During the summer she spends most of her time working in a cafe down by the beach. Because of this, she&#039;s very tanned except for tan-lines caused by her swimsuit. She notices that Taeko has a crush on Kaoru and spends a lot of time trying to fix the two of them up. She gets a crush on Karou a few chapters after her first appearance. On another note she&#039;s seen naked several times during the seasons by him.    A student in her first year of high school, she is energetic and often times finds herself in Kaoru&#039;s bed thinking it&#039;s her own. She has her own Kaoru doll she carries around and a small book with a picture of the two of them. Chika is one of three members in the Swiming Club; the other two are her friends Natuki Komiya and Chizuru Aizawa.    Chika&#039;s given name means &quot;near&quot;.    

Kaoru Hanabishi, a college student who lives alone, met a beautiful but bewildered girl dressed in a kimono at a train station. He volunteered to guide her way to the address she was looking for, which happened to be in his neighborhood, but turned out to be an empty lot. Not knowing what to do next, Kaoru invited the devastated girl to his apartment and asked for any additional clues to her destination. She supplied him with a photo of two children whom Kauru immediately identified as himself and Aoi Sakuraba, his childhood friend. It turned out that the girl in front of him is Aoi Sakuraba herself, his betrothed fiancee who came all the way to Tokyo to marry him. Her revelation was not only surprising but also reminded the deepest part of Kaoru's memory for why he left the Hanabishi family in the first place.

Despite her family's protests, Aoi Sakuraba decides that she is going to marry Kaoru Hanabishi, her love of eighteen years. Once he realizes that her intentions are genuine - and that she's not just trying to get him to reconcile with his estranged (and domineering) family - he begins to definitely warm up to the idea, too. What obstacles must the two overcome in order to be together?
