Futaba is strong-willed, stubborn, yet passionate and caring. Futaba can be a little indecisive when it comes to what she should do about her feelings for Kou. She gets sort of irritated easily when she can’t figure out how Kou feels or thinks.

Ao Haru Ride anime
Futaba Yoshioka is the main female protagonist of the Ao Haru Ride anime and manga.

The peak of their story is on chapter 27, where Murao finally confessed her feelings properly to Tanaka-sensei, only to get rejected. Murao tearfully understood his reasons, while Tanaka-sensei (with a sad face) apologised and wished her to meet a better man, thus ending their story on a good term.

Mitsuba’s uniform Mitsuba’s appearance is androgynous—many of his classmates have commented on his girly looks. He tends to wear mostly pink oufits. He is a slender and relatively tall middle school-aged ghost with pink hair and eyes.

Futaba is a considerably cute young girl with upper back-length brown hair that has bangs swept to the right side and slightly big golden-brown eyes. She tends to not see her self as very “girly”, but she sometimes tries to wear makeup and gets irritated when Kou Mabuchi tells her “it doesn’t suit her”, which she sort of agrees with.

But, Futaba never let their issue of loving the same person get in the way of their friendship. As time passes, their bond strengthens and they tend to act more sisterly to the point where Futaba is scolded by Yuuri on a few occasions. Shuuko is also a friend that Futaba cherishes.

Futaba’s relationship with Kou starts out rather complicated. Her first year of middle school, she liked the sweet and innocent Kou. When she met Kou again in high school, she was thrown off by his new attitude and was still in love with the old him.
