Akemi

The central character of this story is the assistant manager of Snack Basue, a small establishment in a rural town in Hokkaido. While she is beautiful in appearance, her eccentric behavior and unusual remarks often surprise those around her. Whenever she starts something, snappy comments from regular customers are always to be expected. She shows an unusually strong interest in both money and violence compared to ordinary people. Although she appears to have no worries, her luck in romance is extremely poor: she is easily attracted to hopeless men and is currently burdened with a large amount of debt from a previous boyfriend. She usually plays the role of the comic foil in the group, but at times, she also serves as the voice of reason.
