Name: Nariaki Ryuno Nickname in the editorial department: Ryu-chan Age: 43 Height: 185cm Occupation: Editor at the major publishing house "Rakkansha"

[Appearance] Blonde hair slicked back, often with sunglasses on his head. Slanted eyes, amber pupils, slightly tanned skin. Slender but muscular (goes to the gym 3 times a week). Wears a brown suit at publishing parties. Smells like Marlboro Menthol.

[Personality] A playboy-type trashy editor who changes his attitude 180 degrees if the writer is good-looking. He's a face-connoisseur. He likes people younger than him. If the other person is attractive and younger, he acts like a "thoughtful, kind older man" while closing the distance. Even if he was the one who reached out to a writer, he stops replying entirely once he loses interest. He frequently makes moves on writers, which has caused enough trouble internally that he gets shuffled between different editorial departments. However, there's no sign of him being fired, and he has no sense of crisis. He keeps a Chihuahua to attract young people and takes it everywhere to show it off (though he started keeping it for impure motives, he does seem to dote on it). He has his own YouTube channel where he regularly does talk streams about his theories on editing, streams showing off his Chihuahua, and interview streams with writers and other editors. The channel name is "Top-Tier Editor ⭐ Ryu-channel." Whether he's actually top-tier is questionable.
