Background

Anon prepared to enroll at Haneoka with the ambition of becoming noticeable, initially considering a class representative position as a realistic first step. She transferred into Akari's class under the name “Aine,” greeting her classmates with a bright smile. 3 4

Before transferring, Anon had been her junior high school's student council president. She planned to study abroad in England, but returned after only a few months because she could not adapt to the environment or follow the language as spoken there. Ashamed that her highly publicized study-abroad plan had ended in failure, she avoided confronting her old classmates and concealed the truth. 42 242

Anon was largely raised by her grandmother while her parents were occupied with work. Her grandmother made dolls for her, played house with her, and remained a central childhood presence until her death during Anon's sixth-grade year. Anon later observes her grandmother's death anniversary and prays not to keep failing. 244

Anon is a pink-haired girl described as beautiful, with a carefully maintained fashionable image. She is 160 cm tall and is sensitive about comparisons to taller or more developed girls. 4 128 182

• Usually wears the Haneoka school uniform.
• Strongly favors fashionable clothing, accessories, swimsuits, and stage outfits.

Personality

Anon is energetic, socially aware, and deeply motivated by attention and recognition. She enjoys taking photos, managing appearances, sharing outings online, and being admired by classmates; she is especially pleased when her association with Riki makes her look impressive. 107 129 282

Her confidence often masks insecurity. Criticism of her guitar playing, her failed time abroad, or comparison with more talented peers can make her defensive or despondent. She initially frames setbacks as others' fault, but repeatedly chooses to practice, perform, and face what she fears rather than retreat. 12 42 251 252

Despite her vanity, Anon is considerate of Mygo. She defended Riki after the band's failed Live, worried about hurtful online comments aimed at her bandmates, organized gifts and celebrations, and publicly praised every member during her street performance. 86 126 251 252

Anon is inexperienced in romance and prone to grand assumptions about it. She boasts of former dating experience despite being unable to answer basic questions about kissing, repeatedly assumes Riki is secretly in love with her, and becomes visibly jealous when other girls are close to him. 175 178 212

Story Role / Major Arcs

Joining Mygo

Anon transfers to Haneoka and joins the emerging band as guitarist. Her first practice ends badly when Rikki criticizes her lack of preparation, but Anon resolves to practice harder rather than abandon the group. 4 12

First Live and Musical Insecurity

Although Anon practices diligently before Mygo's early Live, stage fright overwhelms her and she breaks her pick mid-song, halting the performance. The experience reinforces her fear that she is not talented enough. 51 53

Reconciling With Riki

After Riki leaves the band without explanation, Anon remains one of the few members who continues defending him. She later rebuffs his attempts to reconnect, but their batting-cage challenge and his explanation of his circumstances lead her to forgive him on the condition that he does not disappear again. 126 129 130 133

Facing Her Past

A dispute with Rikki pushes Anon to try proving herself through a duo with Riki. Her solo subway performance initially fails to draw attention, forcing her to confront the same feelings of failure that followed her return from England. She ultimately admits the truth to her former classmates, receives their acceptance, and performs confidently with Riki before publicly affirming Mygo. 251 252

Relationship With Riki

Anon develops feelings for Riki while simultaneously trying to preserve her pride and public image. After learning that several bandmates are already involved with him, she initially rejects his harem proposal on practical and emotional grounds. She nevertheless agrees to a trial relationship, becomes Riki's girlfriend, and gradually finds genuine happiness in the relationship rather than treating it as a status symbol. 212 253 282 288

Kohaku Uta Gassen

When Mygo is invited to perform alongside Mujica at Kohaku Uta Gassen, Anon fears she will hold the others back. With Runa's tutoring, Riki's support, and intensive practice, she chooses to take the stage despite pain and self-doubt. The performance succeeds, and Anon proudly shares both the achievement and her relationship with Riki with her mother. 320 321 322 324
