Haruka Hasebe

Haruka Hasebe is one of the students of class 2-D.

Appearance
Haruka is a teenage girl who is considered to be highly attractive by her classmates with waist-length blue hair that has bangs going on either side, orange eyes with a mole visible beneath her left eye, a well-endowed body and an average height.

She is mostly seen wearing the school's uniform, with the difference that she has the upper button of her shirt undone and her tie relatively loosened.

Personality
Haruka is a pretty normal person, but she is not very open to other people as shown when she didn't participate in the class's swimming session where she tends to prefer keeping to herself and not bothering people, simply to avoid trouble.

In the light novels, she is shown to be overly-conscious and uncomfortable with several boys giving her attention, due to her large bust. As a result, she tries to avoid flirty boys.

She speaks quite a lot but only with people that she is comfortable with such as those in the Ayanokōji Group. She also has a habit of nicknaming her friends, such as giving Kiyotaka Ayanokōji the nickname "Kiyopon" or "Ayanon" because they sounded cute, showing that she enjoys teasing others a lot.

Plot
Haruka is first seen at D-Class's swimming sessions, she does not participate though as she sits in the bleachers as the rest of the class enjoy themselves.

Afterwards, she is mostly seen in the class doing her assignments or doing nothing.

She takes part in the survival test, where she is one of the girls, who want the boys to be separated from the girls after Kei Karuizawa's underwear was stolen.

Academic Abilities
Haruka is excellent at Science and tends to get relatively high scores in Math as well. However, she is quite bad at subjects such as World History and Language, but she has the capability to study hard in these subjects so she does not fail.

Her academic abilities are very similar to Akito Miyake (Haruka's friend), to the point that Kiyotaka Ayanokōji stated their answers were so similar some might think only one person had taken both of their exams.
