Azusa Murasaka

Azusa Murasaka (村坂) is one of Naho's best friends who supports her throughout the series. She is often seen arguing with Hagita, but has a cheerful personality.

Appearance
In Azusa's present self, she has strawberry blonde hair that she always keeps up with a hair tie. Her eyes are hazel-colored. She keeps her uniform outfit flexible, often times not buttoning up her jacket and wearing her skirts shorter than average. Sometimes, she doesn't wear her jacket or vest, other times, we can see her swapping out her green school jacket with a casual one. When she isn't dressed in her school uniform, she's seen sporting casual clothes, such as a striped t-shirt with a cotton sweater, or wearing cute pink shorts. Her hair tie changes from time to time, but the most noticeable one she uses is a hair tie with two white balls in the center. She also wears earrings, which changes depending on which outfit she is in.

In Azusa's future self, her hair is always up, but the style changes from time to time. Sometimes, she wears a ponytail while other times, her hair is up in a bun, and her hair still remains kept up by a cute hair tie. She wears trendy and fashionable outfits. In one of her outfits, she's seen donning a black and white polka-dotted overall with a knitted sweater, brown shoes, and hoop earrings.

Her height is 154cm and blood type is O.

Personality
Azusa is shown to be cheerful, playful, and kind to her friends. She, along with Takako and Suwa, is usually one of Naho's friends that encourages her, supports her, and defends her (especially from Ueda). She's very mischievous, but has proven to be serious and understanding when the time calls for it. She accepted many of the nicknames she received in middle school, proving her to be open-minded to most things. In the future, her personality stays relatively the same, but as with the others, she gains a sense of maturity. In the alternate timeline, she states that one of her biggest regrets was knowing Kakeru and Naho liked each other, but similar to Suwa, never said anything.
