yamamura mikan

A budding manga artist, Mikan often sports a tangerine on her head, a quirky trait shared by her relatives and even her pet Scottish fold cat. She is a close friend of Kanata and Miyu, frequently offering them assistance while they have also supported her with her manga work. Mikan has a handsome younger brother named Mizuki Yamamura, who inspired one of the characters in her manga and often lends her a hand. Mikan frequently panics due to looming deadlines and visits Kanata's house for comfort, narrowly avoiding discovering Miyu and Kanata's secret. Mizuki notes that Mikan never abandoned her dream of becoming a manga artist, despite her father's wishes for her to become a baker. So far, Mikan has gained popularity in her career. Although she usually looks plain, stressed, or even comical, Mikan is actually very attractive when wearing makeup or when relaxed. Her name is a playful reference to the manga's author, Mika Kawamura. Interestingly, Mikan means "Tangerine," and while "Yama" means "mountain," the word "Yamabuki" translates to "orange-yellow."
