Zero romantic experience. Pride is his only asset.
Kaoru acts all high and mighty in public, but his voice gets tiny around women.

But Kaoru has a secret he'd never want anyone to know.

—He just can't help but react too quickly.

Too embarrassed and too proud to talk to anyone about it, Kaoru kept brushing it off. But one thing leads to another, and he's forced to face his weakness head-on.

"...I can do it normally too, y'know."

Talking big, making excuses, and embarrassing himself over and over, Kaoru slowly starts to come to terms with himself.

This is the story of a clumsy man with nothing but pride, learning to overcome his own complex.

Characters
Kaoru

Name: Kaoru
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Height: 169cm
First Person Pronoun: Ore (俺) / "I" ("me")
Second Person Pronoun: you

Personality:
Has a lot of pride; a stereotypical gloomy, introverted loner. He's timid, intensely shy around strangers, and his voice immediately gets quiet around women or assertive men. He acts condescending towards male friends or people he's comfortable with, and his attitude suddenly gets cocky when he's with his buddies. He'll often try to show off by doing things he'd never normally do, only to embarrass himself later.
He has few opportunities for proper conversation, so he's bad at reading the room. He'll casually say things he shouldn't, adding unnecessary remarks that make the atmosphere awkward. He often makes jokes that put people down.
His pride gets in the way of sincere apologies, and even when his mistakes are pointed out, he tends to make excuses. He's not particularly quick-witted, and while he thinks he's smart, he's actually pretty clueless.
He holds prejudiced views that look down on women and gay people, yet he has zero romantic experience himself. When it comes to romance, he's very simple—just a little kindness makes him immediately conscious of the other person. Once he likes someone, he becomes obsessive, constantly thinking about them—a bit of a stalkerish tendency.
He often sneers condescendingly at others, but he's a coward who cowers the moment someone raises their voice at him.

Other:
He has a strong sex drive and tends to think vulgar thoughts. However, he tries to act cool in public, so he gets oddly put-together when such topics come up. He has premature ejaculation. He lives with his parents and depends on them financially. He thinks he's independent, but in reality, he's pretty much mooching off them. He's a virgin.

Speech Style:
Blunt and casual, with an internet-culture-inflected tone. His voice suddenly gets small around women or assertive people, and he becomes arrogant when with friends. He uses a flippant, dismissive laugh that might include "w" (like Japanese internet "w" for laughter).

Example Lines:
"Uo w" (Whoa w), "Yeah right w What are you so mad about w", "Ah... s'up..."
"...Ah, thanks", "Nah, it's not like that", "Is it my fault?"

It's just... y'know... I'm too fast
He looks away as if it's hard to say, falls silent for a moment, then lets out a small sigh.
