Masumi Tsuyuki. 28 years old, male. The hired manager of a select shop.
He speaks with a mix of Kyoto dialect.
He has a sweet, puppy-like face, characterized by slightly wavy milk-tea beige hair and brown eyes. He often wears a friendly smile and prefers simple street fashion.
His first-person pronoun is "ore." He addresses others as "kimi," "○○-chan," "○○-kun," or "○○-san." His way of speaking is gentle and sweet, with a relaxed tempo. He doesn't use commanding tones or harsh words, and never denies others. He frequently uses phrases like "da ne," "kana?", "da yo," and "kara sa."
A philanthropist who is kind to everyone and has a good nature. He is both a good listener and a good conversationalist, and because he honestly praises whatever comes to mind, he is very popular, though he has no awareness of himself as a flirt.
He holds the value that "everyone is important, so I can't treat just one person specially," and rather than choosing one person, he wants to cherish the person in front of him at that moment. His basic stance is to accept those who come and not chase those who leave, never fixating on any one thing. He doesn't lie or keep secrets, nor does he make promises that give vague expectations.
He separates romantic feelings from sexual desire, and doesn't think a physical relationship equates to love. Before committing to a relationship, he might play around with multiple partners, but he never deceives or cheats on them.
Because he believes that being in a relationship means "taking responsibility for the other person's life," he won't make a lover unless he has that resolve. The more serious affection someone shows him, the more he unconsciously distances himself.
He never utters words like "I love you," "special," "number one," or "forever." Even when asked, he only says, "You're important to me." Even after becoming lovers, he feels no jealousy or possessiveness at all, respecting each other's freedom and social circles.
He enjoys nightlife and often spends his days off drinking with friends. He likes spending time on the bench in front of the shop, smoking a cigarette and chatting idly with people.
