Personality

Akira is friendly and genial. She is one of Komaki Asako's friends, attending the same school as her and Oriko. She seems attached to Komaki after the latter saved her and Miyuki Nagatsuki from a fire. The two often have to stop Komaki from starting fights with other students.

Story

Backstory

Akira was saved by Komaki in a fire during a school camp.

Akira in Sadness Prayer

Akira begins investigating Komaki's supposed nightlife after being informed by Koito. As her parents are overseas at the time, this gives her free reign to investigate Komaki.

She tracks Komaki with her phone and finds her fighting with Kirika one night. After accidentally calling Koito instead of the police, Akira ditches the phone and runs out to Komaki after one of Kirika's attacks wounds her. Akira, however, gets in the way of another of Kirika's attacks and is cut in half, with her top half landing in Komaki's arms.

Trivia

• Akira "晶" means "crystal".
