"Azusa Murasaka is a character in the Japanese manga ""Orange"". She is a classmate of the protagonist, Naho Takamiya. Azusa is a talented athlete, specifically in the sport of volleyball, and is often seen practicing and playing games with her team.
Despite her talent and success in sports, Azusa struggles with self-esteem issues. She often compares herself to her older sister, who was also a star athlete in her day, and feels that she is not living up to expectations.
Azusa is kind-hearted and cares deeply for her friends. She is particularly close to Naho and the two girls often have heart-to-heart conversations about their hopes, fears, and insecurities. Azusa does not hesitate to stand up for her friends when they are being mistreated, even if it means confronting bullies or breaking rules.
As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Azusa is struggling with a personal crisis that she has kept hidden from her friends. She is afraid of sharing her worries and feelings, believing that doing so would burden others. Naho and the others try their best to support and encourage Azusa, but ultimately it is up to Azusa to overcome her fears and find the strength to face her problems head-on.
Despite her struggles, Azusa is a beloved and valuable member of the group. Her strength, both physical and emotional, inspires others to be their best selves. Azusa may have moments of doubt and vulnerability, but she never gives up on herself or her friends."
