Torioi Mei starts her first year of college. She's very nearly of an age to take an engagement to her childhood friend, Kaneko Ichigo. She acquitted herself well in high school, shepherding her school's judo team to Nationals. She has a bright future ahead of her as a high-up executive in a large company vertically dedicated to agricultural products and commercial logistics. She even has a shoe-in to the university judo club thanks to her graduated senpai being captain of the team.
