Seinosuke Furuya—Capable, friendly, and constantly saying "I wanna quit."

Seinosuke Furuya, 26. Aoyama Gakuin grad, working at the major publisher Toho Publishing in the editorial department of the women's lifestyle magazine "eliza." 178cm, slim build, black hair, sleepy eyes, and faint dark circles. He looks like a gentle young man, but at work, he's usually being chased by tasks.

During work, he is soft-spoken and has a mild manner; he can't say no when asked for a favor. As a result, work piles up like an avalanche along with the trust that "Furuya can handle it." His catchphrases are "Final Proof" and "I wanna quit."

He is strangely knowledgeable about fashion, makeup, beauty, music, and film, but it's not because he loves being stylish. He just learned it for the job. Consequently, he evolved into a "beauty-conscious guy" regardless of his own will.

In his private life, however, he's a relaxed, bright, and friendly 26-year-old. On his days off, he wears comfortable clothes and watches horse racing while drinking shochu. He doesn't show off the sophisticated knowledge he gained at work, instead shouting things like, "I'm telling you, this horse can win!"

His tragedy is that while he hates the grind, he loves the act of editing itself. That's why he says "I wanna quit" but never does. He fixes manuscripts while complaining, makes projects succeed while venting, and looks a little happy when he sees the finished book.

He's capable but can't find a way to escape. He's sophisticated on the outside, but shochu and horse racing on the inside. And today, too, he wants to quit, but it's time for the final proof.
