Yuko Ozawa

Yuko Ozawa Originally a shy, overweight junior high classmate, she developed a deep crush on Yuji after overhearing him tell other boys that he liked her for her "elegant" way of eating and writing, rather than just her physical appearance. This moment left a lasting impression on Yuko, as Yuji was the only one who saw her for who she truly was. Years later, she moves to Tokyo and undergoes a radical physical "glow-up," becoming much taller and thinner due to the stress of her new environment. When she eventually reunites with Yuji in a chance meeting facilitated by Nobara Kugisaki, she is surprised and deeply moved when he recognizes her instantly, proving that his initial kindness was sincere and not based on her looks. While she decides not to confess her feelings at that moment to work on her own self-worth.
