Maki

Maki is the drummer and one of the vocalists of the band Love Crysis and an old middle school friend of Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama. She made her first appearance in the episode Live House!.

Maki and her bandmembers Aya and Shiho invite the band of Maki's friend Ritsu, Ho-kago Tea Time, to play at a live house as the first live performance outside of the band's school.

Character
Even though Maki might appear "scary" at first sight, she is in fact a very kind and laid-back person with a deep affection for her band and its members. In contrast to the unexperienced bandmembers of HTT, Maki and her band already performed very often and are therefore pretty easygoing when it comes to giving concerts. Nevertheless, as mentioned by Ritsu, Maki and her friends are still way more motivated than the members of HTT are.

Maki is very cooperative and tries to smooth the way for Ritsu and her friends whenever she can, even in foreign countries like the United Kindom. She also has good connections to Kawakami, the owner of the live house where HTT held their first performance outside of their school.

Appearance
Maki has long black hair and is usually seen wearing her band's orange pullover alongside grey flap trousers, big red sunglasses and black shoes. In London, she is seen wearing a black jacket with a green scarf.
