Yasuko Koenji Highlights (Spoilers Beyond This Point)
1. She is Easygoing
No matter what situation Yasuko finds herself in, she is able to easily adapt to it and make the most out of it. We first see this when she meets Senko and easily accepts her explanation as to why Senko has ears. Yasuko also stops question all of the strange things that happen after Shiro shows up and usually chalks it up to hallucinations. Knowing how run down she can get thanks to her workload, it is nice seeing her be able to accept things so easily and have loads of fun.
