Ayumu Hoshino
Ayumu Hoshino is the main character, Kazuma Hoshino's little brother.
At the very start, Kazuma and his little brother Ayumu move to the Yamabiko countryside. This is because Ayumu gets ill easily, and their parents sent them to Yamabiko to see if the countryside would do Ayumu any good. If it did, they would join their sons later.
While waiting at a bus stop, a monkey steals Ayumu's hat, so Kazuma runs after it into the forest. However, he ends up lost and eventually runs into Ui Natkasugawa, who shows him how to get back to the bus stop. When it comes to crossing the river, Kazuma slips and falls into Ui, and accidentally kisses her. Ui's close friend Ibuki Hinata saw this, and is always yelling at Kazuma for some reason or another.
After arriving at the Yorozuyo Inn, the place they'll be staying, Ayumu and Kazuma meet Tsumusi Toudou, who works part-time at the inn. Tsumugi is Kazuma's guide for school as well, and her little sister Kasane looks after Ayumu.
Personality[]
Ayumu is a slightly shy character, easily flustered. He's quite artistic and is in the art club at his junior high school. Ayumu and his older brother Kazuma were moved to the countryside by their parents to see if it would do Ayumu, who gets ill very easily, any good. If the plan was successful, the Hoshino parents would join them after a few months.
Ayumu's condition does get better, and his confidence grows as well.
