She loves from a distance. Komano didn't know she had a crush on him because she didn't approach him, and neither did Kinashi

She also has a preference for small, slit-like eyes, which is probably the reason she dumped Komano for Kinashi.

When the Mizusawa team won the second place at the Tokyo tournament and got to the national championship at Omi Jingu for their second year, Yukari made them t-shirts. But, at the top-right there are words 'for the second place' which make Misuzawa choose to wear their original t-shirt instead.
