sawamura ayako

A tough, distant girl, she is the only one capable of catching Minatsu's pitches. She harbors a crush on Coach Yamazakura and agrees to join the softball club, which leads to dating him. After being rejected by Yamazakura, she steps away from softball but returns for the team's sake, not for Yamazakura's. She eventually ends up with the new teacher, Somei, who is attracted to her upon discovering she is one of the few women he isn't deathly afraid of, besides his mother. (Source: Wikipedia)
