Extended Information



Rika is the founder and manager of Harada Design. She ran it with her husband until he died in a car accident that happened on the opening night of a store they designed together. She has been greatly disturbed by the accident, and often blames herself for his death... (she was the one driving) and even as time passes, she is unable to accept any other man in the place of her dead husband (which causes many complications for Mayama, who is obsessively in love with her). This accident has also scarred her physically (it damaged her legs so she is unable to walk for long periods without the help of a cane and medicine).

Rika has thought about suicide many times and is finishing up projects left by her husband at a brisk pace so she can "end it all" and be with him. She has also always been close with Shuji (the three of them have been together since college years, and even lived in the same apartment).
