Summary

Haruna Saotome, identified as Seat Number 14, is a member of the "Library Trio" alongside Nodoka Miyazaki and Yue Ayase. Born on August 18, 1988, with blood type B, she is characterized by her light brown eyes and hair that appears green in the anime adaptation but black in the manga. As an aspiring manga artist who writes "adult" stories under the pen-name "Paru," she is an active participant in both the Manga Research Society and the Library Expedition Club. Personality-wise, Haruna presents herself as the most upbeat and energetic of her trio, enjoying tea parties and crime scenes while disliking bugs and deadlines. Although she has been on good terms with Negi since their initial meeting, she does not harbor romantic feelings for him, instead remaining content to let her friends pursue their own interests. She possesses a unique ability to sense when others are in love by using her bangs as antennae, and she claims that the scent of love resembles rotting candy almonds, which she refers to as the "love reek." Additionally, her breast size is noted to be ranked fifth within her class.
