Suminoe Marilyn

Azusa’s childhood friend. Mari – or ‘Marilyn’ - has stood by Azusa’s side through thick and thin. Mari routinely waking Azusa up in the mornings, reminds her about impending deadlines, and helps Azusa study in the university library.

Despite everything Mari does for Azusa, Azusa regards her as a bit of a nag, and wishes she would just lighten up a little.

Mari's father is obsessed with Western culture, and named her after the actress Marilyn Monroe.
