Kokoro is understanding of Kippei's responsibility to spend most of his time with Yuzuyu.

Kokoro starts living with Kippei's family at the end of chapter 29. At the end of Volume 6 she tells her friends that she might be pregnant.

Her father married another woman and thinking Kokoro could fend on her own, rents her a luxurious apartment to live in. This makes it easy for her to sympathize with Yuzuyu. She is quiet, and rather lonesome as she lost her mother at an early age. Voiced by: Miyū Tsuzurahara Kokoro Tokunaga ( 徳永心 Tokunaga Kokoro ?) Kokoro is the soon-to-be girlfriend of Kippei. She loves to draw, and likes corn and shellfish. It is hinted that the teenage Yuzuyu might be dating her childhood friend, Shouta. At the very end of the 7th volume, she is seen as a teenager who had written to Kippei a letter. This conflicts with her wish to be with Kippei. During the whole series, Yuzuyu struggles with the absence of her mother and her wish to be with her. She is very protective of Kippei but truly only wants him to be happy. In the beginning, she tells Satsuki she wants to marry Kippei when she grows up. She tries her best to live without her mother. (He only receives the letter in the manga.) Voiced by: Daisuke Fujita Yuzuyu Sakashista ( 坂下ゆずゆ Sakashista Yuzuyu ?) Yuzuyu ('Yuzu' for short) is a bubbly little girl.

At the end of the manga he is mentioned living with his sister brother and possibly Kokoro. At the end of Volume 7, he receives a letter from Yuzuyu. He becomes more responsible and becomes Kokoro's boyfriend. Over the series his cooking and personality change for the better. On top of that, the food he gives her is unremarkable, but Yuzuyu eats it because Kippei is the one who cooked it. At his first attempt to make Yuzuyu's lunch, he only made one extra-large onigiri.
