misonoo nanako

Nanako is a sweet and generous 16-year-old girl who simply wishes to "be loved by others, even if only a little," with no intention of causing harm. She finds herself abruptly immersed in a world that could profoundly transform her as she becomes a member of the Sorority, an elite school organization accessible only to the wealthiest, most beautiful, and sophisticated girls—the dream of all younger students. Nanako's acceptance, decided by Lady Miya, sets off a whirlwind of envy, "retaliations," and threats around her, leading to her disbelief and desperation in the face of such violence directed at her. After losing Tomoko's support for a while and becoming the object of sometimes excessive attention from the devoted yet troubled Mariko Shinobu, Nanako finds solace in writing letters to her "dear brother," Takehiko. She also cherishes the friendship of Kaoru, who protects her on multiple occasions, and especially in her deep interest in the charming and mysterious Saint Just, with whom Nanako feels a close connection through shared sufferings.
