Takeko Nishino

A female student who tends to be isolated in class, similar to Ibuki. She shows a strong-willed side, such as when she opposed Ryūen during the search for the culprit in Volume 6 of the first-year arc. During the school trip, she ends up in the same group as Ayanokōji.

Character Design

According to Tomose, since Takeko Nishino's position allows for drawing a unique look that other main characters can't have, he was able to fully express his preferences with features like "sanpaku eyes" and "plump lips." Kinugasa mentioned that her appearance was fine at an average level, but Tomose noted that she became a bit cuter when considering pairing her with Daichi Ishizaki.
