Mio Kitahara (北原 美桜 Kitahara Mio) is one of the main characters in Waiting in the Summer.

A good friend of Kanna Tanigawa who has feelings for Tetsurō Ishigaki that her thoughts seem to innocently go in a sexual direction sometimes. She offers words of advice to Tetsurō on how to deal with his feelings for Kanna despite her own feelings towards him. After Tetsurō confesses his love for Kanna only to be rejected, Mio comforts him with her kind words.

Appearance[]

Mio has thick waist-length brown hair (which she cuts later to shoulder-length in the series), light green eyes and she has a very kind-hearted, welcoming and innocent face. In the series, she is shown wearing conservative clothing, such as long skirts and non-revealing tops.

Due to her family lifestyle as nudists, she is shown nude in the house even when she sleeps. She is shown to have quite sensitive skin as well, which complicates her other issues.

In episode 9 after confessing to Tetsuro, she cut her hair short.

Personality[]

Mio is a very kind, understanding and shy girl who tends to cry and blush a lot. She gets embarrassed easily after comprehending between her family's unusual lifestyle and normal society. When confronted about this in Episode 8, she admits this to Tetsuro who supports her emotional problems, and becomes more stronger.

She has shown that, while she may be timid at times, Mio is not only observant and selfless (a trait shared by Kanna and Tetsurō as well), out of her friends she is the most well rounded and has been described as "strong" by Tetsurō himself.
