Yadano Makeru (
Appearance[]
Yadano sports low twin tails tied on the back of her shoulders and bangs cut above her eyebrows. She is usually seen wearing a beaded bracelet. Yadano has pastel pink hair.
In Chapter 205, it's revealed that Yadano's height and weight are 155.8 cm and 53.8 kg, respectively.
Personality[]
Yadano is a competitive, sporty, and bold girl. She's the self-proclaimed rival of Komi, always setting the goal of beating her (but failing) in anything like physical exams, races or even in final exams, often claiming a tie to her own benefit or getting upset when she loses at Komi.
She often shows a very confident demeanor and at times drives to high-and-almighty personality, which somehow ends up being attractive for some people at the high school (specially by Chiarai Shigeo)
Yadano's main flaw (and identity) is that she doesn't like losing, when she feels that is going to win just to end up losing, she often tantrums or enrages over it, giving her a bad sportsmanship.
However, Yadano has her own values like never giving up and giving her best, always trying to improve herself, something that was lately acknowledged by Komi herself.[2]
History[]
Yadano is the self-addressed rival of Komi Shouko. She is often seen struggling on her own, pretending as if Komi has accepted her rivalry each time being defeated by Shouko's results. In comparison to Shouko's "goddess" position in their, class Yadano has called herself the "commoner". Even so, she has her own fan club consisting of mostly masochistic type male students.
Yadano begins high school with all the other students, but makes a major appearance during the physical examinations. She declares that she is only a humble subject, but has a defining goal of beating Komi in the physical (or anything at all). When Komi bests her in all categories, Yadano considers if she bribed the teachers, and employs some questionable logic to assure that they "tied". Yadano is optimistic on the fitness tests, but Komi again defeats her, occasionally substantially, making her frustrated. She gives it her all on the 50M dash, motivating herself beforehand, but is overcome by Komi's beauty as she runs and falls behind. She humbly accepts defeat, and goes to shake Komi's hand, but when she is too nervous to extend hers, Yadano misinterprets her, thinking that she views her as a formidable opponent. Yadano declares herself Komi's rival, and runs off with fresh enthusiasm.
After the exams, Yadano sneaks a peek at Komi's test results, and sees, to her despair, that hers were lower by a considerable amount. She yells in anger, scaring Komi briefly.
She appears, briefly, at the summer festival at a shooting gallery, and again Komi beats her, as Yadano misses every shot, resorting to leaning her gun over the counter to get closer. She again declares a tie (without reasoning) and walks away, taking the gun by mistake.
Yadano makes an appearance in Komi's dream, in which she has a small black speck on her face, along with all the other students. She is irritated as Komi arrived in the classroom before her, biting her shirt with her teeth.
Yadano competes in the baton race at the sports festival, in Komi's group, instead of competing against her as usual. She runs to Komi, the wind pressure pulling her face back, as Netsuno gives her 67.4 degrees for her effort. She and her competitor reach Komi and Netsuno at the same time, allowing Komi to keep up the pressure and come in 2nd place, despite Komi momentarily falling to the muddy ground.
For the culture festival, Yadano suggests something like bowling or billiards, some sort of competition, with winners and losers. Yadano's secret fan club, Chiari including, are ecstatic towards the idea, as Tadano is surprised that such a club exists. Yadano's suggestion is tied with all of the others, which most likely frustrated her.
Yadano appears a game in the culture festival, wearing a full black suit and sunglasses, chasing Komi and Tadano while Otori sits in cage. 3 minutes remain, and the prize is ice cream. It is unknown what the game entails, I'm gonna be honest.
