The cousin and arranged fiance of Sachiko; in order that a trusted man inherit the Ogasawara company, their engagement was arranged, although Sachiko detests it and denies that he is her fiancé. (It is later revealed that Sachiko once loved him and had her feelings spurned, which resulted in her disdain.)  First introduced when he is given the role of the prince in Cinderella: the joint play put on by the Hanadera school and Lillian Jogakuen. He has prestige in the Hanadera school since he is president of the Student Council there. However, by the time Sachiko reaches her third year, Suguru has already graduated.    ~!He is gay, and has a crush on Yumi's younger brother, Yuuki. He is often seen in the company of Yuuki, taking him along on trips and gatherings, doting on him much in the way that Sachiko dotes on Yumi.   He is very arrogant, and is especially disliked by Satou Sei, as both are often at loggerheads whenever they meet, bickering or making snide comments at one another. It appears that they both know of each other's sexuality.   Despite his coldness, Suguru does care deeply for Sachiko, going so far as to tell her that when they are married, she can have lovers on the outside since he will only be her husband in name only. Sachiko however finds this offensive, and comes to hate him for it, thinking him selfish. He tries to aggravate his younger cousin so that she will be more open and truthful about her feelings, rather than burying them inside.   He has taken a great liking to Yumi and notes that the younger girl has had a very profound effect on his cousin.!~

At Lillian Girls’ Academy, a renowned all-girls Catholic school, pairs of girls become soeurs, or “sisters”, in order to support and guide each other during their time at school. The shy Yumi Fukuzawa thought she was far too ordinary to attract a soeur as popular and beautiful as Sachiko Ogasawara, but for some reason, Sachiko has set her sights on Yumi — but why does she want to become Yumi’s soeur, anyway, and just what will become Sachiko’s soeur entail?

The spring term is beginning for the students at Lillian Girls' Academy. Friends are reunited, but for the Yamayuri Council, it's a bittersweet time. Yoko, Eriko, and Sei are busy preparing to depart Lillian while Sachiko, Rei, and Shimako are doing their best to ensure that their dear sisters receive a memorable commencement. 
Sei's departure will leave a sizable hole in the White Roses, and filling it won't be easy. But is there anyone who could appeal to Shimako enough to become the next Rosa Gigantea en bouton?

Life for the young women at Lillian Girls’ Academy couldn’t be more exciting!

But Yumi’s duties pale in comparison to the task assigned to her by Sachiko: choosing someone as a petite soeur! Will she be able to handle the pressure of such a monumental decision, or will Yumi crumble under the weight of the Council’s — and Sachiko’s — expectations?
