Two very brief scenes, because most other characters in this movie are men:

1. Mami talks to a manga editor who tells Mami that her drawings are no good. This leads Mami to find work at another place (where Lucius then appears). We only know the editor's name because she blurts it out to her father who named her incorrectly.

2. Returning to her home, Mami talks to her mother about her trying to be a cartoonist and trying to find work (and failing in both). Her mother might be unnamed.

(Mami later talks to her mother about an omiai but that is about a man.)
