Miu Ashihara (葦原 美雨 Ashihara Miu) was the former president of the Literature Club.
Appearance[]
Miu has dark-green hair that is styled in a bobcut with her bangs covering much of her forehead and olive green colored eyes. Miu has a slender body but feels self-conscious about her small breasts.
Personality[]
Miu is portrayed as a shy and soft-spoken girl, with a sense of strictness when they are in the library. However, she also has an innocent vibe and can be awkward at times, especially when she’s around her adviser, Kiriya. Her bashfulness is more intense than Rui Tachibana's, and she often struggles to express herself comfortably in social situations. She has a crush on Kiriya but is very reserved in expressing her feelings. Despite her quiet nature, Miu is a dedicated and passionate reader.
Plot[]
Miu is Natsuo's classmate and the former president of the Literature Club. She was the club's president during their second and graduating years, having taken over from previous members before handing it over to her younger clubmates. When Natsuo first encountered the Literature Club, Miu was the only active member, and he was forcefully recruited by Reiji Kiriya, the club's advisor.
Miu lives in an apartment complex with her two younger siblings: her brother, Haruma, who is four years younger, and her sister, Miya, who is nine years younger. Like Miu, her siblings are avid readers. When Natsuo visited Miu’s house to exchange their works, her siblings mistakenly believed he was her boyfriend and were delighted to see her having one, though the truth was quite different.
After graduating from high school, Miu went on to university and worked part-time at a bookstore. Like Natsuo, she aspired to become a novelist but, after her time in the Literature Club, she changed her focus to becoming an editor.
During their first summer camp with the Literature Club, Natsuo began to think of Miu as more than just a friend, though his feelings were conflicted due to his love for Hina Tachibana.
Etymology[]
- The name Miu means "beautiful" (美) (mi) and "rain" (雨) (u).

Trivia[]

- Just like Natsuo Fujii, Miu is a hardcore bookworm and an aspiring novelist with both them and Rui sending their novels for the Shinkousaa Competition.
