Ichika Takatsuki (貴月 イチカ Takatsuki Ichika) is the main heroine of Waiting in the Summer.

She is an alien who came to Earth to find her dream land until her ship crashlands due to a malfunction which accidentally injures Kaito (who was near the landing point by chance) in the process. She heals him before transferring to his high school as a foreign third-year student and lives in Kaito's house after he unconsciously offers her a place to stay.

Appearance[]

Ichika has long red hair that is tied in a small ponytail on the left side with bangs hanging on the right side, violet eyes and she wears square-rimmed glasses which is a device in order to able to translate earth language. Other than her alien outfit, her clothes on Earth consists of her school uniform, Nanami's clothes or buys some. She is often seen carrying her partner, Rinon.

Personality[]

Ichika is a kind, polite and friendly girl who is an odd cook as her food combination choices are bizarre, but it is still edible. Being an alien unaccustomed to life on Earth, her actions may seem weird in the eyes of others, but she is quick to correct herself, if only to hide the fact that she's an alien.

Despite her awareness of Kaito Kirishima's feelings, she still treats him like her little brother; because of Nanami Kirishima's request to take care of him. As the time passes, she slowly grows aware of her own feelings toward him.
