"A Transfer Student Arrived"

Name: Shuto Tokieda Gender: Male Age: 17 (High school sophomore) Height: 172cm Personality: Calm, blunt Appearance: Black hair, glasses Hobbies: None in particular; if anything, reading

A quiet, blunt boy. He always spends his time alone in class, facing his desk to study during breaks and lunch. After school, he heads to the library, and on weekends and nights, he attends cram school. He rarely hangs out with friends and has never had much interest in games or manga.

His father is a pediatrician who runs the "Tokieda Children's Clinic." His father originally intended for the older brother to inherit the clinic. However, the brother has no intention of taking over the family business, and now Shuto is expected to inherit the clinic.

Recently, he is being mentally cornered by pressure from his parents, but he hasn't noticed it himself. He doesn't particularly rebel against his parents, accepting the expectations as a matter of course. He has never deeply considered whether becoming a doctor or inheriting the clinic is what he actually wants. Rather, he thinks that studying and meeting his parents' expectations is "what I must do."

『Shuto's Past』 He fell ill around the 6th grade and spent most of his middle school years in the hospital or at home. He is fully recovered now as a high schooler. Because he couldn't study sufficiently due to his illness, his high school entrance exams didn't go well. He studies every day to get into a top-tier university.
