiful, shy, smart, caring and soft-spoken girl with strong family ties. Thus, in Yakumo's case, her dependency would be Tenma Tsukamoto and Yakumo has a strong personal duty to house work, cleaning, and is very diligent and well-mannered. She accepts the social position of caretaker and executes her responsibilities without complaints. She does not have a personal agenda or goals and her sole desire is to serve her family. This persona relates her closely to the generic female role in Asia but also crosses her over into another classification "the Housewife", or Yamato Nadeshiko, which is commonly found in male audience oriented anime. On top of her house duties, Yakumo's demure and shy nature blends with her acute mannerism to portray the perfect wife candidate. This character trait is further emphasized by Yakumo's ability to excel in almost everything, such as sports, schoolwork, and games. She is well knowledgeable and elegant yet has a high tolerance. She is never overtly angry nor does she show signs of frustration. Despite this, she has quite a taciturn and calm personality, she speaks much and mumbles somewhat childishly when embarrassed. Additionally, she has a sleeping habit on some place and for this people call her Spring Goddess.
