Haru and Shizuku officially became a couple after Kenji's unrequited love and rejected confession to Shizuku. Their relationship later became difficult because of Yūzan Yoshida (Haru's older brother). Haru went oversea for Tuna Fishing for approximately a year.
Shizuku and Haru first met when their teacher Saeko Ninomiya bribed Shizuku with approximately 3,800 Yen to bring Yoshida Haru some class readings and homework. After their first encounter, Haru became attracted to Shizuku and attends school to see Shizuku more often.
She was the only one at school who wanted Haru to come back because she didn't want him to be expelled from school. Even though she's part of the reason why he's back at school, she is often intimidated by Haru and they don't get along very well. Later, Nagoya was brought to school Saeko lectures Haru about bringing a chicken to school. Sasahara and Asako persuaded Saeko that chickens were kept at their past schools, and Saeko was considerate enough to ask the faculty for permission.
When Haru became sad that Yūzan was smiling less often and spending less time with him, his grades dropped, and because of the problems he caused, he was kicked out of his house and went to live with Kyoko Misawa (Haru's paternal aunt). While he was there, Haru was a shy, rebellious and very reserved person.
He appears as a high school first year student who attends the same school and same class as the female protagonist named Shizuku Mizutani. He was suspended from school because of having a misunderstanding with upperclassmen before the start ...
In Robico's color illustrations Haru's eyes are usually brown, sometimes grey and occasionally other colors.
Mitsuyoshi is Haru's older cousin. He has allowed Haru to live with him after his mother's death. He acts like an older brother to Haru by teasing him and messing with him. Natsume even assumed they were brothers through their interaction with each other. He often warns Haru whenever Yūzan comes looking for him. It's never clearly mentioned why he doesn't like Yūzan, but it's possible that he sees Yūzan as a negative threat to Haru.
He always finds time to get in between Shizuku and Haru, to Haru's annoyance. In chapter 44, when he fully accepts his feelings and finally confesses and she doesn't give him a response and he tells her to properly consider him. She doesn't sleep at all that day and next day morning, she blushes when remembering him.
Initially, Shizuku sat next to Haru Yoshida in homeroom, but because of his suspension, she never saw him. One day, one of her teachers asked her to take some notes over to Haru's apartment and also to remind him that if he did not come to school again, he would be expelled from the school.
Outside of school, Shizuku mostly wears old-fashioned clothes; Haru Yoshida has commented on her fashion sense as "grandma-like," though after she graduated she stopped wearing the twin tails and had her hair cut short while still keeping her bangs.
Shizuku and Yoshida first met when Shizuku delivered some class readings and homework as requested by their teacher. It was shown that Haru was suspended from school because of a fight that happened at the start of the school year, although even after his suspension was raised he rarely comes to school because of his fear of human interaction that is until he met Shizuku who he immediately considered a friend. After a few encounters, Haru confusingly conveys his feelings to Shizuku after she stood up for him against Kenji and his friends, surprising the latter. Haru started attending school the next day having been attached to Shizuku and wanting to see her more. Meeting Haru would inadvertently make Shizuku see a vast world beyond school and studying, whilst also making her feel emotions she hasn't shown before, eventually she started to realize her feelings towards Haru and decided to confess to him over time that she loves him and that she meant it. However, he rejected her and told her that their concept of love was different. Shizuku took back her words, and told him that she'll wait for him to fall in love with her before saying it again. The two would remain close to each other throughout their school year.
Shizuku is very absorbed in her studies, mostly because she wishes to be like Yoshino Mizutani (Shizuku's mother), who works overtime to accommodate for Takaya Mizutani (Shizuku’s father), who had not been successful in his work. She is also sometimes emotionally withdrawn and socially inept.
After a while, Haru would start to experience uncertain feelings towards Shizuku, however Shizuku's feelings towards Haru resulted in a downgrade of her rank, from #2 to #29, causing Shizuku to push Haru away to focus more on her studies even going far as saying that she no longer has feelings for him.
In order to attend to household chores, Shizuku chose a high school near her house. When it is cold, Shizuku will wear woolen shorts. Because of Takashi Mizutani (Shizuku's father), Shizuku doesn’t want to waste money. All the books that Shizuku has been reading are borrowed from the library.
