Akari's the red-haired girl who's technically supposed to be the main character, but honestly? Fans joke that she gets overshadowed constantly. Her personality's pretty straightforward, which probably doesn't help—she tends to fade into the background even when she's on screen. Her most distinctive feature is her hair dumplings, though they have a weird way of looking off-model that's become kind of iconic at this point.
There's this whole running gag in the fandom about her being able to shoot her hair dumplings as weapons and turn invisible while screaming "Akkari~n!" (she doesn't actually do this, but the joke stuck). Kyōko and Yui have been her childhood friends forever, while Chinatsu, Sakurako, and Himawari are in her class.
