She may not be the most eye-catching character, but she's a great addition to the team! We'll talk about the charm of Ui, who supports Yui Hirasawa and Azusa Nakano behind the scenes.

She wears her brown hair in a ponytail, and the yellow rubber band that holds it up is the same as her older sister, Yui. When she lets her hair down, she looks so much like her sister that even the other members of the light music club don't notice (lol). But she's such a good-looking little sister that it makes you wonder if they're really sisters!

Since Hirasawa Ui is the younger sister, she's probably fluffy!

The story revolves around the members of the Light Music Club, centered around Hirasawa Yui. Although Yui is an indispensable character, even the members of the club were initially unaware of her existence.
Hearing that Yui was her younger sister, all the members of the light music club immediately began to picture her in their heads. Yui's younger sister... Ah, something like this? Everyone unanimously imagined her, with Yui's aura and appearance exactly like her younger sister.
But when they met, they were all surprised! After all, her introduction to the light music club members was, "My older sister is always grateful for your help."

After that, seeing Ui's hospitality and respect for her sister, everyone thought to themselves, "Wow, what a great little sister!"... Such a big sister, such a great little sister. Perhaps Yui's airheadedness is due to Ui's reliable nature!

Ui and Yui's parents seem to be so close that they even go on trips together. This means the sisters are often alone together. Perhaps it's thanks to Ui's strong sense of responsibility that she can be trusted to take care of the house like that.
Since the Hirasawas' parents are often away, Ui is in charge of all household chores.

Every morning, Yui wakes up, prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Not only does she cook all three meals, she also keeps the house clean and does the laundry. While fulfilling her duties as a student, she also doubles as a housewife.

Her abilities are incredible. When Yui and the other members of the light music club worked part-time jobs to buy a guitar, she gave her a lunch box so big it couldn't be eaten by herself, telling her to "eat it together!" When her classmate Azusa Nakano and fellow jazz club member Jun Suzuki visited her house, they had a table full of delicious treats, with a spare change in case they needed more.

In addition to cooking, Yui also bakes sweets. Yui says the cookies she makes are delicious!

In addition to general housework, she's also good at socializing with her neighbors, handing out souvenirs from her travels. She's the epitome of a housewife.

Ui Hirasawa loves her big sister!

Ui is always following Yui. She helps out in many ways, such as tutoring (amazing considering she's one year younger), teaching guitar by starting from scratch, and helping recruit new members for the light music club. Even her classmate Nakano Azusa is surprised. Nakano Azusa is in the same light music club as Yui, and is often at Yui's mercy, so she seems to see Ui very clearly. Furthermore, Yui is very physical, often hugging and otherwise touching her, which often makes Nakano Azusa blush. When Ui tells her this, she replies, "Big sisters are so warm and gentle." Her words and everyday actions are clear, and her love for Yui is overflowing!

Hirasawa Ui would do anything for her big sister...!

As the school festival approaches, Yui develops a fever. She needs to practice for the live performance. But her high fever keeps her from moving.

Ui diligently nursed Yui. She also served as a liaison with the Light Music Club in place of Yui, who was unable to attend school. Without Yui's lead guitar and vocals, the Light Music Club was unsure of what to do. Since she's the guitarist, they try to move forward with the idea of Nakano Azusa playing lead guitar, but Nakano Azusa is strongly opposed. "If Yui-senpai isn't there, we shouldn't perform live!" Yui thinks. In response to Yui's poor health and Nakano Azusa's feelings, Yui devises a plan.

One day after school, Yui visits the clubroom. The members of the club are overjoyed to see her recovered! They immediately begin practicing. Yui plays the guitar as usual. Everyone notices something strange about her performance.
