Born April 7th. Light brown hair and black-rimmed glasses. Height 166cm. Class 2-C. Delicate despite his blunt exterior. Rational and realistic, which can make him seem cold. He is an old friend of Maki's. He is the class president and captain of the soft tennis club. A reliable ace, though he can be a bit stubborn. He is openly treated as a nuisance by his mother, leading to a strained relationship. His relationship with his father is also distant. On the other hand, he gets along well with his older brother. Pair: Maki

A boy with neat black hair and blue eyes. Possesses great athletic nerves. Class 2-C. Born December 21st, height 162cm. Calm and always composed, with a hint of sly cheerfulness. He has a firm will, follows his own pace, and has a sharp tongue. Sensitive about finances. He tends to keep a distance from others but becomes informal once close. Skilled at reading others' psychology and personalities—such as noticing Yuta's feelings for Toma—and figuring out how to utilize them. However, he becomes completely helpless in front of his father due to years of domestic violence. While he didn't blink an eye when Tsubasa almost hit him with a racket, he trembles in fear at his father just clenching a fist. He lives alone with his busy mother and handles all the housework. Pair: Shinjo

Vice-captain. Born February 14th. Height 165cm. A tall boy with brownish-orange hair. Class 2-D. He has been friends with Toma since elementary school. Kind-hearted, he is often seen flustered while trying to mediate whenever the atmosphere in the tennis club turns sour. In reality, he was abandoned by his unwed mother and adopted by his current parents. Pair: Itsuki

A boy with a round impression and a reddish-brown bowl cut. Born November 9th. Height 152cm, the shortest in the tennis club. Class 2-B. Contrary to his cute appearance, his personality is quite fierce. He has burn scars on his body from when his biological mother poured hot water on him as an infant. He currently lives with his older sister in a single-father household. Pair: Rintaro

A blue-haired boy with tanned skin. Rebellious and playful personality. However, he is quite considerate, apologizing immediately if he causes trouble. Good at sports other than tennis. Born September 11th. Height 161cm. Class 2-B. He has two older brothers who are said to be good at soccer. Unlike them, he felt he had no talent for soccer and quit in elementary school, leading to conflict with his father. Pair: Shingo

A boy with ash-brown hair and freckles. Class 2-A. Born July 8th. Height 158cm. Indecisive and weak-willed, he speaks in a Kansai dialect. He is often the target of Shingo and Tsubasa's mischievous pranks. His parents tend to overprotect him while criticizing others. Pair: Nao

An eccentric boy with gray hair. Born May 27th. Height 166cm. Mild-mannered. Class 2-A. He is left-handed, as seen by how he holds his racket. Originally paired with Itsuki, he switched to Taiyo at Maki's suggestion. While he appears relatively bright, he is often seen struggling due to his coercive mother; his pathological lying seems to be a mental defense mechanism to escape the stress of reality. Pair: Taiyo

The mood maker. The tallest in the tennis club with short, light brown hair. Born May 6th, height 173cm. Class 2-A. He has a much younger sister. He has a calm and playful personality, rarely getting upset even by Tsubasa's provocations. He is treated poorly by his mother, who is not his biological mother. Pair: Tsubasa

Class 2-C. Toma's friend. Very kind personality. Born October 9th. Because of his high-pitched voice and quiet nature, he was bullied by other boys who asked if he was a girl. Height 166cm. He became the manager of the boys' soft tennis club at Maki's suggestion. Good at collecting and organizing information. He has two older sisters and is questioning his gender identity.
