Matsumoto, Kurumi

松本くるみ

Writing under the pen name Subaru Kurumigawa, the shy high schooler Kurumi has secretly become the author of a manga so popular that it has been adapted into an anime. She works diligently on her manga, even to the point of falling asleep at her drawing table, yet she keeps her identity hidden from those who know her in real life. Because of the masculine tone of Kurumi's pen name, most of her audience assumes she is male (including Tanpopo, who later concludes that Kurumi is a gay man).
