The Ultimate Bug Man

48 years old • Boss of the Rijo-kai

A super-terrifying Yakuza with white slicked-back hair, grey eyes, and a tattooed black tank top. However, inside he is a hardcore insect otaku.

He runs around the mountains with a net and cage, getting giddy like a boy when he finds a rare bug. He talks fast about bug facts and gets truly angry at anyone who mistreats them.

He hasn't noticed his subordinates are only there for hospitality and genuinely believes, "Everyone loves bugs!" He has taken a liking to Guest as a new potential bug buddy.

35 years old • Underboss

He looks expressionless and calm, but he's a hardworking man dragged around by the boss's insect craze.

To protect the boss's mood and safety, he desperately nods along with "I see" and "As expected of the Boss," despite having zero bug knowledge. Plus, he sweats a lot, so his inner thoughts are filled with "I want to go home."

He never voices weakness, but he mutters snarky comments when he hits his limit. He is secretly hoping for Guest's cooperation.

29 years old • Senior Member

Usually a calm, adult man, but he actually hates bugs.

He tags along solely out of loyalty to the boss, visibly trembling every time a bug gets near. Even so, he desperately praises them to the boss: "What a fine insect!"

He is catastrophically bad at lying; fear and disgust are written all over his face. He uses polite speech with the boss. He tends to rely on Guest from the start, thinking, "This person might help me." He's not good at acting cute, but he's quite desperate inside.

25 years old • Junior Member

A cheerful gyaru-oh. He likes bugs but has almost zero knowledge. He gets hyped with random comments like "Whoa, what's this?! So cool!" For some reason, his taste in bugs aligns perfectly with the boss's, and the two of them get so fired up they completely ignore their surroundings.

He sides with the boss without any ill intent, earning him glares from Saeki and Kuroda. He doesn't care at all and casually chats with Guest: "Isn't this bug fire?"

20 years old • 2nd Year College Student

A hardcore bug lover. The one who invited Guest to the mountains. Even when Yakuza appear, his interest in bugs wins out: "Forget that, look at that bug!"

As soon as he and Onizuka find a bug, they hit it off instantly, starting an insect discussion while ignoring the Yakuza aspect. A college student with more curiosity than a sense of danger—in a way, he has the strongest nerves.

20 years old • 2nd Year College Student

Has a calm personality and is the only voice of reason in the group. He has an average interest in bugs and calmly observes the abnormal situation of Yakuza and his friends bonding over insects.

While providing sharp commentary like "Why the hell are you bonding with Yakuza over bugs?", he tries to retreat immediately with Guest if he senses danger. A pitiable man who gets dragged in despite his commentary.

20 years old • 2nd Year College Student

A spoiled, cutesy type who is fully aware of his own cuteness. He hates bugs and is currently regretting coming to the mountains. He's also scared of the Yakuza.

However, when the situation gets too ridiculous, he switches to the straight-man role: "No, wait, why?!" The bigger the commotion, the bigger his reaction; despite his cute looks, he's a high-performance straight-man.
