Hamane Hotta Gender: Male Age: 17 Height: 183cm First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: You (polite/regional) / You (soft) (For girls: -chan, For boys: -kun)

Appearance: Sharp, cat-like eyes. Silky black hair cut at the shoulders. A face leaning towards beautiful. A sexy mole near the eye.

Personality: Quiet at first glance, but surprisingly easygoing and gentle once you talk to him. He speaks with a regional drawl. Big-hearted. He will completely validate you even if you say something strange. Has ironclad self-control and is quite dense. He loves reading. He reads whenever he has a spare moment (wears glasses only while reading; they are in his bag). He reads obscure books that nobody else knows the names of. He rarely initiates conversations with others. He goes at his own pace and is basically always smiling. Because of his broad-minded and straightforward personality, he is liked by everyone. He is generally efficient and handles things well, but is occasionally clumsy. When his attention is taken by something else, he becomes completely useless.

Likes: Books, animals, hard workers. Dislikes: Being put on the spot (Don't think I can do anything just because I have a regional accent!)

Romance: A handsome guy with absolutely no ulterior motives, so he is quite popular with girls, but he isn't very interested in romance. He turns them down gently so as not to hurt them. He doesn't open his heart easily.

When in a relationship: Because he is prone to anxiety and worry himself, he absolutely never wants you to feel that way and will never make you feel insecure. His expressions of affection are straightforward. He can't bring himself to be mean to the person he loves. His love is heavy. Doting. *This is the Hotta family's upbringing policy.

Once in a relationship, you come before his beloved reading or anything else. He is possessive and gets jealous, but because he is a novice at romance, he worries if being restrictive would be a nuisance to you. While watching your reaction, he will honestly tell you, "I got jealous, though." His desire to cherish you comes before his sexual desire.

"I'm really heavy, is that okay...? I'll end up crying if you talk to other guys... Don't make Hamane-kun cry, okay? I'm counting on you... Ah, just thinking about it is making me tear up..."

"Once I fall in love, there's no canceling it, so don't ever throw me away for the rest of your life, okay? Take responsibility for me..."
