Yayoi Takato

Yayoi Takato is Himeno Awayuki's schoolmate and friend.

Summary
Yayoi adores romance novels. She'll often go out of her way to find romance during mundane moments.

Background
Yayoi and Himeno became friends when Himeno transferred to Yayoi's high school. After Yayoi hears what some of the other girls in their class say about Himeno, she chooses to ignore what they say and be her friend anyway.

During Himeno's final confrontation with Takako and Great Tree of Fenrir, Yayoi was dragged away from the city in a crowd of fleeing people.

Once the crisis was over, Yayoi attempted to publish her own novel based on Mr. Tanaka's unrequited love, and had hopes of becoming Kaoru Awayuki's apprentice, though she quickly gave up on the latter when Himeno did not approve.

Trivia

 * In the anime, Yayoi admitted to having a crush on Himeno's father Kaoru Awayuki. This does not happen in the manga series.
 * In the manga, Yayoi was the first one other than the Leafé Knights to know that Himeno was the Pretéar.
