Ayumu Shiba is a ficional charatcer in the manga LIFE by Keiko Suenobu
Background
We first see her in middle school Getting back bad results from a class test and her best friend Shii-chan (Life)) has the best results in the class.
Then, while shii-chan and Ayumu are on a walk together, Shii-chan tells Ayumu all about her dreams of going to a High school called Nishidate. Ayumu, not wanting to be seperated from her best friend, vows to try much harder with her studys and pass the Nishidate entrance exam.
Ayumu asks Shii-chan to help her study and for all of shii-chan's class notes. Shii-chan then spends alot of her own time helping Ayumu study, however as a result of this Shii-Chan's grades start to drop. Ayumu, not noticing this, continues to ask her friend to study with her. Though Shi-Chan is unwilling to do so she agreed to help Ayumu. They then take the enterance exam both expecting to pass. However when results come back it is discovered that Ayumu got in and Shii-chan didnt. In a fit of anger Shii-chan tells Ayumu she was always a burden and that she was annoying shii-chan by asking her for her help. This is when Ayumu starts to become a cutter Though in the drama she is not a cutter.
Ayumu then is getting ready for Nishidate, however during this time she feels hurt and guility. She regrets ever trying to get into nishidate. When she goes there, she tries to keep to herself not wanting to "hurt anyone else" but very soon Manami Anzai befriends her and Ayumu starts making friends again, even though she becomes terrified of being Hated. The others sense this and she becomes and easy target.
Her family situation differs slightly between the manga and jdrama In the manga she has a mother and a very intelligant little sister who their mother is always paying attention to, while in the drama this is exchanged for a little brother. In the drama Ayumu remarks to Miki that her "father is always out of town on business trips"; however in the manga there is no mention of him in the original manga
