Misa chan

misaki and Suzuna's mother. Misaki cares for her sickly mother very much, knowing her current condition. Her mother also worries about Misaki's happiness. Minako is very understanding and supportive of Misaki. She is carefree and constantly advises Misaki to relax, spending her youth doing "things a typical high school girl should be doing" like going on dates and buying clothes instead of studying and doing her part time job. In Chapter 47 of the manga, she encourages Misaki to accept the offer of going on a double datum to the hot springs with Usui, Sakura and Kuuga, even after Misaki explains the expenses of the trip and that there will be boys. In the end, Misaki reluctantly goes on the trip.
