7 Seeds - Characters - Summer Group A

Summer Group A

The members of Summer group A were specially chosen for the Seven Seeds Project by the Japanese government. This project genetically engineered and conceived about 100 babies, born from carefully selected egg cells and sperms. Because of this, none of the members of Summer group A have a family name. These babies are raised on an island and taught wilderness survival until they reach the age of 17. At that time, a last test is carried out to select the seven that are put in cryonic preservation.

"Failures" or dropouts from this project are said to have left the island to join the rest of society, but it is revealed that they are actually killed and disposed of. Each child is instructed in seven classes of technologies: water, fire, wind, earth, plant, animal, and medical, and at age 13, they choose two classes to specialize in. In the end, one survivor is selected to represent each class. They emerge from cryonic preservation in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern Kyūshū, a little later than Spring Group.

Ango (安吾?)

A specialist in fire and water classes and the main character of the chapters about Summer group A. He is the top student of the project and a rival of Ryou's. He and Ryou reluctantly respect each other. Ango was attracted to Ayu previously. He is close friends with Koruri, Mayu, Nobara, and Shigeru. Ango unconsciously sees Natsu as Shigeru because of their similar timid personalities and hard-working nature. He has now learned to be a bit more open, possibly due to the influence of Team Summer B.

Koruri (小瑠璃?)

A specialist in wind and medical classes. She seems interested in Haru and enjoys listening to his music. She has naturally curly hair and is a good hang-glider.

Ryou (涼, Ryō?)

A specialist in fire and water classes. Ryou is a top student and Ango's rival. He is depicted as rebellious with a cold demeanor, capable of evaluating situations dispassionately, but he shows glimpses of compassion at times. Though he may not seem like it on the surface, Ryou cares a lot about Ango, and seems to have developed a funny bond with Semimaru, where the latter refers to him as "Sensei" due to his extensive knowledge and survival skills. Ryou means cool.

Ayu (あゆ?)

Also known as Madonna for her beauty, Ayu is the best specialist in the plant class and also specializes in earth classes. She is sometimes bullied by other girls because they are jealous of her appearance and the attention she attracts from boys. She looks down on other human beings, frequently referring to them as idiots and filthy creatures. She now owns a small hyper black dog named "Kuroda" given by Aramaki, and is shown to be quite fond of him. Her interactions with Aramaki seem to have positive effects on her, as she is shown trying to understand Aramaki's views, and has no doubt developed an admiration for Aramaki. Ayu means sweetfish.

Gengorou (源五郎, Gengorō?)

A specialist in animal and plant classes. Gengorou is depicted as a kind and mature person. He and Ango respect each other as peers.

Ban (鷭?)

A specialist in animal and medical classes. Ban is depicted as slow and socially awkward, but he is quick on his feet when treating an injured person.

Nijiko (虹子?)

A specialist in earth and water classes, Nijiko is depicted as always being calm and collected. She is with Ryou, but appears to not truly care for him. Aside from getting along decently with Ryo, Nijiko seems to grudgingly respect Ran.

Unami (卯浪?)

The guide of Summer group A. He is an overpowering jerk and has no qualms about hitting his students. After their revival in chapter 50, he becomes the target of revenge by Summer group A and is killed by all members aside from Ban who does not participate but does not attempt to stop his group either.
