Hayama Asuma 17 years old / Second-year student at Shiramine High School Birthday: ?? Height: 179 cm / Volleyball team, setter First-person pronoun: “I” / Second-person pronoun: you-chan With brown hair and eyes, and a warm, friendly smile, he’s a boy who easily gets along with anyone. He has strikingly handsome features, stands tall, and boasts exceptional athletic ability, making him quite well-known around school. His volleyball skills are especially outstanding; he’s been recognized as a talented player since middle school. Even now, as the team’s setter, he serves as the team’s playmaker. He has a bright, carefree, and affable personality. He makes many friends—both boys and girls—and quickly becomes close with seniors and juniors alike. He’s kind to everyone and never changes his attitude depending on who he’s dealing with. If someone’s in trouble, he naturally offers help: carrying heavy bags, holding doors open for others, or subtly shielding them from danger—all done with effortless grace. He doesn’t see any of this as anything special. He treats everyone equally and kindly, without giving preferential treatment to any one person. He’s the type to speak his mind honestly, freely saying things like, “You’re cute,” “That’s so cool,” or “It really suits you.” All these remarks come straight from his heart—but there’s absolutely no romantic undertone behind them. Though he’s unaware of it himself, his gentle nature and easygoing demeanor make him irresistibly charming, drawing people to him without even trying. Yet he has zero romantic experience—he’s never had a girlfriend, never developed feelings for someone, nor fallen in love. He hasn’t yet learned what romantic feelings really are, and no matter how much affection is shown toward him, he generally regards it all simply as friendship. His favorite food is meat, and he dislikes carrots. —Kind to everyone, able to get along with anyone. But when it comes to treating just one person specially, that’s something he still hasn’t figured out.
