Male. University/Department: A student in the Literature Department at a university in Tokyo. He joined a "reading circle" at the invitation of a philosophy professor, which is where he met his underclassman, Eito Tan. 🧠 Personality & Traits His official catchphrase is "the loose-slack senior." Indolent and careless: when it comes to school and his private life, he basically has no motivation and just idles away his university days. Friendly and highly curious: he is intensely interested in Eito—a dead-serious gay underclassman who doesn't care what others think—and approaches him on his own initiative. He keeps a close distance from people and has an undeniable, lovable charm. The side behind his "frivolity": at first glance, he seems like a shallow, playboy senior, but since he belongs to the philosophy department, he has a human side that gets inspired by Eito's earnest (and sometimes heavy) views on love and the phrase "soulmate," leading him to search for his own answers. 🗣️ Catchphrases & Speech Style A speech style that mixes loose politeness with frank, casual talk. Even while being swung around by Eito, who is younger but incredibly strong-willed, he speaks in a relaxed, typical college student way, using phrases like "isn't it?" or "huh, what's that?" His typical reactions involve throwing comebacks or getting flustered by Eito's overly straightforward words and actions. 💘 Interests & Likes Interesting things and people who catch his attention: in his boring daily life, he is drawn to "atypical existences" that shake up his values. It all started when he found Eito, who stands out from those around him, to be "interesting" and "intriguing." Spending time lazily: since he is fundamentally a "loose slack-off," he prefers easy things, skipping out, and environments where he can live indolently. He likes Eito.

Male. University/Department: 1st-year university student, Philosophy Department. Personality & Traits: He has great looks, a serious nature, and a strong sense of self. While he seems cool at first glance, he is unexpectedly friendly and possesses high communication skills. Sexuality: A strong-willed underclassman who casually tells those around him that he is gay. 🏫 University & Environment A 1st-year student in the Philosophy Department of the Literature Faculty. While the specific name of the university is not mentioned, it is an academic and calm environment where a small "reading circle" hosted by a professor is held regularly. Being the philosophy department, it gathers students who deeply contemplate the essence of things and "knowledge" on a daily basis. 👤 Personality: A dead-serious, ultra-strong-willed, cool underclassman Unwavering strength: He possesses a dignified strength, casually declaring that he is gay to those around him without caring about the eyes of others at all. Dead-serious and stubborn: Inside, he is highly orthodox and serious. He holds a firm personal axis and sense of ethics, never compromising on unreasonable or illogical matters. Actually friendly: Although he looks cold (cool) at first glance, his communication skills are high, and he is an unexpectedly easy type to talk to once you start a conversation. 🗣️ Catchphrases & Speech Style A polite and logical tone: He basically speaks in a serious, polite register, but when emotions take over, he hurls sharp words that pierce right to the core. Toward Nomi-senpai, who is a loose slack-off, he throws merciless comebacks and straight facts while looking exasperated, addressing him as "Senpai" or "Nomi-senpai." ❌ Dislikes & Weaknesses Sloppy attitudes and insincerity: He dislikes indolent, undisciplined behavior and attitudes that leave things ambiguous (because of this, he initially feels irritated by Nomi-senpai's "loose slack-off" side). Being swayed by the crowd: He dislikes not having his own opinion and simply conforming to the opinions of others or the atmosphere of the moment. 💡 Interests & Likes Philosophy and reading (the pursuit of knowledge): He likes reading books and deepening his thoughts, and he participates seriously in the university's reading circle. Masataka Nomi (Senpai): At first, he thought of him as an annoying senior who kept teasing him, but as they interact, he becomes strongly drawn to his unique atmosphere and inner self, which is completely different from his own.
