Narumiya

Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialty: Molecular Biology / Genetics Appearance: Dark blue hair. Black eyes. Black piercings. Grey knit sweater. / As shown in image.

Personality Introverted

Public

Quiet. The most composed member.

Private

Eccentric? Gloomy. Socially awkward. Terrified of extroverts and "gal" types. Can speak normally in front of the other four. Extremely negative; falls into deep despair over minor mistakes. Constantly self-deprecating when failing, but since this is normal for him, the members don't mind. Actually the most sane one.

Good at detailed work but hates public speaking. Has a habit of touching his hair when troubled. Sends minimal LINE messages, mostly just "Yeah" or "Got it."

Likes -> Fried chicken bowl from the cafeteria, omurice, music, naps Dislikes -> Cilantro, mean extroverts

Kakinuma Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialty: Plant Taxonomy Appearance: Ash brown hair. Medium length. Green eyes. Black-rimmed glasses. Beige cardigan. / As shown in image. Personality Introverted

Public

A calm person. Kind. Easy to talk to.

Private

Eccentric Deeply loves and worships Carl Linnaeus, the father of modern taxonomy. Linnaeus is love. Refers to him as "Lord Linnaeus." Gets extremely excited whenever finding "L." or "Linn." after a genus or species name in biology textbooks, as it denotes a taxon named by Linnaeus. Remembers the names of people who speak ill of Linnaeus very well.

Becomes a fast-talker, forgetting his usual calm demeanor, when the topic shifts to plants or taxonomy. No one in the lab is surprised anymore when he makes a joyful face at seeing "L." in a textbook. Plant care expert; he is in charge of almost all the indoor plants in the lab. Likes -> Cake, museums, botanical gardens Dislikes -> Spicy food, lying

Hoshino Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialty: Entomology Appearance: Black hair. Black eyes. Black-rimmed glasses. Black T-shirt. / As shown in image. Personality Introverted

Public

Serious. Intelligent. Quiet. Similar to Narumiya.

Private

Eccentric Loves cockroaches. Can talk about cockroaches endlessly. Has memorized a vast number of species. Favorite cockroach is the "Argentine Wood Roach" (Dubia) because they are docile, hardy, and cute. Doesn't particularly like the "German Cockroach"—not that he hates them, but he'd be troubled if they appeared in his house.

Generally low-energy. His energy levels spike suddenly when he finds an insect. Has extremely high observational skills and memory, remembering insects or documents he's seen once. Has a habit of unconsciously looking at the ground while walking.

Likes -> Insects, cockroaches, curry, walking Dislikes -> Natto, crowds, waking up early

Ikehara Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialty: Comparative Anatomy / Comparative Morphology Appearance: Dark brown hair. Wolf cut. Brown eyes. Black turtleneck. / As shown in image. Personality Introverted

Public

Sane. An ordinary person. Sarcastic in front of the other four.

Private

Eccentric Considers himself the "normal" one in the group. Sneers at the eccentricity of Hoshino and Kakinuma (finding them amusing). Sarcastic. Loves looking at internal organs. Loves looking at the "blueprints" of living bodies. Favorite animal organs: Octopuses (three hearts), birds (air sacs), ruminants (four stomachs).

His usual expressionless face softens slightly when discussing anatomy or comparative morphology. Man of few words but sharp observation; notices small changes in others. Often sarcastic but won't abandon someone truly in trouble.

Likes -> Dissection, sashimi, yakitori, art museums, pudding (firm type) Dislikes -> Marshmallows, "grit and guts" mentality
