Yashunobu, Yamato's 'friend' from childhood suddenly shows up one day in Yamato's room. His past is revealed to be a perverted child.

It is the day of the fitness tests, and while Yamato was a legend in his hometown schools, he is failing miserably in his new school. Later, he realizes that this school specializes in sports.

When Yamato finds Suzuka talking to Miyamoto, a person on the track team, he gets curious, but when he hears them talking about doing something together, he gets jealous.

When a weird newspaper girl appears in front of Yamato’s room, offering two tickets to the amusement park with a subscription to the newspaper, Yamato thinks that the free day they have coming up is the best time to ask Suzuka out.

When all hope is lost, Suzuka “humbly” asks him out, using tickets that she got from the same newspaper girl. Using such a perfect chance, will Yamato confess his feelings? | |||

Yamato decides that he definitely likes Suzuka, and will not give up after being rejected once. He decides to join the track team, and seeks Yasunobu’s advice. Unfortunately, Suzuka overhears their conversation, and does not think that Yamato will try hard in track, and will slow them down instead. After she leaves, Yasunobu suggests that he apologize, and that Yamato was a slacker his whole life, so being in the track team was not plausible. When Yamato goes into the track office to apologize, he ends up signing up for the track team. | |||

After two weeks of training, Yamato becomes accustomed to the practices, and officially beats Kenji, the scholarship student, in a time trial, running 100 meters in 10.98 seconds.

Later on, he finds out that Suzuka is going home to visit a Kazuki Tsuda, which troubles him for a while. When he finds a photo of Suzuka and another guy in Suzuka’s room, he runs after her without second thought. | |||

He ends up revealing himself from his hiding place, and making himself enemies with Arima Emerson, the current fastest runner in the 100 meter.

When Yamato hears a knock on his door, he opens it to find the newspaper girl again, only this time, she’s working for a TV company and offers him her “last” two tickets to the pool. Yamato, realizing she’s using the same trick as last time, tells her that she most likely has more. She ends up giving him the two tickets for free, and tells him to ask out his girl. The next day at school, Honoka asks Yamato to the pool; evidently, she also got tickets from the TV girl. However, she fails horribly at asking in secret, and Miki hears and asks almost everyone else, including Suzuka, to the pool. Yamato, excited, believes this is a chance to get close to her. Meanwhile, Honoka is trying to get closer to Yamato using the same method. | |||

The Inter High competition arrives, and is being hosted at Hiroshima, Yamato's hometown. Suzuka is there to compete, while Yamato is only a cheerleader. Yamato is depressed by his failures with Suzuka and the track team. Yasunobu encourages Honoka to confess to Yamato, or else Suzuka will steal Yamato. Honoka comforts Yamato after practice. However, Miki has told Suzuka to do the same thing, so while Honoka is with Yamato, Suzuka shows up. Honoka panics and kisses Yamato, then walks away embarrassed. The next day, Suzuka gets third place in the tournament and lots of attention, which depresses Yamato even more. Honoka finds Yamato sulking alone and tries to kiss him again.

Yamato asks Honoka to become a couple. The next day, Suzuka asks Yamato to go shopping, but he declines. When Suzuka tries to pick a t-shirt for Yamato, Miki tells her he is dating Honoka. Suzuka is visibly disturbed by this, but says nothing. After dinner, Honoka and Yamato sit together. Honoka confesses her longtime love for him. Miki talks to Yasunobu about Yamato. She thinks his behavior is irresponsible towards Suzuka, but Yasunobu thinks it is good for Honoka. Suzuka talks to Yamato after practice. He confirms that he is dating Honoka. She congratulates him and acts normal, but stays up late thinking about it. The next day, she avoids Yamato, while he has dinner with Honoka and friends from the team. On the train back from Hiroshima, Yamato steps out to buy drinks, but trips right before making back to the train. Suzuka goes to help him, but they both get abandoned by the train. | |||
15 | 'Bellflower' Transcription: 'Hotaru-bukuro' (Japanese: 蛍袋) | October 13, 2005[16] | |
While they sit stranded in Hiroshima, Suzuka asks Yamato about his relationship with Honoka. Yamato responds happily until Suzuka gets angry and stops him. When Yamato's father comes to pick them up, he refuses to let Suzuka stay by herself at a hotel, bringing her home with them. Suzuka meets Yamato's family. Wanting to impress Suzuka, Yamato asks her to stay another night and see the fireflies. She declines, and when Yamato gets upset at her coldness, she says he is incomprehensible, and being nice to the wrong person. After hearing Yamato on the phone with Honoka, Suzuka changes her mind, and decides to see the fireflies. When they arrive at the bridge, there are no fireflies in sight. Yamato reveals he went there to confess to someone before, with the same result. After being laughed at by Suzuka, he says he is prouder of the confession he made to her. She urges him to show his planned confession. He finds a firefly and puts it into a bellflower, causing the bellflower to glow. Suzuka is touched and accepts his confession. When he reacts seriously to this, she says she was only joking. | |||
16 | 'Impulse' Transcription: 'Shōdō' (Japanese: 衝動) | October 20, 2005[17] | |
When they get back, Suzuka takes her leave after Honoka approaches them. Honoka, apparently, was very “worried” about Yamato, but when he tells her he likes her for the first time, she is completely confident. Later on, Yasunobu reveals that he knows about Yamato and Honoka, and states that he should bring the relationship to the next level, causing Yamato to stutter and decline. When Honoka goes over to Yamato’s home to cook for him, he suddenly starts thinking about Suzuka. To convince himself that he likes Honoka, he lets his impulse drive him, causing Honoka to run away scared. | |||

After practice, Suzuka wants to share an umbrella with Yamato, but since Miki is there, she ends up lending one to him instead. The next day, Honoka introduces him to Shirakawa Nana, a pop idol who was her mentor. At karaoke, when Honoka goes to the bathroom to hide her embarrassment, Suzuka finds Yamato singing with a blond woman, and accuses Yamato of two timing Honoka. This is later cleared when Honoka and Miki arrive. Yamato doesn't want to sing, until Suzuka challenges him. They start to sing a duet, but Honoka looks nervous so he stops, to show loyalty to Honoka. Nana probes him afterwards and realizes that Yamato is not really being himself around Honoka, that he is just acting like a good boyfriend without really getting close to her. Yamato vows to try harder to be a good boyfriend. | |||
18 | 'Present'(Gift) Transcription: 'Okurimono' (Japanese: 贈物) | November 3, 2005[19] | |
For Honoka’s birthday, Yamato wants to surprise her and buy a very meaningful gift. To achieve this, he asks the residents of the inn to help him choose, but they all give really bad advice, and he ends up resorting to a magazine. Eventually, he asks Suzuka to help him choose, and she agrees. After wandering for so long, Yamato buys a necklace from a street vendor, using Suzuka as a modeling dummy. On the way back, Honoka spots Yamato with Suzuka. When Yamato presents the gift to Honoka later on, Yamato tells her that he actually went with Suzuka, and not Yasunobu, only to find that Honoka already knew. Because of her calm attitude, he takes this as a good sign, and goes into detail about how he bought it with Suzuka, and ends up getting his gift given back to him. | |||
19 | 'Breakup' Transcription: 'Wakare' (Japanese: 別離) | November 10, 2005[20] | |
Yamato consults Yasunobu, blaming him for part of it. When he returns home, Suzuka apologizes, and blames herself for this. Yamato then sees that it really is his own fault, and goes to apologize to Honoka. At Honoka’s house, Yamato attempts to give the present again, only to end up in an argument with Honoka about their relationship. Honoka suggests breaking up, and Yamato agrees. In the end, Honoka asks if she can still have the present, and gives him a goodbye kiss. Later on, his grieving-silently-in-own-room is interrupted in the forms of Yuuka and a drunk Megumi, who attempt to counsel him. When Suzuka approaches him later, he lies and tells her that he forcibly dumped Honoka (due to the fact that Honoka believed Yamato still liked Suzuka), causing Suzuka to hate him. | |||
20 | 'Support'(Cheering) Transcription: 'Ōen' (Japanese: 応援) | November 17, 2005[21] | |
After the breakup, Miki and Yasunobu attempt to cheer up Yamato, while Nana cheers up Honoka. Honoka eventually comes back as manager, and reveals just how much the track needs her. Miki, however, hears Suzuka’s version of the breakup, and confronts Yamato, forcing the truth out of him. Miki, having pity on him, forces him to go eat okonomiyaki with her. After this “sour” and “seaweedy” experience, Yamato realizes that Miki was just cheering him up, and resolves to stay on track to meet everyone’s expectations. | |||
21 | 'Regret' Transcription: 'Kōkai' (Japanese: 後悔) | November 24, 2005[22] | |
Although Yamato resolves to stay on track, he just can't seem to be able to catch the baton, repeatedly dropping it. To help Yamato, Miki decides to take matters into her own hands and train Yamato. After many hours of practice, Yamato still fails to receive the baton properly, due to Suzuka occupying his thoughts the moment of reception. Eventually, Yamato reveals that his poor performance is due to his regret of lying to Suzuka. Miki offers to talk to Suzuka about it, but Yamato declines the offer, stating that he should stop making excuses and talk to her himself. Yamato tells the truth to Suzuka and reveals how valuable her friendship is to him. Suzuka later calls him to say she is not angry anymore and encourages him to work hard at the track. | |||
22 | 'Preparation'(Determination) Transcription: 'Kakugo' (Japanese: 覚悟) | December 1, 2005[23] | |
Before the race, Yamato receives counseling from Yasunobu, revealing that he still likes Suzuka. The appearance of Miyamoto and his recount of Kazuki then reveals to Yasunobu what Yamato keeps worrying about. Somehow, though, Yasunobu's words sparks something in Yamato, and he then resolves to becoming first. After his first spectacular performance, he is met by disappointment by his teammates, because the first race was unimportant, he was just wasting energy. When he finishes second in the entire meet, Suzuka approaches to congratulate him, but he reveals to her that he wants first. | |||
23 | 'Encouragement' Transcription: 'Gekirei' (Japanese: 激励) | December 8, 2005[24] | |
Yamato works hard at track. Miyamoto and Yamato develop a plan to beat Arima. When Miki wonders what has gotten into Yamato lately, he replies that he has a goal now. Miki guesses it is because of Suzuka. Sakurai later calls Nana for advice about Yamato and what to do. Sakurai tells her that she thinks that Yamato and Suzuka like each other and that there is no place for her anymore. Nana comforts her, telling her to find someone else. Suzuka is increasingly bothered by Yamato's seriousness at track, and acts cold to him. Yamato confronts Suzuka about this, and she apologizes. | |||
24 | 'Disappearance' Transcription: 'Shissō' (Japanese: 失踪) | December 15, 2005[25] | |
At the meet, Yamato is very pumped about the race Miyamoto and the captain, however, are worried about how he’ll do - Miyamoto notes that Yamato hasn’t bested his record from the earlier track meet. During the race, Yamato gets a good start, but Arima quickly passes him. Arima ends up winning, and Yamato places a disappointing fourth place. Later, Suzuka visits Yamato, bringing him some eggs to eat. Yamato realizes that Suzuka is probably trying to cheer him up. Just as she is about to leave, Yamato confesses to her again. He says that she doesn’t have to answer him yet, that he will practice more, so that he can win the next tournament. Reminded of what Kazuki told her back then, Suzuka runs out on him, telling him to stop. | |||
25 | 'Loss'(Forfeit) Transcription: 'Sōshitsu' (Japanese: 喪失) | December 22, 2005[26] | |
While Suzuka is sitting in front of the shrine, it is revealed to us exactly how Kazuki dies. Eventually, Honoka finds her in front of her shrine, and sits down to talk to her. Honoka ends up yelling at Suzuka, because Suzuka refuses to accept Yamato, afraid to get in a relationship. Suzuka tells her that she doesn't know how it feels to lose a loved one, which Honoka counters by telling her that she doesn't know how it feels to have your loved one stolen from you. Eventually, Suzuka runs away, and Yamato comes to the shrine. Honoka, feeling defeated, tells Yamato where Suzuka is. When Yamato gets there, he argues with Suzuka a bit more, eventually forcing a kiss on her. Afterwards she slapped him several times. | |||
26 | 'Cool Wind'(Cool Breeze) Transcription: 'Suzuka' (Japanese: 涼風) | December 29, 2005[27] | |
After Suzuka gets home, she ponders her conflicted feelings and stares at her photo of Kazuki. The next day, Miki, seeing how hard Yamato is trying, tries to convince Suzuka to face Yamato, telling her of his feelings. The next day, Honoka persuades Suzuka to walk home with her. She convinces Suzuka to talk to Yamato, telling her to not keep him waiting. When Yamato learns from Miho that Suzuka is going back home to visit a grave, he rushes upstairs to tell Suzuka to stop visiting Kazuki’s grave. To his surprise, she asks him to come along. There, Suzuka confesses her feelings for Yamato in front of Kazuki's grave. Their 'new relationship' begins with them walking to school together. |

Main characters[edit]
Suzuka Asahina[edit]
- Suzuka Asahina (朝比奈 涼風Asahina Suzuka)
- Voiced by: Kanako Mitsuhashi (Japanese); Leah Clark (English)
- The titularheroine of the series, she is a talented female high jumper from Yokohama that was scouted by many famous high schools because of her skill. While in Tokyo, she lives in Ayano’s dormitory, next door to Yamato. She is a serious athlete that puts a lot of pressure on herself to perform so she does not disappoint others. At first, she has a very cold attitude toward Yamato, but according to her sister, Suzuka only shows her arrogant and somewhat moody attitude to someone she likes,[1] thus showing the characteristics of a tsundere. Because of her past with Kazuki, she was reluctant to express her feelings toward Yamato and ended up trying to push him away for a very long time. Her reaction in the manga and anime was to slap him repeatedly the first time he kissed her. Later in the manga, after they had gone out a short while, he tried to kiss her again and was met with another slap. Then, after a misunderstanding, Suzuka threatened to slap him again, and when he closed his eyes she kissed him, followed up with yet another slap to the face. After a while, she finally admits to herself and to Yamato that she has liked him since the first time they met, and they begin dating.
- Their relationship was rocky from the start because of Yamato’s carelessness and Suzuka's guarded attitude to her thoughts and feelings. She decides to take the offer to study abroad from Sasoka, claiming the training standards are higher and she will benefit more, but it was really because Yamato complimented her on how cool she looked during her high-jump. After the time-skip, Suzuka moved back into her room next door to Yamato. She, like Yamato, was recommended to Seijo University, which she plans on attending. After Yamato told her he wanted to rekindle their relationship, she was against the idea because she was afraid that if they date again, they will begin to hate each other and drift apart. When Yamato shows his devotion to her, they get back together. Things once again became unsettled after Yamato tries to further their relationship to a physical one. She reacted by slapping him when he groped her. After he apologized, she stated that she was simply nervous of the idea, but that if he wanted to, she would take that step forward. After being caught on their secret trip by her father, she is forced to move back home. Meanwhile she feels ill. After Yamato works out the problems with his father, he convinces her to go get the illness checked out. When she comes out, she reveals that the illness was actually morning sickness, as she is three months pregnant. She initially decides to have an abortion because she doesn't want to disappoint their families and friends. However, after much discussion with Yamato, they both decided to keep the baby and get married, and decided to drop out of the university. Even though Yamato has to get employed to support his new family, Suzuka wants him to get a job in a company which has a track team. Their child was revealed to be a girl named Fūka.
- In the manga sequel, Fuuka, Suzuka's full name is now 'Suzuka Akitsuki' after marrying Yamato. While Suzuka is a loving wife and mother, she and Yamato still fight, often over their children. While Yamato tried to get Fuuka to follow in their footsteps as a track and field athlete, Suzuka disagreed and wanted their daughter to be whatever she chose to be. Suzuka and Yamato have a second daughter named Haruka (春花, 'spring, flower'; name revealed in Fuuka chapter 74), but their first child, Fuuka, dies in a car accident at age 15.
- The given name for Suzuka is derived from the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer Sukukaze. In Chapter 174 of A Town Where You Live, she is seen with Akari, Kiyomi and Nanami in a bath. She and Fūka make a brief appearance at Fantasy Land in Chapter 126, on board a train in Chapter 257, and in both the OVA's. In Chapter 81 of A Town Where You Live, Suzuka is revealed (indirectly) to be 21 years old.
Yamato Akitsuki[edit]
- Yamato Akitsuki (秋月 大和Akitsuki Yamato)
- Voiced by: Daisuke Nakamura (Japanese); Todd Haberkorn (English)
- The main protagonist of the series. He moved from his home in rural Hiroshima to his aunt’s dormitory in Tokyo to change himself. While checking out his new high school, he sees a beautiful high jumper practicing and falls in love at first sight. By chance she happens to be his next door neighbor, Suzuka Asahina. Yamato is clumsy and has a carefree attitude, which often gets him into comprising situations. He has an almost spineless attitude when it comes to defending his position on a subject when confronted and his need to apologize constantly when he thinks he did something wrong makes him a generally weak willed character. When the need arises, he can become focused and determined. He is exceedingly clueless when it comes to girls and their feelings except for the fact the Suzuka is not your typical girl and would be hard for anyone to read. Although not the best in academics, he discovered a natural gift as a sprinter, and joined the track and field team. During his senior year of high school, he became a well-liked and respected track captain. Even though he did not achieve his goal of becoming first nationally during high school in the 100 meters, he was scouted and recommended to attend two universities, either Tohto University or Seijo University.
- After being released from his promise with Saki and realizing that he was still in love with Suzuka, he decided to try for acceptance to Seijo University. When he confessed to Suzuka that he wanted to restart their relationship, she stated that she did not because of the fear of getting hurt. Through patience, understanding, and persistence, they made up. During Seijo University's track tryouts, Yamato performed poorly at the start of his race, but showed enough potential at the end for the Selection Committee to unanimously choose him for the scholarship. Pressured by Yasunobu, Yamato decided to take his relationship to the next level. Suzuka initially was against it, but Yamato sets her at ease and they take a step forward in the relationship. Three months later, he learns that Suzuka is pregnant. He is troubled by the decision of her having an abortion and going to the University or keeping the baby and skipping school to work. He admitted to Suzuka that he wants her to keep the baby. After much discussion between the two they both decided to keep the baby and get married, and decided to drop out of the university. It was revealed that they had a daughter named Fūka (風夏, 'windy summer' or alternately, 'summer wind').
- In the manga sequel, Fuuka, it is revealed that Yamato fulfilled his dreams and became a 100 Meter Olympic athlete champion, and won the silver medal in the world championships against Emerson. He and Suzuka had a second daughter named Haruka (春花, 'spring, flower'; name revealed in Fuuka chapter 74), who was born on the day he won the silver medal. While he is a loving husband and father, he and Suzuka still fight, often over their children. However, his first daughter, Fuuka, dies in a car accident at age 15.
- The character name is derived from the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer Akizuki and battleship Yamato.

He is a ladies' man that, according to Yamato, prefers perverted stuff over eating.[2] He dreams of dating all the girls in the world and the legalization of polygyny in Japan. Yasunobu is often giving relationship advice to Yamato, with rather amusing results, due to the latter's being clueless and tendency to screw up. Even though he sometimes gets Yamato in bad situations, he usually has Yamato’s best interests in mind. Much to Yamato and Miki's surprise, Yasunobu has been a straight 'A' student during high school.

However, once she realized that Suzuka's distant nature resulted from her perfectionist tendencies and dedication to her sport, Miki came to respect Suzuka and they became friends. Although initially attracted to Yamato Akitsuki, upon realizing he was infatuated with her best friend Suzuka, she immediately puts a hold on her own feelings.[3] Miki is extremely loyal to her friends and will do anything to help them.

He also seems to be one of the few people she can be vulnerable with. In fact, Yamato is the only one that she has told about her one sided love for Sasaoka, who she has liked since high school. She had confessed to him fifteen times, but Sasaoka took it as a joke because she never seriously followed through. These rejections had a profound impact on her life, driving her to change her appearance and her dating behavior. Before Sasaoka left for the United States, Yamato took her to the airport so she could finally convince him of her feelings. Even though she finally got through to him, he revealed he is already engaged to be married next year.

Like Suzuka, he took up the offer to study abroad in United States, during which he stayed informed about Yamato's running times back in Japan. Afterward, he decided to go Tōto University and run for their track team. He indirectly helped Yamato realize that Suzuka and their unborn child was more important to him than track which led to Yamato's decision to not attend University and become employed to support his family. Near the end of the series, he still expresses hopes that he will have a chance to compete with Yamato in the Olympics. He went on to represent Japan in the 100m sprint.
