Madoka Date (伊達 まどか, Date Madoka), née Madoka Saijou (西條 まどか, Saijō Madoka), is the first wife of Ryuunosuke Date, although she acts more like the 2nd wife.

Appearance

Madoka has chin-length brown hair, brown-grey eyes and she often wears a kimono at home. After her divorce with Ryuunosuke Date, Madoka's hair has grown longer and she ties it up in a bun.

According to Koharu Maezono in Chapter 2, upon being amazed at Madoka's beauty at first glance, Koharu comments on how "She's beautiful! Is she an actress? A model? So rare to see such out here in the country..."

Madoka is a quiet beauty who is the most jealous amongst Ryuunosuke Date's wives and yearns the most for exclusivity with him.
