Motoko Iura (井浦 基子 Iura Motoko?) is the younger sister of Shuu Iura.

Appearance[]

Motoko has short green hair and lime-green eyes.

In many regards, she is like a younger female version of Shuu Iura. When they are gender-swapped, they tend to look almost identical to each other. She is sometimes mistaken for a boy, probably due to her short hair, casual clothes and face, similar to Shuu.

Personality[]

Self-described as an untalkative, gloomy type, Motoko is the opposite of Shuu Iura. She tends to keep to herself and has a hard time making friends. However, unlike Shuu, this personality also carries over to her school life, though she is much more forceful and violent towards her brother than others. She is also pretty smart but lacks the confidence to use it too well.

She is three years younger than Shuu, making her a 3rd-year middle school student. Because she desperately wants to go to East High School (a very high-level school), Shuu helps her and arranges for her to get tutoring from Kyouko Hori for the entrance exam. Despite this, Motoko is not accepted and elects to attend Katagiri instead.

Plot[]

Iura is seen looking at Izumi Miyamura from an upper-floor window at school.

Relationships[]

Shuu Iura []

Shuu is Motoko's older brother who acts cold towards him and fights a lot, but deep down; they love each other. In the past, Motoko was very possessive of her older brother, almost to the point of being a bro-con. When she's scared at night, Motoko often goes into Shuu's room and sleeps next to him.

Due to a misunderstanding, Motoko believes Shuu likes "Sengoku-san" and frequently asks about this and if they are dating.

Aoi Kitahara []

Motoko and Kitahara are classmates in middle school and, later, in high school. She likes Kitahara, though she never openly tells him so. At a minimum, they are close friends, and Kitahara treats Motoko kindly. However, after meeting Shuu, Kitahara seems to have directed his attention toward him, much to Motoko's displeasure.

Megumi Akitsu[]

Megumi is Motoko and Kitahara's classmate. Since she likes Kitahara, she is initially antagonistic towards Motoko due to the way Kitahara often goes over to Motoko's house and how Kitahara treats her nicely. However, after talking and discovering that Kitahara isn't dating her, Aki and Motoko become friends.

Etymology[]

  • The name Motoko means "group, basis" (基) (moto) and "child" (子) (ko).
  • Motoko's surname Iura means "well, mine shaft, pit" (井) (i) and "inlet, bay, gulf, creek, cove" (浦) (ura).

Trivia[]

  • It is said by Shuu that both him and Motoko have the same facial features as their mother, which is why they are close to identical.
  • When Motoko's hair gets longer, it becomes unruly so she prefers to keep it short.
