History Characters / YuriIsMyJob

** She later realizes that she loves Kanoko, who loves Hime. Despite this, she doesn't care that Kanoko has feelings for Hime [[spoiler:even after they start dating]] as long as she can see her smile. [[spoiler:After she finds out Kanoko only asked her to be her girlfriend because of a setup planned by Yoko, Sumika gently breaks up with Kanoko and encourages her to confess her love to Hime because she knows Kanoko will continue suffering as long as she keeps suppressing her jealousy over Mitsuki's closeness to Hime. Although, Sumika hasn't realized Kanoko doesn't want to break up since she has started to fall in love with Sumika as well.]]

* FakeRelationship: In Chapter 51, [[spoiler:she asks Sumika out, having been influenced by Yoko. Turns out both Kanoko and Yoko want Sumika to get over her opposition to romance, even though Sumika knows Kanoko is still in love with Hime.]]

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Same-sex example. Even though Kanoko believed she would never fall in love with anyone but Hime, she develops feelings for Sumika, who is a very kindhearted, compassionate, and selfless girl always watching out for Kanoko's well-being.

* HomoeroticDream: In chapter 45, Sumika has a dream of Kanoko confessing her love to her and taking off her clothes, which she feels uncomfortable about.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Hime doesn't know that Kanoko is in love with her, so she can't understand why Kanoko becomes so upset when she sees Hime and Mitsuki are becoming closer. After Sumika starts a conflict with Kanoko because she disapproves of Kanoko being in love with a coworker, Hime can tell something happened between them that made Kanoko feel hurt, but has no idea that the problem is about Kanoko's romantic feelings for her.

* ExtremeDoormat: Her crippling need to be loved by everyone causes her to act as somewhat of a pushover, as she can't bring herself to say no to people normally or admit anything that might upset them. This was one of the problems that lead to her fall out with Mitsuki in elementary school, since Hime didn't have the guts to admit she only wanted to hang out with Mitsuki and the other girls she pretended to be friends with spread rumors about Mitsuki bullying her. Instead of standing up for herself and Mitsuki, Hime just quit the piano and let her friendship with Mitsuki fall apart when the latter felt betrayed because of it.

** '''Dishonesty'''' While her lies worked out well for her grade school before her falling out with Mitsuki and thereafter, the series certainly shows why honesty is the best policy; her tendency towards lying and putting on an act only serves to make people mistrust her if they ever see through her, such as with Mitsuki back in grade school, and whenever her lies backfire, she has a hard time learning from her mistakes because [[CripplingOverspecialization of how over reliant she's become on them.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: She told Kanoko to stop acting like an ExtremeDoormat towards her classmates and stand up for herself when they asked for favors that she hated doing for them. However, the problems that lead to her failed friendship with Mitsuki started because Hime couldn't simply admit she disliked her other "friends" and she kept her people-pleaser behavior around them when she really wanted to only hang out with Mitsuki.

* NeverMyFault: She initially believes that Mitsuki betrayed her and blames her for having outed her as a liar in front of her classmates, which lead to Hime being ostracized. She doesn't seem to realize how her lying had left Mitsuki unable to believe her. Also, the circumstance that caused her to become ostracized would have been avoided if she had just been honest about only wanting to hang out with Mitsuki instead of clinging to her pathological need to get along with everyone, including those she hates.

* FatalFlaw:
** '''Social Ineptitude'''. Her lack of social skills and inability to read the room result in Mitsuki alienating herself from her peers by being brutally honest and tactless. [[spoiler:She makes a LoveConfession without considering how Hime will take it, leading to Hime quitting the salon in Volume 7]].

* StalkerWithACrush: Her smartphone's gallery is full of pictures of Hime, most of which were taken without Hime noticing. Kanoko's stalking is what lead her to find out about Hime's job at Café Liebe, since she followed Hime to know where she was going without her after school.

[[folder:Yoko Gouto '''(Unmarked spoilers)''']]
! Yoko Gouto (Goeido)
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (JP), Creator/ErikaUgalde (LA)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoko_gotou_anime.png]]
->"Wasn't it fun? The more the two of us got along, the more jealous and eccentric Sumika-chan became."

A former member of the salon, who'd been the first to join after the founding trio of Mai, Sumika and Nene. She'd been schwestern with Nene Saionji, which eventually developed into a romantic relationship. When she had to quit, she showed that she cared nothing for Nene.

* NeverMyFault: She instigated the whole drama that lead to Sumika and Nene breaking up their sisterhood by stealing Nene away from Sumika, yet she deflects the blame by pointing out that Nene was the one who agreed to date her just to make Sumika jealous and Sumika let it happen by deciding to not interfere with Nene's romance instead of admitting she wanted to have Nene to herself.

[[folder:Haruko Shinooka]]
!Haruko Shinooka
\\
A cook who joins the salon in Volume 9, working alongside Nene.
----
* TheDitz: She's a bit slow on the uptake and initially doesn't understand the schwester system.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She asks Nene about the schwester system, not knowing that [[spoiler:Nene was rather cruelly dumped by her schwester Yoko]].

[[/folder]]

** [[IJustWantToBeLoved Her desire to be liked by everyone]] leads to quite a few problems. At her job in the cafe, it often leads to her making impulsive actions to get attention that lead to her embarrassing herself, the others having to clean up after her, and Mitsuki scolding her. In addition, her and Mitsuki's falling out occurred in part because of the lies and fibs that she told so that everyone would like her as opposed to just being content to have a friend she can be honest with in Mitsuki.
** In relation, [[ConsummateLiar her reliance on lies and facades]]. While they've worked out well for her grade school before her falling out with Mitsuki and thereafter, the series certainly shows why honesty is the best policy; her tendency towards lying and putting on an act only serves to make people mistrust her if they ever see through her, such as with Mitsuki back in grade school, and whenever her lies backfire, she has a hard time learning from her mistakes because [[CripplingOverspecialization of how over reliant she's become on them.]]

* FatalFlaw: Her lack of social skills and inability to read the room result in Mitsuki alienating herself from her peers by being brutally honest and tactless. [[spoiler:She makes a LoveConfession without considering how Hime will take it, leading to Hime quitting the salon in Volume 7]].

* OutOfFocus: For much of Volumes 3 and 4, Mitsuki fades into the background. She still has a significant presence as the runner-up in the Blume election, but doesn't play as active of a role as in the first two volumes, since the focus is mainly on Sumika and Kanoko.

* SailorFuku: She wears one outside the salon, showing that she goes to a different high school from Hime and the others.

** She later realizes that she loves Kanoko, who loves Hime. Despite this, she doesn't care that Kanoko has feelings for Hime [[spoiler:even after they start dating]] as long as she can see her smile.

* OnlySaneMan: While Sumika has her own flaws, such as her belief that love is selfish, out of the main cast, she's generally the least likely to do something irrational. While she's biased against Goeido, she's also [[ProperlyParanoid the only one who fully comprehends how untrustworthy Goeido is]].

* ExtremeDoormat: Her crippling need to be loved by everyone causes to act as somewhat of a pushover, as she can't bring herself to say no to people normally or admit anything that might upset them. This was one of the problems that lead to her fall out with Mitsuki in elementary school, since Hime didn't have the guts to admit she only wanted to hang out with Mitsuki and the other girls she pretended to be friends with spread rumors about Mitsuki bullying her. Instead of standing up for herself and Mitsuki, Hime just quit the piano and let her friendship with Mitsuki fall apart when the latter felt betrayed because of it.

* JerkassHasAPoint: As harsh as it is to say that Hime shouldn't get close to her friends, or lie to make them like her, she's ultimately proven right when they turn on Hime. Hime even admits that she "shouldn't have relied on lies," and seems less bothered by her "friends" abandoning her than she is about Mitsuki exposing her out of spite.

* JerkassHasAPoint:
** From Nene's perspective, Sumika comes off as needlessly hostile to Yoko, but Sumika is absolutely right that Yoko is manipulative and untrustworthy. [[spoiler:Nene ignores Sumika's advice not to involve herself with Yoko and only ends up suffering pain as a result.]]
** Sumika doesn't have much sympathy for Kanoko's unrequited crush on Hime, and her claim that Hime will hate Kanoko if Kanoko doesn't get over her jealousy of Mitsuki drives Kanoko to tears. However, she's right, since Kanoko avoiding Mitsuki causes friction between her and Hime. In fact, Hime had been rather upset to hear about Mitsuki's comparatively mild jealousy of Kanoko's closeness with Hime.
** While it's largely motivated by her firm stance on romance having no place in the work place and she eventually resorts to {{Blackmail}} for the sake of it, she's not wrong to [[ShippingTorpedo oppose Kanoko's feelings for Hime]]; not only is Kanoko's obsession extremely unhealthy, due to Hime effectively being a LivingEmotionalCrutch to Kanoko and a major cause for overreactions on her end, but the lengths she'll go to try and assert herself as Hime's OnlyFriend border on {{Yandere}}ish, such as wanting to abolish the schwestern system simply because she doesn't like seeing Hime and Mitsuki getting along, with no regard on how it affect Hime or the state of the cafe.

[[folder:Hime Shiraki (Shirasagi)]]

The protagonist of the series, an incredibly cute girl who makes full use of her charm to endear herself to others.

* NeverMyFault: She initially believes that Mitsuki was the only one who betrayed her and doesn't seem to realize how her lying had left Mitsuki unable to believe her.

* ObliviousToLove: She doesn't know Mitsuki and Kanoko are in love with her because they keep hiding their true feelings from her. [[spoiler:She becomes aware of Mitsuki's feelings when the latter kisses her.]]

[[folder:Mitsuki Yano (Ayanokouji)]]

[[folder:Mai Koshiba (Mikoshiba)]]

[[folder:Sumika Chibana (Tachibana)]]

[[folder:Kanoko Mamiya (Amamiya)]]

* ExtremeDoormat: Before she met Hime, Kanoko was a social recluse who hated being dragged into her classmates' activities, but she couldn't say no when they asked her to participate. After Hime lied to the classmates to save Kanoko from being punished for destroying their video's sign, Kanoko became dependent on Hime to stand up for her when other people make her uncomfortable.

* HypocriteHasAPoint: While her accusing Mitsuki of [[AllTakeAndNoGive never doing anything to repay Hime for her kindness]] is hypocritical given that the same can be said of her and Sumika, Mitsuki doesn't argue with that assertion or accuse her of hypocrisy.

* SatelliteCharacter: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. Kanoko's entire life is built around Hime, she obsessively clings on to her position as Hime's only true friend, and her single-minded goal is to be by Hime's side forever. This is recognized as not a good thing; Hime insists Kanoko needs to make more friends and Sumika also doesn't believe it's healthy for Kanoko to solely define herself as Hime's friend despite knowing Hime will never return her romantic feelings. As she realizes that she's no longer the person who is most "special" to Hime because of how strongly Hime feels about Mitsuki, her mental and emotional state suffer terribly.

[[folder:Yoko Gouto (Goeido) '''(Unmarked spoilers)''']]

* HeyYou: She rarely refers to Mitsuki by name when talking about her, evidently out of contempt, although she will occasionally [[LastNameBasis refer to her by her surname]].

-->[[spoiler:"So you ''really'' weren't special... All you ever do is cause her trouble... You confessed to her without even thinking about it... And now that she rejected you, you're running... Hime-chan helped you out... But you've have done nothing in return. You're the same as everyone else!!"]]

* UnknownRival: She sees Mitsuki as a threat to her place as Hime's only "special person", but Mitsuki is oblivious to her jealousy because she doesn't know that Kanoko is in love with Hime too.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In Volumes 1 and 2, Kanoko had a decent professional relationship with Mitsuki, and the two, while not friends, could work together without issue, a far cry from the pent-up jealous hostility Kanoko has toward Mitsuki for much of the series. It's justified in that in Volume 1, Hime didn't know who Mitsuki was, and for much of Volume 2, Hime and Mitsuki hated each other, so Mitsuki wasn't a threat to Kanoko's status as Hime's only special someone until the Blume election arc.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In the early series, she's relatively tolerant of Mitsuki, but as Mitsuki and Hime grow closer, Kanoko becomes more hostile to Mitsuki, jealous and emotionally unstable.

* CoolBigSis: She serves as this role to Kanoko after learning of her crush on Hime, [[spoiler:eventually becoming Kanoko's schwester]].

* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Sumika repeatedly insists that she is straight. Eventually these protests become more and more feeble until it just comes across as weak self-denial until eventually even she herself can no longer deny that she's not.

* IWantMyBelovedTOBeHappy: A variant when it comes to schwestership. [[spoiler:She was willing to accept the possibility that Yoko might be a better schwester to Saionji than Sumika had been, until Yoko cruelly abandoned Saionji]].

* ShippingTorpedo: Concerned about what implications Kanoko's unrequited love for Hime might have for the salon, especially considering that Kanoko is willing to go so far as to ask Sumika to abolish the schwester system to make Hime go back to her old self, Sumika tries to get Kanoko to give up on Hime. She eventually stops actively trying to discourage Kanoko's fixation on Hime, but still wishes Kanoko would get over Hime.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: She becomes the Taker in her relationship with Sumika. Kanoko needs Sumika to confide in her all her feelings of worry and jealousy over Hime and Mitsuki's relationship. Sumika is fine with being the Giver at first, but developing a crush on Kanoko causes her to become reluctant to keep giving unconditional support to Kanoko without getting anything in return. [[spoiler:Following Yoko's advice, Kanoko asks Sumika to become her girlfriend because she thinks that'll be enough for Sumika to become willing to hear her problems again, but she realizes she's still taking from Sumika and only giving her a lie of a relationship back.]]

* PetTheDog: In chapter 34, despite still hating that [[spoiler:Mitsuki confessed her love to Hime]], Kanoko asks Mitsuki to go back to being Hime's special friend and apologizes to hitting her before, since she can tell Hime would be even more hurt if [[spoiler:she keeps avoiding Mitsuki out of fear of hurting her when she rejects her]].

* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: She can't help but stare at Kanoko and Sumika in the bath, but she feels rather uncomfortable being around a naked Mitsuki.

* CovertPervert: She can't keep up her "sweet and innocent girl" facade in the public bath because she can't help to keep ogling at other girls' bodies.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: In the past, Kanoko was completely isolated and she deeply yearned for someone to give her love and attention. When Hime befriended her, Kanoko become dependent on Hime to make her feel loved, but she gave up on seeking a romantic relationship because Hime has no interest in having one. Deep down, all Kanoko wants is to feel she's special to Hime and she takes it very badly when she sees Hime might be developing feelings for Mitsuki, as she's terrified that she'll stop being special to Hime and Mitsuki will become the most important person to her.

* LovingAShadow: PlayedWith. Kanoko is one of the few people who know Hime's true personality behind her "perfect angel" facade, but she idolizes Hime and insists she never needs to change. She settled for being Hime's best friend instead of her girlfriend because Hime claimed she would never fall in love with anyone, so she freaks out when she sees Hime has been acting "weird" because of Mitsuki, not being able to accept the mere possibility that Hime ''can'' fall in love after all.

** Back in middle school, Kanoko claimed she hated all of her classmates for pretending to be "good kids" for appearances, but she was actually the one who acted like an ExtremeDoormat and did what her classmates asked her to be "good" when she really hated it.
** After she hears [[spoiler:Mitsuki]] confessed to Hime, Kanoko demands her to take back her confession and accept that Hime is ought to reject her because confessing to Hime makes her "just like everyone else" while Kanoko is the only one who is still special for choosing to not confess to Hime. [[spoiler:Turns out Kanoko ''did'' plan to confess to Hime once, but Hime dismissed her anonymous love letter and clearly stated she would reject the sender in a heartbeat. Kanoko then became afraid that Hime wouldn't think anything special of her anymore if she properly confessed, so she destroyed her own love letter and chose to pretend the whole thing never happened so Hime would keep treating her as special. However, she realizes Hime still cherishes and wants Yano even after rejecting her confession, which forces Kanoko to wonder if she really needed to take back her confession to stay close to Hime.]]

* SatelliteCharacter: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. Kanoko's entire life is built around Hime, she obsessively clings on to her position as Hime's only true friend, and her single-minded goal is to be by Hime's side forever. This is recognized as not a good thing; Hime insists Kanoko needs to make more friends and Sumika also doesn't believe it's healthy for Kanoko to solely define herself as Hime's friend despite knowing Hime will never return her romantic feelings.

* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: Kanoko is in love with Hime, but she believes a romantic relationship with Hime is impossible because Hime's dream is marrying into money. Kanoko still refuses to give up her feelings for Hime and swore to never fall in love with anyone else, even planning to become Hime's maid and forever stay by her side platonically after Hime gets married to a rich man.

* OperationJealousy: In the past, [[spoiler:she used to hook up with Yoko, but the girl she really liked was Sumika. Since Sumika didn't seem interested in her, Nene tried to make her jealous by flirting with Yoko in front of her, even ending her schwestern partnership with Sumika to start one with Yoko. However, it didn't work out like she wanted because Sumika did nothing to interfere with their relationship and Yoko ended up dumping her when she quit the salon.]]

** Sometime later, Hime offers to hang out with her classmates, but instead ditches them to spend time with Mitsuki. While in the room with Mitsuki, Hime then calls her classmates to let them know that has to look after the house, then tells Mitsuki that she lied to her classmates earlier.

* AboveTheInfluence: [[spoiler:In chapter 60, a distressed Kanoko tries to offer Sumika to have sex with her to make up for lying to her and letting Yoko manipulate her. Sumika turns down the offer because she would never have sex with Kanoko when she's only trying to do it because she feels guilty and Yoko told her that's what Sumika wanted.]]

* ProperlyParanoid: Sumika almost immediately becomes suspicious of Yoko, and is disturbed to realize that [[spoiler:she visited the salon and asked for Nene]]. Sumika is obviously biased against Yoko due to her dislike o her, but she's completely right that Yoko is a dangerous ManipulativeBitch.

* DoggedNiceGirl: Subverted. Kanoko acts as Hime's devoted friend because of her secret crush on her, but she doesn't expect Hime to ever return her romantic affections because Hime has no interest in romance. Instead, Kanoko intends to spend her entire life hiding her true feelings from Hime and watch her get married to a rich man, since she claims to not care Hime marries someone else as long as she doesn't really love them.

* {{Hypocrite}}: When Sumika tries {{Blackmail}}ing her into dropping her romantic feelings for Hime, Kanoko is quick to accuse her of being someone who interferes before storming off. This is despite their argument kickstarting because of her attempts of interfering with Hime and Mitsuki's relationship and reconciliation out of envy.

* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Kanoko's Betty. Mitsuki is the {{Tsundere}} who is beautiful and alluring in a more sexual way. Funnily enough, Mitsuki is also Hime's childhood friend, which is usually a Betty trait.

* ComingOfAgeQueerRomance: A younger example than most, at least as far as realizing she's gay. When she was a young child, she always dreamed about finding her prince, only to realize after hanging out with Hime that what she really wanted was a princ''ess'', making Hime her ClosetKey. While they have not ended up in a relationship yet, it's definitely heading in that direction after they meet again in high school and [[spoiler:she gives Hime a LoveConfession]]..

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She doesn't notice the effect that her breast size has in other people, so she initially doesn't understand why it's a problem that her summer uniform is too tight for her chest and the salon's customers keep staring at it. She also casually undresses in front of Hime several times and stays oblivious to why Hime gets so flustered about it.

* OneeSama: She fulfills this role at the salon, playing the part of a kind and graceful senpai.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: She becomes the Taker in her relationship with Sumika. Kanoko needs Sumika to confide in her all her feelings of worry and jealousy over Hime and Mitsuki's relationship. Sumika is fine with being the Giver at first, but developing a crush on Kanoko causes her to become reluctant to keep giving unconditional support to Kanoko without getting anything in return. [[spoiler:Following Yoko's advice, Kanoko asks Sumika to become her girlfriend because she thinks that'll be enough for Sumika to become willing to hear her problems again, but she realizes she's still taking from Sumika while rejecting her advances.]]

* {{Doublethink}}: After Hime tells her that [[spoiler:Mitsuki]] kissed her and she doesn't look bothered by it, Kanoko tries to convince herself that physical intimacy means nothing. Despite what she tells herself, Kanoko can't hide her fear and abhorrence when [[spoiler:Yoko]] threatens to force herself on her, which leads [[spoiler:Yoko]] to point out that Kanoko ''does'' understand the importance of kissing and sex in love, but she desperately keeps trying to deny it because otherwise she'll be forced to admit that Hime didn't mind being kissed because [[spoiler:she has romantic feelings for Mitsuki]].

* FakeRelationship: In Chapter 51, [[spoiler:she asks Sumika out, apparently having been influenced by a third party whom she later contacts by phone. The third party's motives are unclear, but while Kanoko wants Sumika to get over her opposition to romance, she has not yet revealed why she chose to go along with it.]]

** In Chapter 58, Yoko breaks Kanoko by pointing out that she refuses to admit that kissing and sex are important parts of love because doing so would mean having to face Hime is already in a romance with Mitsuki.

* PseudoRomanticFriendship: Is trying to channel her feelings of love towards [[spoiler:Kanoko]] into this form, and says this is what their relationship is, though it's obvious that she's lying to herself and everyone else. She describes it thusly:
-->For me... it's like if you took the romance out of a romantic relationship. You share everything that romantic lovers do except the actual romantic love. In my case, we act in accordance with one another's desires. I'm lucky to have a sistership like that.

* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She's incredibly shy and, as revealed in the color spread, has blue hair.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has long hair in the flashbacks to the time the salon was started, but short hair in the present day. It's possible that she cut her hair short in order to work in the kitchen [[spoiler:or as an ImportantHaircut after her breakup with Yoko]].

* ImagineSpot: She has a fantasy of Kanoko confessing her love to her and taking off her clothes, which she feels uncomfortable about.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Hime is normally very careful about not doing anything that might upset others, but due to her [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness to Kanoko's crush on her]], Hime doesn't get that talking about Mitsuki [[spoiler:and the kiss the latter gave her]] during their time alone is a torture to Kanoko.

* ObliviousToLove: She doesn't notice that Mitsuki and Kanoko are in love with her, even though they aren't subtle about their feelings. [[spoiler:Mitsuki has to kiss her for her to finally figure out her feelings.]]

* RightForTheWrongReasons: In chapter 50, Hime correctly deduces Kanoko has been lying about feeling sick to avoid hanging out with Mitsuki. However, Hime misinterprets Kanoko's dislike for Mitsuki as homophobia when the thing that really bothers Kanoko is that Hime is still getting along with Mitsuki [[spoiler:despite the fact that Mitsuki is in love with her and even kissed her]], since she's terribly afraid that Hime might be changing because of [[spoiler:Mitsuki's confession]].

* MutualEnvy: Kanoko is very jealous of Mitsuki for being Hime's schwester at the salon and the way she can influence change in Hime without realizing it. Meanwhile, Mitsuki is jealous of Kanoko because she thinks Hime is more open with her and relies on her for support.

** After she hears [[spoiler:Mitsuki]] confessed to Hime, Kanoko demands her to take back her confession and accept that Hime is ought to reject her because confessing to Hime makes her "just like everyone else" while Kanoko is the only one who is still special for choosing to not confess to Hime. [[spoiler:Turns out Kanoko ''did'' plan to confess to Hime once, but Hime dismissed her anonymous love letter and clearly stated she would reject the sender in a heartbeat. Kanoko then became afraid that Hime wouldn't think anything special of her anymore if she properly confessed, so she destroyed her own love letter and chose to pretend the whole thing never happen so Hime would keep treating her as special. However, she realizes Hime still cherishes and wants Yano even after rejecting her confession, which forces Kanoko to wonder if she really needed to take back her confession to stay close to Hime.]]

* JustFriends: Hime thinks of Mitsuki and Kanoko as her only true friends to whom she can show her true self, but she's oblivious to the fact that both of them have romantic feelings for her. Kanoko gave up on pursuing a romantic relationship with Hime long ago because she fears being rejected, but Mitsuki doesn't eventually admit her love for Hime [[spoiler:and even kisses her. Hime spends a while distressed because her rejecting Mitsuki is painful for both of them, but both Hime and Mitsuki decide to stay close friends and schwestern at the salon.]]

* MutualEnvy: Kanoko is very jealous of Mitsuki for being Hime's schwestern partner at the salon and the way she can influence change in Hime without realizing it. Meanwhile, Mitsuki is jealous of Kanoko because she thinks Hime is more open with her and relies on her for support.

* UnknowinglyInLove: She thinks she thinks Kanoko is cute, worries about her and wants to see her smile at her and not only at Hime. She tries to convince herself that her affection for Kanoko is just sisterly love because she's her Schwester, but Nene makes her start to realize that what she actually feels is romantic love.

* BitchSlap: She slaps Mitsuki when the latter reveals [[spoiler:she confessed to Hime and]] Hime gave her a match accessory like the one she gave Kanoko, as Kanoko can't stand to hear now she isn't the only one with the status of Hime's "special friend".

* ShowerOfAngst: In chapter 59, Kanoko takes a very depressing bath after [[spoiler:Yoko nearly forces herself on her]].

* {{Dismotivation}}: Kanoko is very secure in her status as Hime's close friend and in the idea that Hime won't truly fall in love with anyone else, so when Hime gets increasingly close to Mitsuki and as a result starts undergoing CharacterDevelopment, she becomes deadset on driving a wedge between them, such as trying to abolish the schwestern system by supporting Sumika in becoming blume, reasoning that it'll make Hime "go back to normal".

* ShowerOfAngst: She takes a very depressing bath after [[spoiler:Yoko sexually assaults her]].

* SubordinateExcuse: As mentioned in Meido, she wants to serve as Hime's maid after she marries into money so they can stay close, since Kanoko knows Hime won't fall for anyone else.

* BlackBraAndPanties: She's seen wearing black lingerie during her sexual assault of Kanoko.

** In Chapter 58, in the middle of her sexual assault of Kanoko, Yoko breaks her by pointing out that she refuses to admit that kissing and sex are important parts of love because doing so would mean having to face Hime is already in a romance with Mitsuki.
