Edajima, Minoru

江田島みのる

Kei's uncle and the doctor at the local clinic. Minoru is something of a lecherous rogue, constantly making wolfish remarks about the attractiveness of women who pass by. He even does so within earshot of his wife, who frequently retaliates with a measured degree of physical violence. He is openly jealous of Kei's relationship with Mizuho and is more than a little perverted (in the Japanese sense of the word). Despite this, he often covers for and helps Kei and Mizuho, such as moving Kei's possessions into the married couple's new apartment, purchasing a proper wedding ring for their private ceremony, and paying for an expensive hotel in Okinawa for their honeymoon.
