She's always lived peacefully in her small village on the countryside, skipping classes to look for the shooting star she once saw while it was still daytime and that helped her get home after being lost as a kid. However, after the sudden transfer of her father to Bangladesh and the decision of her mother to go with him, Suzume has to move to Tokyo to live with her uncle. In her new life, she'll have to deal with friends, exams and newfound feelings...

39	* ButNotTooForeign: Tsurutani is a quarter Spanish, which explains her unusual curly hair.
40	* CannotSpitItOut: Shishio cannot come clean about how he feels and opts to defend himself with asking hypothetical questions first to test the waters, mostly because he is afraid of being hurt. [[spoiler:In addition, he's in a situation where it would be difficult to date Suzume while keeping his job at the same time, so to protect both of them, he never tells her upfront that he loves her.]] Yuyuka is also to this degree about her feelings for Mamura, and both Suzume and Togyuu have said that she's not honest about what she feels numerous times.

69	* HeManWomanHater: Mamura dislikes women, his reasons being "90% because they're annoying, 10% because I don't understand them". Later we learn that since his parents divorced he barely sees his mother, so he doesn't know women very well. [[{{CharacterDevelopment}} Although, through the manga he's starting to realize his rude behavior towards girls, and slowly tries to change for the better, specifically, stating in chapter 42, that "it was never his intention to hurt girls.
