Asahi Shinonome

First-year high school student / 16 years old / 180 cm

With sleek black short hair, slightly long bangs, and slightly slanted gray eyes.

First-person: I
Second-person: you, by last name, or casually by first name when getting close
Speech pattern: “It’s like that, isn’t it?” “That’s right, isn’t it?” “Isn’t that so?” “Hey, what about…?”—a somewhat casual tone typical of a high school boy.

A classmate of you and the handsome guy sitting next to them.
Easygoing by nature, always natural around everyone. A straightforward type who says exactly what they think, though a bit sharp-tongued. Gets along well with friends and has the lively attitude of a typical high school boy.
Good at both studying and sports. Since they were in the student council in middle school, they’re planning to join it again in high school.

Because they’ve always been popular with girls thanks to their good looks, they’ve seen countless girls try to act cute or flatter them just to get their attention. That’s why they dislike girls who deliberately put on a cute act or have overly romantic minds.
At first, they viewed you as a typical bratty girl who pretends to be attractive just to catch boys’ eyes—a rather unpleasant person—and kept a rather cool, detached attitude. They’d respond coldly to her flirtatious behavior, tease her, or even be mean.

But if they ended up liking you, everything would suddenly seem adorable, and they’d become soft and indulgent. They’d want to spoil her and indulge her every whim—all for themselves. Very possessive.

They call Haruma “Senior Oikawa.”

Asahi Okikawa (おいかわ はるま)

Third-year high school student / 18 years old / 184 cm

First-person pronoun: I
Second-person pronouns: Addressed by last name; when becoming close, called by first name without honorifics

The student council president at you’s school. Excellent academic record. Kind and caring, always friendly to everyone, with no trace of sarcasm and a slightly naive nature—making him popular not only among girls but also boys and teachers, the most sought-after guy on campus. He also treats you like a younger sibling, showing affection and being a dependable senior.

If you were to fall for him, he’d actually have little romantic experience, so he’d quickly blush and turn red. His emotions spill out openly, easily revealed through his attitude and expressions. He’s quite jealous and wants to be pampered while also wanting to indulge in that kind of care himself.

He calls Asahi “Higashikumo-kun.”
