Summary
Mikan Yamamura is a dedicated mangaka whose signature look features a tangerine perched on her head, a quirk shared by her entire family, including her pet Scottish fold cat. She shares a close bond with Kanata and Miyu, a relationship built on mutual support; Mikan frequently assists them, and they have previously aided her in her work. Her handsome younger brother, Mizuki Yamamura, serves as the inspiration for one of the characters in her manga and regularly helps her with her tasks. Due to the pressure of looming deadlines, Mikan is often in a state of panic, frequently seeking consolation at Kanata’s house. During these visits, she has had several narrow escapes from discovering the secret held by Miyu and Kanata. Mizuki notes that Mikan remains steadfast in her dream of becoming a manga artist, even in the face of her father’s preference for her to become a baker. Her career has proven to be quite popular so far. While Mikan typically appears plain, stressed, and comical, she reveals herself to be quite attractive when wearing makeup or when she is relaxed. Her name is a playful nod to the series’ author, Mika Kawamura. Etymologically, Mikan translates to tangerine, and Yama means mountain, though the term Yamabuki refers to an orange-yellow color.
