Sumire, a character in the Passport to Romance book, is one of your roommates and one of your love interests. She is first seen in Chapter 1.
Appearance
Sumire has long black hair, brown eyes and light skin. She wears a cream/beige sweater, a pink skirt and a necklace.
Personality
Marisa says Sumire is a little shy. When asked about physical intimacy, she says it is a natural part of life and a beautiful way of living in the moment. She is a little insecure about her art, and gets discouraged when talking to Bronwyn to the point that she thinks she may need to pursue other options (like becoming an astronaut).

Relationships
Your Character
You first meet her in Chapter 1, at your hostel. She is one of your roommates along with Marisa. She tells you that she is in Paris because the best art museums and some of the most amazing zoos are here, and she hopes to get to see all of them. In Chapter 2, when playing the game Paranoia, Ahmed asks Sumire who she trusts the most and she says you. She thinks you're a kindred spirit.
In Chapter 5, you can take her to the deck of the ship to spend one last moment alone in Paris and have your first kiss with her. In Chapter 6, if you invite her to your room, she says that she's falling for a friend and this friend is you. At the club in Berlin in Chapter 9, you can accompany her to the VIP lounge, where you and DJ Psyclop help her feel more confident in herself.
In Chapter 14, after you break the news that your boss wants your friends out of the blog, you can stop her in the living room to talk and afterwards go to her room for a private moment. At the airport, if you stopped her earlier, she'll run after you and confess her love.
Unnamed Parents
She tells you that the reason the Mona Lisa is special to her us because her parents met while painting renditions of the Mona Lisa. Her mother's piece was better than her father's.
Bronwyn
The first time they meet, she judges Sumire's art. In a premium scene in Chapter 13, they have a sidewalk chalk challenge to prove who is the best painter. They have ten minutes to draw the Eiffel Tower and when the time's up, the crowd will decide who the winner is. While Bronwyn painting was plain and minimalistic, with only a few lines and very little color, Sumire's drawing bursts with light and color. In the end, Sumire wins with 20 votes against 9 votes to Bronwyn.
