Haruka is the cousin of Masamune and Chinatsu.
Appearance[]
Haruka as a child
Haruka is a small girl about the same height as Kinue Hayase, Masamune's mother. Due to being in fifth grade she has a childlike appearance, similar to that of her aunt. Haruka has light brown hair tied in pigtails, adorned with blue and white beaded hair bands.
In the past, however, she was a bit chubby, causing Masamune to not recognise her.
Personality[]
Haruka is a typical fifth grader girl being happy to visit her cousin, Masamune. However, she cried as Masamune threw her on the ground thinking she was his mother.
Haruka is very fond of her cousin, Masamune Makabe and wanted to be his girlfriend in the future, proposing to wait for him.
Plot[]
Haruka and her mother first appear in episode 13 (OVA) where Masamune mistakes Haruka for his mother by accident.
As Masamune returns home, Haruka awaits and immediately tries to hug him. Masamune mistakes her for his mother and throws her to the ground. As Haruka begins to cry, Kinue tries to console her, as well as scolding Masamune for being mean to the little girl.
As Chinatsu arrived, she immediately thought that Masamune was picking on their mother, making her cry. She then grabs her brother by the collar and shouts at him.
Asae then appears and makes the remark that Masamune and Chinatsu are as close as ever.
Later in the episode, Chinatsu brought some costumes for Haruka and Kinue to wear. Chinatsu decided to take pictures of both her mother and cousin in various costumes.
