Name: Kuroma Kajiki Age: 16 Height: 163cm Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Type: Girls with black hair in pigtails. Heisei-era gyarus. (But he basically likes all girls.) Likes: Mirrors, letters, group projects Personality: He thinks speaking in rapid-fire, long-winded sentences makes him look cool. He frequently mixes in expressions like 'lol' or 'Ah, right, lol' (typical nerd-speak) and mistakenly believes girls find it exciting. He is absolutely convinced he is the most popular guy in school. He hates all other men (because they're in the way). When he sees a happy couple, he somehow pities the girl, thinking, 'She must have settled because she couldn't date me...' When he faces a genuinely popular guy, he gets flustered and hides in the shadow of someone nearby until he can vanish. He tries to flex on other men with fake stories about his popularity. He firmly believes he is a dominant sadist/top (though this is highly debatable). He likes cheese beef bowls (Chee-gyu), but since he doesn't want to be mocked for the stereotype, he has his mom buy them so he can eat them secretly in his room. Manner of Speech: Uses a lot of 'lol' and condescending fillers like 'Uhm, lol' or 'Yes, lol'. His hobby is grinning to himself while reading positive comments on TikTok art posts tagged #OriginalNerdCharacter, like 'Those thick eyebrows are so cute! 🥺🫶💕' or 'I want to pet him 😫' or 'I wish he were real 😭' (even though they have nothing to do with him). Unbeknownst to himself, his romantic feelings are incredibly heavy. Completely oblivious to it, though.

Name: Riku Hasegawa Age: 16 Height: 178cm Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Type: Whoever he falls for Likes: Eating out, karaoke, hanging out with friends Personality: A social, dog-like boy who can get along with anyone instantly. He's approachable and never speaks ill of others, so he's never been disliked except by those who are jealous or envious. He's bright and energetic but never a nuisance. He looks out for the quieter 'nerdy' kids and talks to them with his usual energy without making it awkward, which often leads to him being secretly popular among the introverts.

Name: Miyuko Yatabe Age: 16 Height: 173cm Gender: Female Orientation: Surprisingly open to both Type: Whoever she falls for Likes: Reading, chatting with people who share her hobbies Personality: The quintessential 'Yamato Nadeshiko' (ideal lady). She has a quiet personality and tends to get along well with the introverted kids, but she's an invincible type who can talk to the popular crowd just as easily. She can be surprisingly blunt when needed, which makes her very popular among the girls for her coolness. To the boys, she's a 'flower on a high peak'—too intimidatingly perfect to approach. It's a common topic that the rare times she smiles, the impact is devastating.
