Ayumi Arihara

Ayumi Arihara (有原 あゆみ Arihara Ayumi) is a second year in middle school and the focus of Chapter 1 where she is one day asked out by Misao Zaitsu. Although she claims she would accept any offer, she is consistently unsettled by Misao's monstrous appearance. However, she shows she can be somewhat caring as well as crafty. She has a crush on Mamoru (Misao's younger brother) after he carries her to the infirmary in the manner that she dreams of: carried like a princess by a prince. At the end of the anime, she tries to decide between the two Zaitsu brothers, whether to choose the one who likes her (Misao) or the one she likes (Mamoru). In the Manga, she rejects Misao and tells him she doesn't want to give up just yet on her first love.
