'Maya is...a strange girl.[...] Despite having known her for so long, I don't know much information about her or her interests. All I know is that she cares deeply for Ami and doesn't typically like being around men.'— Sensei's notes
Maya Makinami is part of the Main Cast of in Lessons In Love. She is one of the 10 original main cast girls.
Background
Sensei meets Maya on his first day out of school (which, as it turns out later, is a recurring event).During the school year, Sensei visits her at the shrine and also at the dorms, though Maya tries to avoid conversations with him. Over time, Sensei learns that once in a while, all the inhabitants of Kumon-mi except her disappear and Maya is responsible for restarting the world into an infinite loop of repeatable events. However, after latest restart, when the world goes into winter, events begin to occur that Maya cannot predict or control, which, along with Sensei's worsening hallucinations, begins to frighten her.
Characteristics
She is a very mysterious girl who prefers to spend time alone. She usually only contributes a few words to a conversation, especially when forced to spend time with Sensei, and her speech is mostly devoid of any emotion. She has no friends in class besides Ami and Ayane, and some of the girls consider her weird. However, she can be friendly even towards Sensei at some points.
Relationships
Sensei
Even though Sensei tries to get close to her, Maya is not interested and instead tries to avoid him as much as possible. His new personality and perversal proposals disgust her. But as Sensei's hallucinations and unpredictable events worsen, Maya begins to worry about him. When Sensei collapses in her room, she even offers him sex out of desperation to get him out of it, and often warns him about Noriko. Although she obviously knows the answers to some of Sensei's questions, she continues to refuse to reveal them to him.
Ami
Maya and Ami have been best friends for years and often spend time together in the dorm room and at Sensei's house.
Ayane
Maya doesn't have as good relationship with Ayane as she does with Ami, but it can still be considered as friendly compared to the other classmates.
Noriko
Maya hates Noriko for a reason unknown to Sensei. When Noriko first appears in Sensei's class, Maya outbursts and insults her. From that point on, she also discourages Sensei from spending time with her.
