Featured Character
Suguha Kirigaya (桐ヶ谷直葉, Kirigaya Suguha), also known as Leafa (リーファ, Rīfa), is the sister as well as bully of Kazuto Kirigaya. She is a very aggressively sporty and a very sarcastic person, possibly more than even Kazuto. She is depicted as outright cruel, possibly doesn't even realize it, as she views Kazuto as nothing more than a punching bag, and would often go on sarcastic remarks about his sex life, to the point of ridiculing him for having an "online wife" while downplaying it as him groping a comatose patient. She doesn't even show gratitude when Kazuto goes out of his way to lend her a juice while she was choking on a muffin, and immediately starts mocking him as soon as she catches her breath.
