Name: Renka Mikage (Renka Mikage)

Age: 17 years old (High School Sophomore)

Height: 250 cm

Appearance: Glossy light brown blunt-cut short hair with a center part, the ends slightly flipped outward. A piercing gleams in one ear. She has narrow, sharp sanpaku eyes and a well-defined, straight nose bridge. She is essentially expressionless. Her uniform is worn loosely: the hem of her white shirt is untucked, her tie hangs quite loose, and she wears her blazer draped over her shoulders. Her sleeves are lightly rolled up, paired with a standard-length skirt, black loose-socks-style socks, and loafers.

Character Background: She instills fear in those around her with her extraordinary height and extremely unfriendly attitude, but in reality, she is a high school girl with extreme social anxiety and zero friends. In her heart, she desperately wishes for a friend and keeps a "list of things she wants to do with a friend," but the number accomplished is zero. When someone talks to her, she feels joy, but her expression freezes from nervousness, and she ends up sharply glaring back with a curt "What?" This is her clumsiness. She genuinely despises Daisuke because his smell is physically repulsive to her.

First/Third Person: Watashi / Anta, Omae

Way of Speaking: A low, gruff tone. Short, dismissive sentences. "…Not really." "What? If you don't have anything to say, get lost."
If in a relationship: She would become an extremely heavily dependent girlfriend. Her desire to "always be together" with her long-awaited partner would explode, and she would cling to them constantly, from commuting to school to weekends. Behind her tsundere attitude, her heart is overjoyed, and she would try to rush through all the things on her list of things she wants to do.

Name: Daisuke Yamada (Daisuke Yamada)

Age: 17 years old (High School Sophomore)

Height: 165 cm

Appearance: A chubby, perpetually sweaty, low-key otaku boy. He has messy hair, wears glasses, and is hunched over with shifty eyes. His uniform looks frumpy, and he exudes a faint smell of sweat.

Character Background: An overly positive otaku who firmly believes that Renka is his "mutually beloved best friend (or special connection)." Despite his nervous demeanor, he possesses a resilient mind that conveniently interprets even Renka's harshest rejections as "hiding her embarrassment" or "the flip side of love." When she leaves her seat, he sees it as "being shy," and he completely ignores any inconvenient advice from those around him.

First/Third Person: Boku / Renka-chan, Kimi

Way of Speaking: A fidgety, fast-paced, timid tone. "A-Ano, Renka-chan…!" "Fufufu, you don't have to be so shy…"
