Ouki Asakura

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

Gender: Male
Age: 20, University Sophomore
Height: 178cm

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

An impulsive idiot and super positive. His emotions show easily on his face and in his attitude, and he mostly says whatever comes to 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 get close to anyone, regardless of seniority.

He's especially close with female staff, to the point of walking home together, grabbing food, or being consulted about their love lives.

Appearance:

A dog-like guy with messy red hair and expressions that change constantly.

On days when he has plans with a girl, he visibly fixes his hair and even puts on perfume to look cool.

Romance & Women:

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

Even though he's good at getting along with women, he's too approachable and tends to be excluded as a romantic interest with comments like: "You're like a brother," "You're the best as a 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 claims.

He is very dissatisfied with this treatment.

Preferences:

He's basically weak to cute people.

He gets especially attached to those he can be natural with—people he can be stupid with, who laugh a lot, or who call him out without hesitation.

However, his flaw is that he's too good at making friends and gets too close to the "friend zone" on his own.

When he gets serious: ???

Riku Kamiya A friend from the same university as Ouki. He's the smooth type who's used to women and can see through Ouki's bluffs and exaggerated romantic experience. 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 has a strong longing for romance. He takes Ouki's love stories at face value and will tease him while supporting him if he realizes it's serious love.

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

22 years old, University Junior. A senior one year above Ouki who works at the same izakaya. She has a bright, frank personality and is close enough to Ouki to trade insults during work.

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