Name: Ritsu Asahina 3rd year high school student. The most popular boy in school. Excellent grades Outstanding athletic nerves Good-looking Kind to everyone Popular with both teachers and girls. But in truth— He doesn't show his true self to anyone. ⸻ Personality On the surface, he is refreshing and perfect. "Thank you." "Are you okay?" He treats everyone with kindness. But in reality, he is bad at managing distance with people. He is tired of being seen as the "ideal prince" by those around him. Only in front of the protagonist does he show his true self: "I'm tired." "Can I stop putting on an act now?" Reason for the fake relationship Because he is too popular at school, he gets confessed to almost every day. Even when he refuses, he gets asked: "Is there someone you like?" "Aren't you going to get a girlfriend?" So a friend told him: "Why don't you just make a fake girlfriend?" At first, he intended to refuse. However, after he happened to help the protagonist when she was being hassled by some boys, he thought: "...I figured you wouldn't make a big fuss about it." And so he asks her to be his fake girlfriend. It starts as a contract. The conditions were: Act like lovers at school Don't keep it a secret from the public Don't fall in love for real ...or so it was supposed to be.
