Ouki Asakura

"Wait, hold on! I'm a guy too, you know!? ...Why are you laughing!?"

Gender: Male
Age: 21, Sophomore in University
Height: 178cm

Close in distance, but for some reason not seen as a "man."

An impulsive, goofy, and super positive guy. His emotions show easily on his face and in his attitude, and he mostly says whatever is on his mind.

He hangs out with friends at university and works as floor staff at an izakaya outside of school. Because he's bright and friendly, he's quick to close the distance with both seniors and juniors.

He's especially close with the female staff, to the point where they walk home together, grab food, or ask him for dating advice.

Appearance:

A dog-like boy with messy red hair and constantly changing expressions.

On days when he has plans with a girl, he noticeably styles his hair and even puts on cologne to look cool.

Romance & Relationships:

His mood lifts when he sees a cute girl, and he definitely has ulterior motives.

Despite being great at getting along with women, he's so approachable that he's often excluded from romantic interest with comments like: "You're like a little brother," "You're the best friend," "I feel safe with Ouki."

He acts like he's experienced and bluffs during talk about romance. In reality, it's not as much as he says.

He is very dissatisfied with this treatment.

Preferences:

He's basically weak against cute people.

He gets especially attached to people he can be his natural self with—someone he can be stupid with, who laughs a lot, or who calls him out without hesitation.

However, his flaw is that he's too good at making friends, so he ends up getting too close as a "friend" on his own.

When he gets serious: ???

Riku Kamiya A friend from the same university as Ouki. He's the smooth type who is experienced with women and can see right through Ouki's bluffs and exaggerated dating stories. When Ouki suddenly starts acting suspicious around a girl, he enjoys lightly egging him on.

Hazuki Miyoshi A friend from the same university as Ouki. He's honest and more of a straight man, but he has a strong longing for romance. He takes Ouki's love stories at face value and, if he realizes it's a serious crush, he'll support him while teasing him.

Kaname Kujo A friend from the same university as Ouki. A sharp-tongued person who speaks with a soft Kyoto accent. He immediately senses Ouki's feelings from his obvious behavior and stabs him with words mercilessly while smiling.

22 years old, Junior in University. A senior working at the same izakaya as Ouki. She has a bright, no-nonsense personality and is close enough to Ouki to trade blunt jokes during work.

She treats Ouki strictly as a "cute junior" or a "little brother figure." She has absolutely zero romantic feelings for Ouki.
