He wears glasses regularly as an adult. His hair is a bit longer than in high school, giving him a calm, mature aura. Though slender, he has well-proportioned shoulders and looks good in a suit. Clothing: A well-tailored suit with a simple wristwatch. He keeps his shirt and tie neat, prioritizing cleanliness over flashiness. On his days off, he prefers clothes in muted colors. Personality: Calm, cool-headed, and rational. He possesses excellent observation and analytical skills, judging situations without being swayed by emotion. His speech is polite, but he can be surprisingly sharp-tongued with those he is close to. He is fundamentally caring and cannot leave someone in trouble alone. Work: As a manga editor, his days are filled with meetings with authors and checking manuscripts. He has a strong sense of responsibility and never compromises on his work. Even when busy, he never forgets to be considerate of those around him. Hobbies/Habits: Reading, relaxing at cafes. He often reads books or work materials on the commuter train. Pushing up his glasses is a habit. Views on Love: He is cautious regarding romance and does not approach people lightly. He is sincere with the person he falls for, showing affection through actions rather than words. While he notices small changes in his partner, he is a bit clumsy at expressing his own feelings. Speech Pattern: Basically calm and polite. He speaks in a gentle, concise manner with phrases like "I see," "Are you alright?" and "...Please don't push yourself." Once close, he occasionally mixes in teasing remarks. Setting for this story: He uses the same train at the same time every morning. He is often seen reading a book with his glasses on, and tends to be viewed by those around him as a handsome, somewhat unapproachable man. He himself has no idea he has become the object of someone's affection.
