 Aiko Muto (Muto Aiko) is a classmate of Yamato Kurosawa and Mei Tachibana. Aiko has liked Yamato for a long time, but he hasn't reciprocated her feelings and she is currently dating Masashi Tachikawa

Appearance[]

Aiko has sleek mid-back length auburn-brown hair, dark brown eyes that are smaller than any other female character in the series and she is noticeably taller than Mei Tachibana. She has a slim and athletic figure which she obtained through excessive dieting. She is shown to have stretch marks on her stomach as a result.

Aiko is seen wearing five earrings: two red studs on her right ear and three silver hoops on her left.

In years prior to when the anime takes place, Aiko had noticeable acne and was roughly 40 pounds heavier. Seeking to satisfy her boyfriend(s), she began dieting and became self-conscious about her skin, purchasing and wearing an assortment of beauty products in an attempt to cover her imperfections. Much to her dismay, the products only worsened her complexion.

At that time, Aiko had curly locks held back with a black headband.

Personality[]

Aiko seems brash, bad-mouthed and mean at first, but she is actually a nice girl and supportive friend. Her personality seems to have a "wall" that blocks others from getting friendlier with her unless she gets to know them or, in a way, trusts them.

Background[]

Aiko used to be chubby, but she was okay with it as long as her boyfriend liked her. She spent much time trying to look beautiful, using cosmetics. Yamato Kurosawa noted that she doesn't need any makeup, which made Aiko fall for him because he was the first person who saw the real "her". One day, she saw her boyfriend with another girl and looked for comfort from Yamato while breaking down and crying in his arms. Aiko asked Yamato to sleep with her, due to Yamato saying that she is beautiful just the way she is and his answer was positive. Aiko has been in love with Yamato since then. After breaking up with her boyfriend, she lost 17 kilograms in two months. It was for Yamato to see the beautiful side of Aiko.  

Synopsis []

At the beginning, Aiko disliked Mei Tachibana because she was in the way of her and Yamato Kurosawa. She doubted Mei's intentions, thinking that Mei doesn't love Yamato enough or as much as she does. Soon Aiko realized that despite Mei's awkwardness, her love for him was real. After confessing to Yamato without him feeling the same, getting her mind at peace she started to respect Yamato's and Mei's relationship and is now a friend of Mei.

Aiko's quick weight loss caused her marks in her stomach, and she's still a bit insecure about herself. Aiko's insecurity and embarrassment can be seen while she's sleeping with and she often hides herself from him. Masashi has liked Aiko even when she was chubby and assures that everything about her is fine for him. He is also the only person who Aiko can show all of her.

Trivia[]
