This is a list of minor characters in Lessons in Love.
今
今, also known as Nao and Ima, is a character who first appeared in Mother's Milk. They are a self-proclaimed embodiment of ever-changing fear and reside within a location they refer to as the "Wishing Well". It is unclear who or exactly what they are, but they seem to hold an extraordinary awareness of both who Sensei is and what he's done. As such, they hold him extremely low regard.
They take a form resembling Ami, though the reason for this is unclear.
Amy
Amy is a character who first appeared in Amy. She bears a strong resemblance to Ami, but is seemingly an entirely different person, having never even heard of Kumon-mi. Additional, her body is extremely warped, having hairs which cut into fabric, lacking legs or hands, and
She currently lives in a place referred to as the "Great Pareidolia Mall", an ever-expanding Mall that few people currently inhabit. She claims to have met Sensei before, telling him he helped "rip number 17" out of her mouth when her gums became infected.
Unlike Ami, Amy is notably more reserved and quiet, getting embarrassed at the prospect of holding hands, going on a date, and even struggled to initially approach Sensei upon their reunion. There are other traits Amy shares with Ami, though, such as both their mothers singing the song "Daisy Bell" to them as children, as well as their adoration of Sensei.
Throughout Sensei's "date" with Amy, she reveals many small bits of information about herself:
- Amy previously had a boyfriend. Their relationship came to an end, though, when he somehow fell into one of the "holes" found within the Mall. She adamantly claims she had nothing to do with this incident.
- Amy has a degenerative bone disease which prevents her from engaging in any strenuous activity. Despite this, she claims to be strong enough in order to lift Sensei up alone.
- Amy had once acquired a tapeworm, resulting in her needing to eat large amounts of bread in order to remove excess moisture from her body.
- Unlike Ami, Amy's mother is still alive, and the two regularly meet up on Wednesdays to get their retinal fluid refilled.
