Kurusu Hana is a prominent character from the manga series, *Koi wa Ameagari no You ni* (After the Rain), written and illustrated by Jun Mayuzuki. She is a high school student and works part-time at the Garden restaurant.

Hana is known for her reserved and seemingly aloof personality. Initially, she struggles to express her feelings openly, which can sometimes make her appear distant. However, beneath her quiet exterior lies a thoughtful and caring individual.

She forms a unique and complex relationship with the manager of the Garden restaurant, Kondo Masami, who is significantly older than her. This relationship is a central theme of the manga, exploring themes of unrequited love, personal growth, and the challenges of navigating different stages of life.

Throughout the series, Hana grapples with her unrequited feelings for Kondo and the changes happening around her. Her journey involves self-discovery, learning to communicate more effectively, and ultimately, finding her own path.
