Shizuka Yoshimoto (
Appearance[]
Shizuka Full Appearance
Shizuka is one of the smaller, petite girlfriends (despite being a first-year in high school), and has a rounder face similar to some of the younger members of Rentarou's Family. She has amethyst-smoke eyes, and long, messy charcoal-blue hair reaching beyond her waist.
School Uniform[]
Shizuka accessorizes her uniform with a teal sweater vest and red uniform ribbon. As a student librarian, she also wears a white armband with green trim that says "Library Staff" (
Shizuka is usually seen with her smartphone in hand (with a brick-red and maroon square pattern on her case) so she can communicate.
Personality[]
Shizuka is rather timid especially given her rather quiet or mute voice which makes her rather distant from other people. However, ever since she met Rentarou she has become braver, even willing to sacrifice her own safety to help Hakari out. She is also the most modest of Rentarou's girlfriends as she doesn't like being dirty-minded. She even refused to peep on him when he was taking a bath and even tried to stop them from doing so.
Abilities[]
Peerless Cuteness[]
Shizuka is one of the smaller, more petite members of Rentarou's family - to the point where she can be blown away if the wind is strong enough.
Her cuteness has been compared to that of a small animal - like a squirrel (as seen in the Food Fight Festival, when she took part in the boba milk tea round). She was also able to avoid getting attacked by the Hanazono estate's dog when Rentarou's Family was attempting to rescue Hakari - and avoid getting detected by Nano during the Zombie Nurse Tag chapter.
During the karaoke date, in an enclosed lounge filled with Kusuri's Cuteness-Amplification drug, Shizuka's singing was cute enough to blow the members of Rentarou's family away - literally.
History[]
For a long time, Shizuka had trouble communicating with people verbally. The origin of this issue is still unknown, but to overcome it she uses books to replace talking to people, and because of that she got bullied a lot in her middle school.
The problem was so severe that at one point even her mother hit her and forced her to speak.
To avoid talking to people most of the time, in high school she joined the library staff where she could continue reading books without talking to anyone.
One day, Rentarou, Hakari, and Karane went to the school's library to search for some books. While the two girls looked for cooking books, Rentarou tried to find something to read himself. He then met Shizuka when she reached for some books on a high shelf. After the soulmate shock, they have a short conservation and Rentarou asked Shizuka about book recommendations. She found a lot of books for him but because of the library's rules, Rentarou could not borrow them. Shizuka then gave him her personal favorite novel, which Rentarou finished in one night.
The next day, Rentarou returned the book to Shizuka and noticed that she prepared the next volume for him. They then had a talk in which Shizuka explained her difficulties in communicating. Rentarou borrowed Shizuka's book again and in one week, he converted it into digital format.
Rentarou then suggested Shizuka install a text-to-speech app and use it to talk with people using the book's content. The first thing Shizuka said with the app was that she loved Rentarou, which he accepted. Then Rentarou introduced Shizuka to Hakari and Karane, officially making her his 3rd girlfriend.
Relationships[]
Nano Eiai[]
She seems to have a fairly close relationship with Nano, liking to play with dolls and read with Nano. And they both went to buy books. Nano is the girl who she sees the most. Shizuka always saved by Nano when the gust of wind blows her petite body away.
Meru Zetsubouda[]
Meru persuades Shizuka to writes fairy tales and gives her a can of energy drink for mood booster.
Etymology[]
- Yoshimoto (好本) uses the kanjis for "to like, to love" (好き) (suki) and "book" (本) (hon).
- This references her love for reading, and her tendency to quote from books as a way to communicate with others.
- Shizuka (静) means "quiet" (静か)(shizuka).
- This references her character trait of being selectively mute.
Birthday[]
Shizuka's birthday is November 1st (11/1).
- Her birthday is by the Japanese Anniversary Association as Book Day (
本 の日 Hon no hi?), as the number 1 resembles books on a bookshelf.
Trivia[]
- Shizuka has kissed and been kissed by Rentarou at least 33 times as of Chapter 180.
- Shizuka is the first and only one of Rentarou's girlfriends, to clearly see his genitals in Chapter 21. She implied that his thing is huge.
- Shizuka is the first girlfriend to have her family members shown in the series (in her case, her mother).
