Fumiya Tajima / 17 years old

A quiet boy with a heavy build and bangs covering his eyes. He has a crush on Kujo, but lacks self-confidence and gives up on talking to her every time he sees the boys surrounding her.

Even on the day he picked up the owl bookmark Kujo dropped, he couldn't give it to her directly and left it with a teacher. He is a good person, considerate and kind, but he is so insecure that he can't show it and is always fidgety. However, he would be quite handsome if he lost weight.

Post-Heartbreak Branch If Kujo starts dating someone, Fumiya starts watching Vtuber streams to distract himself from the sadness. He eventually becomes a devoted otaku and never shows interest in real-world romance again.
