>>29025661While she originally intended to join the literary club, she was forced into the light music club by her childhood friend and the club's president/drummer, Ritsu.[1] She gets excellent grades in school and is often mature and strict especially where Ritsu is involved; her weakness is the horrific; she is often incapacitated with fear when stories involving ghosts, blood, injuries,[18] haunted houses,[19] barnacles[20] or other disturbing topics come up. She also has a fear of being in the spotlight and gets embarrassed easily, and is often subject to teasing from Ritsu[18] and Sawako, their club adviser and eventual third-year homeroom teacher. Mio has long, straight black hair and gray eyes (that are angled slightly more than the other characters). She cites that she chose bass since it is not the center of attention in the band, unlike the guitarist.[16] Mio is more technical when it comes to music, and Yui often comes to her when she is in need of more guitar tutorials.
