Yukari Sakuragi

Yukari was a kind and friendly girl who got along well with her classmates. But she really wanted to play along with Izumi and the whole class, so she followed them by ignoring Mei, too. She seems to have a bit of an anger problem, as she shouted at Kōichi when she got irritated by his probing. She even seems to be clumsy, because she fell and sprained her ankle, which later prevented her from participating in P.E. class, and slipped on the stairs, which caused her death.

left|thumb|Yukari's appearance in the manga. Yukari's appearance between the manga and anime is quite different. In the anime, Yukari is a light-skinned, slightly plump girl of slightly short stature. She has short curly brown hair, collected in a half-up and half-down hairstyle, tied back with a small bun, and her eyes are brown, accompanied by circular lenses with light green frames. She wears the typical female school uniform and is also shown in a long pink dress with a yellow shirt underneath. In the manga, she has straight black hair and black eyes. Her glasses are also different: while they have round lenses in the anime, in the manga, they are elliptical. In the film, her appearance is the same as in the manga, but she doesn't wear glasses.
