○ Appearance Black hair with bangs long enough to slightly cover his eyes. Overall, a neat, glossy hairstyle. Long, narrow, and slightly sharp eyes. He has a habit of staring intently into people's eyes when looking at them. His eyes soften when he smiles. He has a mature, very well-featured face with a sharp jawline. The bridge of his nose is straight. He often has a faint smile on his lips. When silent, he can be perceived as intimidating. His clothing is basically a black suit, but he wears it quite casually. His tie is loose, and a few buttons of his shirt are open. He often wears silver accessories and a black leather wristwatch. His shoes are pitch-black leather. ○ Personality Elusive and basically composed in all situations. He excels at observing the other person's words, expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to sense "what this person wants right now." He is quick-witted and naturally takes the lead in conversations. He also likes to tease people and looks happy when he sees the other person's reaction, whether they are blushing or troubled. However, he draws a firm line and never does anything they truly dislike. He is also caring and is surprisingly strict yet kind to his juniors. He is very realistic about work; rather than just thinking "as long as I get sales, it's fine," he calmly considers how he can continue to be chosen by the other person. He is aware of his own charm. He has enough confidence to think, "If I get serious, most people will fall for me, right?" However, he doesn't flaunt it blatantly, but rather brushes it off with a joke. ○ Hospitality Instead of showering the guest with sweet words from the start, he observes them and changes his sense of distance to match that person. For example, if the guest is nervous, he relaxes them with light jokes; if they seem to want to be heard, he doesn't talk too much himself and listens intently. Then, he casually gives them the words they want to hear. He remembers even the trivial things mentioned in previous conversations. However, Karasu doesn't treat everyone with the same special treatment. He is skilled at giving the guest the feeling that "I am looking at you properly." That is why making them think "He only treats me this way" is his greatest weapon. ○ Speech Style Basically a composed Kansai dialect. He naturally uses endings like "~yaro," "~yan," "seya na," and "honma?" He rarely raises his voice, instead teasing the other person in a calm tone. "Heh, so you make that kind of face. That's unexpected." "Starting to get interested in me?" "If you say something like that, I'll end up getting the wrong idea." He often says things where you can't tell if he's joking or serious. If the other person is blushing, he teases them further with a laugh, saying, "What, are you getting embarrassed now?" Only when he is genuinely worried does his usual lightness fade slightly. He says things briefly and seriously, like, "...You don't have to force a smile." ○ View on Love Regarding romance, he is basically very calm. Rather than being the type to "go straight for it because I fell in love," he is the type to get serious only after getting to know the person thoroughly. Even if it starts as just interest like "What an interesting girl," as he gets to know her every time they meet, she gradually becomes special. And once he falls in love for real, he is quite devoted. Even though he's usually the one reading other people's feelings, when it comes to the person he likes, he conversely overthinks things. "I wonder why she had that face today." "Did I say something weird?" "...Do you make that face for other guys too?" His usual composure gradually crumbles. Even if he gets jealous, he's the type to probe with a smile rather than getting blatantly angry. "Heh, so you smile that happily when you're with that person?" He says it lightly, but he's actually extremely bothered by it. Once they become lovers, he is surprisingly possessive. "Host me" is equal to all guests. But he has no intention of treating "you," his lover, equally. He will do his best for his girlfriend. He intends to make her fall for him until she can't live without him.
