time jobs and appears to be in middle school. Suzuna has a friendly relationship with Shintani, whom she recalls from when he and Misaki were childhood friends. In the anime, she often enters magazine contests and always seems to win food prizes. Her first appearance occurs in chapter 35 in the manga, while she is a frequent recurring character in the anime. From chapter 65 onwards, Suzuna attends Seika High as a freshman student. While she is instantly popular with the male population, most of the boys are wary of her being Misaki's sister and they fear that her easy-going personality is a ruse. It is also shown in later chapters (particularly during her first few days at Seika High) that Suzuna has a deepening affection towards Hinata. During the events of the final chapter, she marries Shintani Hinata. Misaki and Suzuna's absentee father. He left his wife and daughters with tremendous debt, which is the primary source of Misaki's initially deep resentment towards men. Little is known about him at first, though Misaki's mother notes that Hinata's personality reminds her of her husband, despite Hinata's vehement denial of the comparison. He later appears as a new cook at Café Maid Latte and proves to be an excellent chef with a bright and cheery personality reminiscent of Hinata. Sakuya's circumstances before being hired are unknown, aside from the fact that he apparently had been abroad. However, he takes pains to avoid Misaki and Suzuna until Suzuna recognizes his cooking and he forces himself to reveal his identity as their father. It is revealed that Minako had lied about the lazy gambling father they imprinted in her daughter's minds and in reality, Sakuya shouldered his friend's debt and left to go find him. But when he found him, he found out that he started his own family and couldn't return to Japan. In attempting to try to make up to his daughters, he spent many nights wandering and sleeping in the streets before making it to the Maid Latte. Since he returned, Misaki and Suzuna welcome their father back but do not forgive him completely, forcing him to continue living in the streets and working part time at Maid Latte. While he feels that he is not allowed to interfere with his daughter's affairs, Sakuya ultimately gives his blessing for Usui's proposal to Misaki. Maid Latte The manager of Maid Latte
