Hashiba, Miki

羽柴美紀

Miki is a first-year high school student and a sprinter on the school's track and field team. She is best friends with Suzuka Asahina and, later, Yamato. Before attending the same high school, Miki had often crossed paths with Suzuka at track meets and disliked her because Suzuka seemed cold and aloof. However, once Miki realized that Suzuka's distant demeanor stemmed from her perfectionist tendencies and dedication to her sport, she came to respect Suzuka, and they became friends. Although initially attracted to Yamato Akitsuki, she immediately suppresses her own feelings upon realizing he is infatuated with her best friend, Suzuka. Miki is extremely loyal to her friends and will do anything to help them. She constantly meddles in their affairs and can be quite relentless in forcing them to confront their feelings. When asked what is most important to her in life, her answer is simply, "Friends!"
