Hanano, Sumire
Seiyuu / Dub
Summary
Sumire Hanano, born on August 7th under the Leo sign, stands 158 cm tall and weighs 50 kg with Type A blood. She enjoys macarons, grilled beef tongue, and grilled beef kalbi, and spends her free time reading Shoujo manga. As a first-year student in Class 5 at Municipal Mizusawa High School, she is a member of the Karuta Club, which is affiliated with the Shiranami Society where she holds a C Class ranking. After being dumped by her boyfriend, Sumire joins the club’s recruiting class, which consists of twenty prospective members. Although she has no initial interest in the Hundred Poets, she sets her sights on the handsome club president, Taichi Mashima, hoping to get closer to him. Despite her initial motives, she becomes genuinely attached to the club and its members through their shared passion. Sumire is a devoted makeup enthusiast who declares she will wear mascara even in a fire, describing herself as a carnivorous woman driven by a desire to be loved for her adorable self. She views love as the most important thing in life, often acting as a love-loving idiot who is deeply sensitive to matters of the heart. While she was initially attracted to Taichi’s appearance, her feelings deepen as she learns more about his character. Unlike Chihaya, who is focused on the game, Sumire is focused on romance. Even though she is aware of Taichi’s feelings for Chihaya, she refuses to back down. Her favorite song is Poem #9, titled "Colour of the flower," which reflects on how life passes vainly while watching the long rains fall.
