Тика Минадзуки

Таэко's younger cousin. She spends most of her time at the summer cafe by the sea, helping her grandmother. Noticing Taeko's interest in Kaoru, she tries to set them up, but without success. Tika is very energetic and cheerful. At first, she moves into the Sakuraba's house to have time to finish her homework before the school year starts, and later simply transfers to a nearby school. She really likes Kaoru and sees him as an older brother, even addressing him as "brother".
