Azusa Nakano
The serious underclassman guitarist who joins the Light Music Club and struggles to keep her seniors focused while being constantly pampered and nicknamed Azu-nyan.
Story
Azusa Nakano is a student at Sakuragaoka High School who joins the Light Music Club after being moved by their performance during the freshman orientation. Unlike the other members, she has been playing the guitar since the fourth grade because her parents are jazz musicians, making her technically proficient and disciplined. Initially, she is shocked by the club's habit of drinking tea and eating snacks instead of practicing, often acting as the voice of reason. Despite her strict exterior, she is soft-hearted and easily swayed by the kindness and skinship of her seniors, particularly Yui Hirasawa. She eventually embraces the club's relaxed atmosphere, forming an inseparable bond with the group as their beloved junior member.
