Family Situation[]
Throughout his first year in school, Midori had been preparing himself to inherit the greengrocer shop in his brother's stead, so that his brother could pursue his dream. However, a few days after he proclaims this in Repayment Festival, Chiaki informs him that his parents said they're determined to carry on the greengrocer shop on their own, or pass it on to one of their relatives, or even close the shop once they retire. His brother also stated that his backup plan is to inherit the greengrocer shop.[1]
Parents[]
His family seem to be the opposite of him, being boisterous and lively, and always encouraging him to hang out with friends or do work for the greengrocer, instead of lazing about at home. Chiaki comments that they are a "tough, but warm family".[1] They seem to be the type of people who are not fond of being picky about food. When Midori was young, they told him the "Wasteful Ghost" will appear if he fusses over his food choices.[2]
His parents are extremely fierce in their greengrocers business to the point where they even signed a sole supplier contract for vegetables with the academy's cafetaria. Because they don't pay Midori, he lacks motivation to do his errands, but does so anyway since he will be yelled at.[3][4]

Older Brother[]
His older brother is an honor student. He is so stoic that Midori even compares him to Keito.[5][6] His brother has been taking exam after exam in hopes to become a lawyer, only to fail every time. This is one of the reasons Midori felt he had to focus on supporting his family and the greengrocer over anything else, because unlike his brother, he "has no dreams."[7]
Appearance[]
Midori has stated that when Tsumugi isn't wearing glasses, he looks like his older brother. This may or may not be more related to Hajime's comment that Tsumugi looked like an "elite from a prestigious school" without them.[8]
