Who is that?

She was the girl who Yuu briefly dated in episode 1. They got together when Yuu saved her from a traffic accident (which he himself had deliberately caused) and she later dumped him when he had to move to Hoshinoumi Academy and wasn't able to meet up with her anymore.

As for her significance, I doubt she has any beyond being a plot device to show how sneaky, two-faced and underhanded Yuu was at that time, and later bringing him down a peg or two by dumping him.

Spoiler for users who've not watched EPISODE 7 yet:

Will Yu ever go back and apoligize for what he did in Episode 7 to her?

Maybe? Honestly I hope not, it's not really necessary. She doesn't have much significance at all unless something is revealed about her later on.

After episode 7, She is not giving me good vibes. Who was that guy that was peaking through the door when she arrived? Also why does she want him to go outside so desperately. That is not how you help someone in depression and trauma. She is there for her own purpose.

That guy is the condo manager I think, not sure.

As for Yumi, she feels indebted to him for "saving" her life and naively thinks she can convince him to get himself together. She was wrong. I dont pick up any sinister vibes, honestly. I do wonder how she could've heard about what happened and where he lives, but I'll chalk that up to anime logic.

The weird guy you are talking about is the manager of the appartment complex. Did you follow the anime ??? The complex is provided with security, the 2 black guy were those.

flack said:

These are the two guys we saw at Yuu's door this episode. They don't resemble the security guards from episode 1 at all.



I also don't understand where you got that they were black? Finally, I found no proof yet indicating that the glasses dude is the manager. Unless I missed it somewhere I have to check.

Plot twist.

Why would he bring two muscular guys with him at Yuu's door looking like their ready to bust their way in after Yumi left? Would a manage really do that?



Although I do want to believe she is your normal considerate nice girl of typical animes that likes the protagonist, but from episode one, the way she dumped him, I see her as someone with pride and definitely someone who would put herself before others. It is highly unlikely that all this time she was thinking about Yuu and wanting to get back together. I mean why pick this time of all to see him? IMO this is the worst way to get back together with someone.

The reason I don't thinks she was trying to take advantage of Yuu at his weakest state is because she arrived with that suspicious guy. She should be doing this by herself of her own free will which didn't seem like that at all. She was probably bribed into doing this imo. She is very good at acting and is someone who will use that to her advantage to get what she wants. That is what I think of her.
