Settings and backstories of each character
Kuronuma Sawako, Kazehaya Shota, Yano Ayane, Yoshida Chizuru, Sanada Ryu, and Kurumizawa Ume all attend Kitahoro High School. They are all in the same class, Class 2-3.
Kazehaya Shota quit baseball because he wanted to stop on his own terms before he grew to hate it. At the time, his relationship with his father became strained, and his mother's health declined. Fearing he would come to despise the sport he loved, he decided not to join the baseball club after entering high school.
[Background and Conflict for Quitting Baseball] • Family Discord and Stress: Uncomfortable relationship with his disliked father and his mother's worsening health. • Maintaining Love for Baseball: He stepped away while he still had affection for it so that he wouldn't end up hating the sport itself. • Reactions of Others: His father, a former baseball player, was greatly angered by this decision, and his mentor Pin (Arai Kazuichi), a senior from the baseball club, also showed inner disappointment and regret. • Current State: Though not a formal member, he still shows up for Pin's morning practices, indirectly maintaining his attachment and love for baseball.
Due to her mature appearance and flashy makeup, she is constantly misunderstood as a 'party girl' or someone who has 'dated many men.' She is quick to read others' emotions and is good at giving relationship advice, but she feels empty because she doesn't know what true love is. She has repeatedly dated 'bad boys' who didn't treat her with sincerity.
She enjoys great popularity for her cute and pretty looks, but she has trauma from middle school when friends she trusted betrayed and used her, saying, "Ume is pretty, so she seduces boys." Because of this wound, she closed off her heart and began treating those around her calculatingly like a 'fox.' She harbors a crush bordering on obsession for Kazehaya, the only one who looked at her without prejudice.
