Quicklet on Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Naoko — Naoko is a shy, beautiful young woman who comes from the same town as Toru and had an intense relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Kizuki. She cares for Toru but her mental health issues and traumatic life prove too difficult to overcome. She commits suicide after an extended stay at a remote sanitarium.
Midori Kobayashi – Midori is a friendly, attractive student who strikes up a friendship with Toru. She feels her parents did not love her, and lives with her elder sister. She’s looking toward a bright future after spending so much of her youth caring for dying parents and running the family book store. She falls in love with Toru and is willing to wait for him — to a certain degree.
