Anime
Ai lives with her father at Kashinoki Books, and attends Fujimizaka Middle School. She is the target of Haru Shinkai's crush. On October 1, she is one of the people watching Yuujin Oozora play soccer after school and comments on such to Haru. This meeting distracts Haru enough to take a soccer ball to the face, after which both Haru and Yuujin leave. Her friends seem surprised by the fact that Haru and Yuujin are close. Later that day, posts an embarrassing photo of one of her bad haircuts, which causes Yuujin to calm her down. Watching his crush get comforted by his close friend only compounds Haru's shame at his own photos being posted, prompting him to flee. On October 8, Ai is a victim of messing around with navigation apps, but Yuujin finds her and escorts her home. On October 15, she serves her friends refreshments while they patronize Kashinoki Books. On October 31, Ai takes photos of Haru's friends to send to him.
