Yuri Makita

Yuri Makita is a girl whose high school life is parallel to Futaba Yoshioka's middle school life whom she soon became friends with. Yuri gets by very well, however, for she prefers to be hated for who she truly is than to be liked for someone she isn't. She develops a crush on Kou Tanaka after he helps her during a class leader's camp and she greatly treasures her friendship with Futaba, but she often gets jealous of Futaba's closeness with Kou. However, she eventually gets over her feelings for Kou and she is now going out with Haruhiko Uchimiya. Yuri is a very cute, adorable and petite pale-skinned girl (that makes her loved by all the guys, but hated by the girls in her class) with chin-length reddish-brown hair that has straight bangs hanging over her eyebrows, wide hazel eyes and she is known to be the epitome (a person or thing that is a perfect example of a particular quality or type) of a "sweet little girl". It hasn't been shown that she does much with her hair, except for during the festival she wore one side of hair pulled back by a flower accessory. Yuri's personality is a very cute, cuddly and innocent girl that makes her loved by the guys but hated by the girls. Although she was alone at a period of time in her high school life, she accepted the fact that she's disliked where she first became close friends with Futaba Yoshioka, then Shuko Murao, Kou Tanaka and Aya Kominato and Yuri is loved by all of them. Yuri tends to keep a smile in front of people (even when she's feeling down), for instance she answered so casually and pretended to be fine when Yoshioka stated she also likes Kou (but ends up going into the bathroom and crying). No matter how much she cries over Yoshioka and Kou's relationship, she doesn't let anything ruin her and Yoshioka friendship. Yuri also respects people's secrets, if she knows something that someone holds of value, she keeps quiet. Yuri might be very kind hearted, but she still has a jealous streak and can get somewhat annoyed by Toma Kikuchi.
