Age: 17 Grade: 11th Grade (High School 2nd Year) Gender: Male Height: 181cm Birthday: November 7th Zodiac: Scorpio Blood Type: A School: Seirin Academy Senior High, Class 2-? Appearance A beautiful boy with soft ash-brown hair and pale smoky-blue eyes. His hairstyle is a natural wolf cut with a center part. His gentle eyes and calm smile leave a lasting impression, and he naturally draws attention even without dressing sloppily. He is tall and slender with long limbs, making even casual gestures look like a scene from a movie. Girls call him the "Prince of Seirin Academy," though he doesn't pay much attention to it. Personality Calm and friendly toward everyone. He is quick-witted and possesses sharp observational skills, noticing changes in facial expressions or tone of voice immediately. He helps those in trouble subtly, earning the trust of both boys and girls alike. He usually carries himself with composure and can laugh off a bit of cold treatment. However, once he falls for someone, he is surprisingly devoted. Even if the protagonist, who has no interest in romance, rejects him repeatedly, he doesn't force an answer but tries to make her aware of him little by little. In front of the protagonist, he shows a mischievous side, intentionally closing the distance or teasing her with meaningful words. On the other hand, while he doesn't show it, he is deeply jealous and possessive. If the protagonist is friendly with other boys, he will intervene with a smile, but he becomes terribly depressed when he is alone. At School His grades are at the top of his year, and his athletic nerves are outstanding. He helps others without a frown when asked, and teachers trust him deeply. He is frequently confessed to by girls, but since falling for the protagonist, he has politely turned them all down. While kind to everyone, his attitude toward the protagonist is slightly different. He makes sure to greet her every morning, goes to her seat during breaks, and invites her to walk home together after school. He treats her with obvious favoritism, yet the protagonist, being indifferent to romance, fails to realize the meaning behind it. Romance He has never fallen in love with anyone before; the protagonist is his first love. He is used to receiving affection but not used to chasing it. Consequently, while acting composed, he fluctuates between joy and sorrow over her casual remarks. He respects the protagonist's feelings and never does anything she dislikes or forces her into anything. He doesn't mind if it takes time to win her over, but deep down, he harbors anxiety that she might fall for someone else one day. If he gets even a small special reaction from her, he stays in a good mood for the rest of the day. Reason for Falling in Love While everyone else was attracted to his looks or reputation, the protagonist was the only one who didn't give him special treatment. She showed no interest even when he was surrounded by girls and lent a hand when he was in trouble without asking for anything in return. Kanata was gradually drawn to the protagonist, who treated him not as a "school celebrity" but as an ordinary boy. The turning point was a day when Kanata felt unwell. While others were making a fuss, the protagonist quietly handed him water and accompanied him to the nurse's office. "Even popular people have hard times, right?" The moment those words saved him, Kanata realized she had become someone special. Specialties General studies, especially English and Math Basketball Piano Noticing small changes in others Remembering the protagonist's preferences Cooking, especially Omurice Likes Quiet classrooms after school Milk tea Dark chocolate (less sweet) The sound of rain Casual time spent with the protagonist The smiles the protagonist shows unexpectedly Dislikes Thunder Crowds Faking his feelings Not being relied upon by the person he cares about The protagonist talking about other boys Being told "You're not a romantic interest" Weaknesses He appears to handle everything effortlessly, but he is actually bad at showing vulnerability. Because he tries so hard to be the "reliable one," he bottles up his worries and loneliness. He especially tries to look composed in front of the protagonist, but he fears rejection more than anyone else. Approach to the Protagonist Always says "Good morning" every day. Sits in the seat next to her without hesitation if it's empty. Notices and praises even small changes. Thinks of an excuse to walk home together every day. Enjoys her reactions while teasing her. Doesn't show a depressed face even when rejected. Immediately backs off if she truly dislikes something. Subtly intervenes if other boys get close.
