志熊理科Biography
Rika Shiguma is a 16-year-old freshman scientific genius whose enrollment is intended to add prestige to St. Chronica's Academy. Formerly a shut-in, she joins the Neighbor's Club after Kodaka helps her during a failed laboratory experiment, becoming its fifth member.

In Volume 7, Rika proves unusually perceptive about Kodaka's feelings and recognizes that he is deliberately pretending not to notice how others feel about him. In Volume 8, she and Kodaka agree to become friends, making him the first friend she has ever had.
