'Miku has a hard time figuring out when to stop talking. In fact, I don’t think she has figured it out even once. She has far too much energy for her own good and constantly needs to be reminded to either quiet down or stop running in circles around the classroom. She excels in physical education and is arguably the strongest player on the school’s soccer team. When it comes to every other class or subject, however, she needs a significant amount of additional coaching. Thankfully she’s very close with Makoto and seems to care deeply about making her happy.'— Sensei's notes
Miku Maruyama is part of the Main Cast of in Lessons In Love. She is part of the original ten girls in Sensei's class. She lives in Room 3 with Makoto Miyamura.
Background
Miku’s past is almost completely unknown as Miku doesn’t talk about it. Her refusal to bring up her past is understandable as Miku not only lost her parents in an unknown tragedy, but saw it happen. Her psyche was damaged beyond repair and loud noises seem to send her back to this moment in time. Extended exposure to loud noises, or sudden jumps in noise volume causes her to freak out and tear out at her hair. The circumstances causing this are unknown unless the player makes the right choice.
Even her current situation is a mystery as it's unknown where she came under after the incident and who her current guardians are. It’s only known that she has a close relationship with the Miyamura family, even being seen as a surrogate daughter by Maki, and ended up in Sensei’s class once she attended Kumon-mi High.
Characteristics
Despite her tragic past, Miku has a cheery personality, being rather optimistic and excitable in most situations. She also has a lot of energy which she mostly spends on her training. Despite being usually easy-going, she takes her training and her position as captain of the soccer team very serious and reprimands everyone who slacks off, which includes Kirin. She also has a competitive mindset and enjoys every opportunity to compete with others, but due to the city being locked down, that chance doesn’t come up often.
While Miku excels in physical activities, she struggles with mental tasks and studying. Despite Makoto’s bests efforts to tutor her, she has a hard time understanding basic concepts and often mixes up the meaning of words and missues them. She also doesn’t understand basic innuendos and doesn’t realize when she uses phrases that can be interpreted in a suggestive way, though her lack of understanding can also be a result of her being innocent and lacking experience as her understanding improves over time.
Miku is also insecure about her body. While she doesn’t mind her tomboyish looks and figure most of the time, she still has a complex about her chest, though unlike Ami, who acts passive-aggressive to those more endowed than her or point out her lack of development, Miku gets furious and verbally assaults those who are more blessed than her. She also gets nervous whenever her hairstyle changes and feels uncomfortable in feminine clothes, like dresses.
Relationships
Sensei
Miku has a friendly relationship with Sensei and immediately tries to recruit him as the new coach of the soccer team, eventually forcing him into the position after getting tired of his noncommitial answers. From time to time, she also persuades him into physical activities, like jogging with her.
As they spend more time together, she slowly develops feelings for him, but while she knows that she likes him a lot, she isn’t sure what to call the feeling. This inexperience in love causes her to be very nervous around Sensei whenever the conversation is heading in that direction and stops Sensei from moving their relationship further in several cases. After a few incidents where he managed to get closer to her, she decided to not let him advance their relationship any further, wanting to support Makoto in her love, and choosing to suppress her own feelings for him.
While this suppression worked for a few several months, they still came out on rare occasions and after receiving his gift in No Escape, she was unable to contain them any further and kissed Sensei as her resolve fainted. After confessing to Makoto and getting her permission to explore her feelings, she embraces them and gets closer to Sensei, even being okay with certain forms of physical affection.
Makoto
Makoto is Miku's roommate. Although the two girls don't have much in common, they share a deep friendship, with Miku respecting Makoto as a superior in some cases. Makoto is one of the few people who know about her past and is able to help her with her panic attacks or, in some cases, the aftermath of them.
Miku is aware of Makoto’s feelings for Sensei and knows everything they have done together. She supports their relationship wholeheartedly, knowing that Sensei is an important person in her life and that she needs his affection, and was ready to put her own feelings aside for her, even though her support came with a lot of heartache due to her own feelings.
After what happened during the second Christmas party, they become rivals in love, but their friendship is still as strong as ever and they support each other during hard times.
Karin
Karin is Miku's teammate and serves as her co-captain. Thanks to that, she and Miku share an incredibly strong relationship with each other, centering all their conversations around soccer and the team. Karin is also one of the few people who knows about her past and can handle her panic attacks.
Kirin
Miku's relationship with Kirin shows some ups and downs as Miku respects Kirin as her teammate, but occasionally scolds her for not trying hard enough on practices and for her open flirting with Sensei in front of her.
Sana
Sana and Miku seem to have a friendly relationship as they're seen together during multiple class events. She also likes to play video games with her when Makoto isn't paying attention to her.
