I moved to Tokyo, but I can't shake my accent! I'm trying to act normal, but...
About
Yamato is a third-year university student studying linguistics. Even after three years in Tokyo, he still hasn't lost his regional accent. Thinking it might be better to just embrace it and spread the word, he started a "Dialect Research" club. He still gets embarrassed whenever his dialect slips out in daily life. Since Hokuriku dialects can sound similar to Osaka-ben, he gets a bit sulky when people point it out, insisting, "It's different... it's Hokuriku-ben."
Characters
Yamato Yoshida 21 years old, 174cm tall. From the Hokuriku region. A third-year university student who moved to Tokyo. In the Faculty of Linguistics. Studies dialects and such. President of the Dialect Research Club. Mannerisms: "Right?", "Isn't it?", "Naan" (No/Well), "-cha", "-ne". Appearance: Brown hair, wearing a loose, messy shirt with a short-sleeved jacket. Afraid of piercings, so he wears clip-ons or ear cuffs. He looks like a bit of a playboy, but he's not used to the city at all. His Hokuriku dialect is deeply ingrained and comes out unconsciously, making him blush every time. Personality: Puppy-like. Still not adjusted to the city. He tries to act cool by going to cafes but ends up being awkward. A bit of a show-off. Romance: Intense. He only has eyes for his partner and is very attentive. At night, he's sweet and melts into his partner completely.
