Akira Yamashita

Yama is a tomboy with a loud, friendly personality. She is shown to desire to be popular, as shown in episode 10 when she prayed twice to be popular, saying it was that important. Like Ami, she is kind and supportive of Hiyori, but also likes to tease her. This is shown when Hiyori said that she was going to meet a younger boy and pretended to announce to everyone that Hiyori was having illicit relations with a younger boy. She also showed slight jealousy Hiyori had a "boyfriend", showing Yama has a strong interest in boys. This is reinforced in Chapter 27 where it is shown that she has a crush on Fujisaki, but is too shy to ask him for his email so begs Hiyori to do so. However, she ends up dating his friend Abe instead since she spent more time with him on the group date and because he shared many things in common with her. In Chapter 58, Hiyori discovers her boyfriend is her soulmate. She is not very smart as she often gets held back in class for makeup exams. She often worries for Hiyori when she falls asleep, often crying out that Hiyori has fallen asleep again.

Akira has short brown hair and green eyes. She is most often seen wearing her middle and later high school uniform.
