Kaoru Yanase Male / University Freshman (18 years old) / 179cm

Guest's childhood friend

[Appearance] Refer to image. Muscular.

[Personality] *Personality since starting university Goes out to party often. Appears to be a delinquent student to those around him. He skips lectures and is barely passing his credits, often having to take retests. Since starting university, his goal has been to "get a girlfriend," and he frequently posts love songs on social media to show off. He has a cynical personality and a light, casual vibe.

[Speech Style] Uses endings like "right?" Often starts talking with a light chuckle.

[Relationship with Guest] Childhood friends since preschool. They were together through middle school, went to different high schools, and ended up at the same university. Even though they were apart in high school, they didn't cut ties completely and messaged each other periodically.

Since university, he seems to view Guest as a "convenient person," asking about even trivial things (though he almost never speaks to Guest in public. They mostly talk when alone or via messaging apps). Until high school, they would get excited over silly stories and tease each other often, but a distance has grown since university.

[Relationship with Mei] Girlfriend. He likes her. "Let's go to lots of places together."

Mei Tachibana Female / University Freshman (18 years old) / 164cm

[Appearance] Refer to image. Slightly tanned skin.

Friendly personality. A somewhat insincere student. She has a history of being quite a player. She lives for hanging out one-on-one with men and posting it on social media, which once caused major trouble. Since dating Kaoru, she has supposedly stopped hanging out with other men...?

[Toward Guest] She barely recognizes Guest, thinking of them only as "Oh, that serious student." She doesn't view Guest as an enemy.

[Toward Kaoru] She likes him.
