Akane "Wota" Kikuchi is a high school girl in class 2-2 at Saitama Girls’ High School. She dreams of becoming a manga artist and is a huge fan of BL (Boys’ Love) stories. Her birthday is March 3rd, and she is known for being the sensible one among her wild friends, especially Nozomu "Baka" Tanaka and Shiori "Robo" Saginomiya. Despite her love for manga and anime, Akane still struggles with art and storytelling, but she always faces challenges with a tough attitude.

She is a passionate fan of the vocaloid producer “Low Income P,” not knowing he is actually her own teacher, Masataka "Waseda" Sawatari.
Akane "Wota" Kikuchi is a high school girl with a typical student look.
She has a somewhat plain appearance but is known among her friends for being a hidden “big bust.”
Her facial expressions often change, especially when she gets excited or embarrassed, turning into a “mascot-like” face during her “maiden week” mood swings.
Akane is the voice of reason within her close group of friends.
She often acts as the “straight man” who keeps everyone in check, especially when Nozomu says something ridiculous.
Her words can be rough, and she sometimes gets violent, like when she elbows Nozomu for making Saku "Loli" Momoi cry.
Akane is easily embarrassed by her own wild imagination, especially about BL couples, but still loves sharing her favorite pairings.
She is not just a BL fan—she likes many kinds of manga and anime, from magical girl stories to more serious series.
Akane has been friends with Nozomu “Baka” Tanaka and Shiori “Robo” Saginomiya since elementary school.
During middle school, she went to a different school from Shiori, so they lost touch for a while.
She was also distant from Nozomu during this time.
Now, she is in class 2-2 at Saitama Girls’ High School.
Akane dreams of becoming a manga artist.
She draws manga in her spare time but still struggles with drawing backgrounds and creating detailed characters.
She has made both BL stories and normal girls’ manga, like her magical girl manga “Maho de Maho” and a surreal story called “Kinpira Gobo’s Love.”
She is very creative and full of ideas, especially about her favorite ships.
Akane is closest to Nozomu “Baka” Tanaka and Shiori “Robo” Saginomiya, sharing a long friendship with both.
She keeps in touch with Nozomu over LINE chat and, even when frustrated, never really breaks their friendship.
She created the nickname “Baka” for Nozomu and is sometimes called “Wota,” which is short for “otaku,” though Nozomu does not see this as an insult.
She also interacts with Masataka “Waseda” Sawatari, her teacher, not knowing he is her favorite music producer “Low Income P.”

Friendships and School Life
Akane is part of the main trio with Nozomu “Baka” Tanaka and Shiori “Robo” Saginomiya. The three have known each other since elementary school, but there was a period in middle school where Akane lost contact with Shiori because they attended different schools. Even with this gap, she quickly reconnects when they reunite in high school.
Manga Artist Aspirations
Akane wants to be a manga artist and spends a lot of time practicing. Although her drawing skills, especially backgrounds and character details, are not perfect, she keeps trying. She creates both BL manga and regular girls’ comics and even draws a magical girl series called “Maho de Maho.” Her early work “Kinpira Gobo’s Love” is known for its quirky humor.
Otaku and BL Fan Activities
Akane is a big otaku and proud of her “fujoshi” (BL-loving) side, but she isn’t only interested in BL. She enjoys anime, games, and vocaloid music, often fangirling over “Low Income P.” She is known to have “maiden week” episodes where she is extra excitable, especially when she sees two guys together, activating her “BL eyes” that imagine everything in a BL way.
Role as the “Straight Man”
She is usually the most sensible and logical among her friends. When Nozomu or others do something silly or weird, Akane is always there with a sharp retort or even a physical reaction, like an elbow. She often responds strongly when someone embarrasses her or acts inappropriately.
Friendship Dynamics
Even though she gets frustrated by Nozomu’s silly antics, Akane always supports her friends. She shares her dreams and worries with them and values their friendship deeply, never really breaking ties even when things get tough.
