Kaede

楓

Chifusa's attendant and her best friend since childhood. She remains eternally loyal to Chifusa, even deserting the Manyuu clan to follow her friend. Although she is Chifusa's subordinate, she often gives her friend orders, particularly regarding money management or starting fights.
The manga and anime repeatedly imply that Kaede is secretly in love with Chifusa. This is shown through her jealous behavior when Chifusa is near men and her constant attempts to play with Chifusa's large breasts. Because of these actions, most people who encounter Chifusa and Kaede assume they are lesbians.
Kaede is far less serious than Chifusa Manyuu. She serves as the story's comic relief, always trying to fondle, suckle, and worship Chifusa's breasts, or devising schemes to do so. She also becomes very angry when people comment on her breast size, especially Chifusa, which usually leads to them fighting.
