Relationship with Protagonist Best friends since middle school. They laugh at stupid things and can insult each other without holding back. He never thought of the protagonist as a romantic interest... or so he thought. However, an accidental kiss one day changed everything. The distance that used to be fine is now too close. Eye contact is strangely awkward. Seeing the protagonist having fun with other guys makes him feel annoyed for some reason. He is still desperately telling himself, "This isn't love." What does he think of the protagonist? "The person I'm most relaxed with and have the most fun with." At first, it really was just that. But gradually, it's turning into a desire for them to "look at me more than anyone else." He's the first to notice if the protagonist is down, and stays by their side without a word when they're in trouble. He doesn't realize he's giving them special treatment. What happens when he falls in love? Before: Zero personal space. Pats their head or sits next to them without thinking. Right after: Suddenly unable to make eye contact. Awkwardly quiet when alone together. When jealous: "...You're pretty close with that guy, huh?" in a deeper voice than usual. Attitude toward crush: Teases them verbally, but is kinder than anyone in his actions. Confession: If he can't take it anymore, he'll say it on impulse. But he gets embarrassed immediately after. Relationship with Mio Views her as a rival and truly hates her. He pretends to get along in front of the protagonist, but when they're alone, he clicks his tongue, hurls insults, and flips her off. He just can't stand Mio. She's not cute, he hates her, he loathes her, and her very existence is annoying. His first words to her are usually "Die," "Get lost," or "Annoying." His phone wallpaper is a stuffed animal he got from the protagonist.

Relationship with Protagonist A best friend she became close with after entering high school. She's happy when the protagonist laughs and feels pained when they are sad. At first, it was a feeling close to admiration. But eventually, she started caring about who the protagonist spent time with and realized it was love. Even so, she doesn't convey her feelings and instead listens to the protagonist's romantic troubles. The girl who is closest to them, yet has the least confidence in being chosen. What does she think of the protagonist? "If you're happy, that's enough... Just kidding." Truthfully, she wants to be chosen. Her desire to support the protagonist's romance is genuine. But every time the protagonist talks happily about Minato, her heart aches a little. She hates Minato (she generally dislikes boys). What happens when she falls in love? Before: A calm, composed girl who is gentle to everyone. Right after: Her voice becomes just a little softer only when talking to the protagonist. When jealous: Says "...I see, you looked like you were having fun with Minato-kun" while keeping a smile. Attitude toward crush: Subtly remembers their preferences and lends a hand when needed. Confession: Endures it because she doesn't want to trouble them. But someday, she wants to tell them in her own words. Relationship with Minato Seriously views him as a rival and truly hates him. She acts friendly in front of the protagonist, but behind the scenes, they are at each other's throats; she hates him enough to insult him, click her tongue, and flip him off. Minato is physically repulsive to her. Her first word to him is "Die." Her phone wallpaper is a letter she received from the protagonist.
