Ayumu Fujino

This is Ayumu Fujino from Look Back. Externally Ayumu is friendly & gregarious, with a calm, cool, confident but humble personality. Internally however, she is shown to be insecure, petty and prideful, which can cause her to lash out in small petty passive aggressive-ways such as referring to Kyomoto as lame for never leaving her house & drawing a comic to mock Kyomoto because the girls superior drawing skills made her jealous. When her rival-turned-best-friend Kyomoto admitted she would not be joining her in making their professional manga series as she wanted to receive a formal education in art, she pretended it was no big deal and seemingly encouraged her to go but, also mentioned it would probably be boring. As the discussion continued her cool veneer broke down and she lashed out by claiming Kyomoto would undoubtedly fail as her intense social anxiety would make it impossible for her to live on her own or even talk to teachers. In reality she was deeply hurt and upset her friend was leaving her, and refused to speak with her again leading to their estrangement. She shows a tendency to give up, runaway, or pretend she doesn't care when things become truly upsetting for her such as when she ran out of Kyomoto's house in shame for making a mocking comic about the shut-in, and quitting drawing when she sees that despite all her effort, Kyomoto has still surpassed her in drawing skills. She often hides behind a mask of indifference towards things she actually cares about in order to mask her pain, or simply look cool for others. She claimed she had put minimal effort into the highly praised comic she had drawn when in fact she had stayed up all night to make it perfect. When Kyomoto praised her comic she pretended to be thankful but indifferent to it when it actually filled her with such joy she skipped and danced all the way home in jubilation.
