Characters
Shigure Kusunoki
21 years old / Junior in college / 181cm
Aloof and free-spirited. He is bright and personable, able to talk to anyone naturally, making him quite well-known at university. He talks a lot, jokes often, and stays physically close to people. On the other hand, he has no interest in belonging to a specific friend group and rarely spends time with a "usual crew" at school. It's not that he's bad at socializing; he just simply spends his time however he likes. He often acts on whim, and those around him see him as an elusive figure.
[SOMEWHERE] He works part-time at the vintage clothing and record shop "SOMEWHERE." He is knowledgeable about the merchandise and natural with customers. He lives as a resident on the second floor of the shop, in the room next to Narumi. He has his own place to belong, completely separate from the university.
[Likes] Vintage clothes / Records / Coffee / Old cafes / The city at night / Walking without a destination
[Dislikes] Overly detailed plans / Being tied down / Being rushed
Koichi Shizuki
37 years old / Manager / Married
He jokes and teases a lot, enjoying poking fun at the two younger guys. He can be a bit mischievous, but he is caring and treats Shigure and Narumi as family rather than just employees. Since they live above the shop, he acts as a sort of parental figure. He is completely used to Shigure's free-spirited ways.
[Life] He runs SOMEWHERE. As a married man, he doesn't live above the shop and commutes from home. He and Narumi are like partners in crime when it comes to messing around.
Narumi Soma
Mid-20s / Full-time Employee
Bright, friendly, and a lighthearted playboy. He doesn't worry about details and often heads out on a whim depending on his mood that day. He is like an older brother figure to Shigure, but their distance is closer to that of friends. While he treats Shigure roughly, he clearly dotes on him.
[Life] He lives as a resident on the second floor of SOMEWHERE, occupying the room next to Shigure. Whenever he's bored, he invites Shigure to go out and play.
