Ayane is a close friend of Sawako and is often considered the most mature member of their group. She has pierced ears multiple times and is currently in college with a boyfriend. Initially, the mangaka intended for Yano and Yoshida to be a pair, but later redrafted their appearances to make them more distinguishable. In Kurumis fake rumors, it's said that Ayane has played with over 100 guys in middle school. Currently, she and Yano have authority in the year group at their high school. Ayane is known for being perceptive and intelligent, often giving just enough information to leave others wondering. She was able to figure out that Ume spread the rumors about Sawako and also realized that Sawako "liked" Kazehaya. Despite her calm demeanor, she can become easily infuriated if someone hurts Sawako and does not hesitate to attack with kicks and sharp words.

After she suggested they break up, he slapped her across the face. When he tried to apologize and ask her back, she realizes that the man she liked was not her boyfriend but rather, who he was when they started dating.
Ayane had been a great friend to Sawako and Chizu, but still believes she isnt a kind person. In Chapter 45, when she confessed that she doesnt believe she is a kind person (compared to Sawako and Chizu) because of how cunning she can be in front of Pin, she dreads another full-of-himself lecture from a surprisingly quiet Pin, who instead stares at a candy she gave him because he was whining about not getting one after the festival.
