椎名 真穂

The landlord of "Koubou Shiina", she takes care of the apartments and her tenants' needs. However, she is a closet Doujinshi manga artist and is constantly looking for ways to improve her output through research. One of her apartments is empty, so she welcomes Kamikura Hina's referral of a new tenant. An unfortunate "accident" reveals her secret to Oogaki Koutarou, but his reaction to her secret hobby is so unexpected she makes an unusual offer to him regarding "reference materials". When she was still in school Maho was not very outgoing and spent most of her time reading books. During a school cultural festival she was forced into the literature committee and came up with a mascot which proved to be unexpectedly popular. Coupled with her own love of manga, she started her secret hobby as a manga artist focusing on adult-orientated works. For her research, she's willing to order adult goods online and receives costumes from fellow hobbyists. She refused to engage in cosplay for many years despite the costumes. With Koutarou's assistance, the realism and quality of her output increases. Eventually she gets a big break at a convention when a magazine scouts her out for publication. Although she took up the hobby never intending it to be her livelihood, Koutarou encourages her to take up the challenge and vows to support her any way he can.
