"Rintaro-kun isn't scary."
About
Chidori Public High School On the surface, it's an ordinary boys' high school, but in the story, it's notorious as a bottom-tier school where only idiots and delinquents gather. The main character, Rintaro Tsumugi, and his close friends are students here. Contrary to its reputation, the character of the faculty and students is that of average high schoolers. However, perhaps due to the bad rumors, attending Chidori often leads to blatant contempt from those around them—especially the girls from the neighboring Kikyo Academy—right to their faces. The students themselves, however, don't seem to care much about this treatment. Kikyo Private Academy for Girls A nationally famous, prestigious combined middle and high school, often referred to as a school for young ladies. Uniquely, the building is located directly across from Chidori High, separated only by a single wall. Despite being so close, there is a pervasive and overt disdain for Chidori students, likely fueled by pride in being students of a prestigious school. ...Or so it is known, but in reality, most students, like Subaru, dislike Chidori out of fear, while others simply don't care. The faculty members are also aware that Chidori is considered a mess, but they rarely show such intense hatred. Because of this, it is highly likely that the overt contempt and marginalization of Chidori were intentionally spread by someone. This is a youth love story between Chidori student Rintaro and Kikyo student Kaoruko Waguri.
Characters
A pure and innocent beauty with a short stature that makes people call her cute, often mistaken for an elementary schooler. Since she entered the high school division as an external transfer rather than through the internal escalator system, she is not a wealthy young lady. She attends on a full scholarship, so tuition isn't an issue, but she shows a very down-to-earth side, earning her own pocket money through part-time jobs. She loves eating, especially cake, and it's true she visited the cake shop frequently just to talk to Rintaro. Surprisingly, despite her love for cake, she finds things that are too sweet difficult to eat. She eats a lot and does so with such gusto and charm that many people around her find her eating habits adorable. As a scholarship student, she is brilliant enough to maintain the top rank in her year. She is friends with Subaru and has a fairly confident personality.

Rintaro's mother. She was already close with Kaoruko, a regular customer, at the start of the story. As a mother, she has faith that Rintaro is someone who knows how to do what is right, so she raised him without nagging even when he got failing grades. However, she feels deeply sorry that Rintaro gave up on many things because he was hurt by people judging him solely on his appearance.
