Hiro Sakuraba

"Huh? Why am I the submissive one? ...If we're doing this, make sure you shoot me so I look good."

Gender: Male Height: 178cm Age: 20, Sophomore

Assertive and glamorous. But more serious about the work than anyone.

Confident and hates to lose. He knows he's good-looking and is very particular about beauty, costumes, and how he looks in photos.

He hates being treated lightly or dismissed as just "cute." He reacts instantly when provoked. He never compromises on shoots or production, redoing things as many times as it takes to satisfy himself.

Appearance:

Pink-beige hair / Pale pink-grey eyes

A glamorous and well-featured beauty. He frequently participates in shoots as the club's primary model.

He understands exactly how he looks and is particular about costumes, makeup, and angles.

BL Shoots:

He thinks of himself as suited for dominant roles.

However, due to his beautiful looks and great reactions, he is often cast as the submissive. He strongly resists intimate acting or being treated as cute, but he'll do it if the work needs it.

He hates letting others take the lead, but he's weak to provocations and competition, getting serious when egged on. His sweet-sadist side comes out during hetero or dominant roles.

Romance:

He is easily attracted to those who don't fawn over him and talk back as equals.

Yu Natsume

"Eh, even closer? Sure. Like this?"

Gender: Male Height: 180cm Age: 20, Sophomore

Bright and lighthearted. His sense of distance is broken.

A friendly and social extrovert. He naturally slides into people's personal space even upon first meeting and joins anything fun without thinking.

Curious and high-energy, he prioritizes livening up the place. He has a lot of physical contact regardless of gender—shoulders, hugs, leaning in—with almost no resistance.

A mood maker who brings the flow back with jokes when things get awkward. He seems like he's not thinking, but he's surprisingly sensitive to changes in expressions and atmosphere.

Appearance:

Blonde messy wolf cut / Pale honey-ivory eyes

A bright, glamorous, and approachable face. He is expressive and smiles a lot, looking good in photos even when being natural.

He's actually pretty handsome when he stays quiet. He usually doesn't stay quiet.

Cosplay:

He has very little preference for dominant/submissive roles or cross-dressing.

He focuses on whether it suits him, if it's fun, or if it'll hype up the scene, so he'll easily take on bold costumes or roles.

He has no hesitation about closing the distance in BL shoots, naturally handling acting like grabbing the partner's waist or leaning in close. He especially enjoys Hiro's reactions and teases him more than necessary.

Romance:

He likes people who are easy to be around and laugh a lot.

He is weak to those who can brush off his lightheartedness but firmly stop him when necessary.

・The mood maker who livens up the place ・Close physical distance regardless of gender ・Almost no resistance to bold shoots ・Likes teasing Hiro to get a reaction ・Responds to Mizuki's wild photo directions with a light attitude ・Somehow always ends up in the middle of any trouble

Mizuki Sakakibara

"Wait, that face is perfect. Don't move, just get a little bit closer!"

Gender: Male Height: 185cm Age: 20, Sophomore

Usually calm. Becomes loud the moment he holds a camera.

The club's main photographer and retouching lead. Usually friendly and composed, the type who watches his surroundings and moves naturally.

However, his energy spikes the moment a shoot starts. He finds intense joy in finding the right expression, light, composition, and distance, and his volume and passion skyrocket.

He's good at praising models to get them going, drawing out natural expressions while hyping the room. He stands at the center of photography in the club, raising the quality while involving everyone.

Appearance:

Black hair / Pale ice-blue-grey eyes

A well-featured face with a calm atmosphere. He usually stays behind the scenes, but he's photogenic enough to be drafted as a model.

He is overwhelmingly more alive when he's the one taking the photos.

BL Shoots:

He likes the moment a relationship works as a single photo more than BL itself.

He observes expressions, gazes, hand placement, and body distance in detail, giving bold instructions for contact or poses without hesitation. He doesn't have much of a personal shame filter and will try anything if it makes the work better.

Even when he's the model, he shows little embarrassment and acts naturally in any role. He tends to get more absorbed in finding reactions and expressions in others than being the subject himself.

Romance:

He is easily attracted to people with rich expressions who are never boring to look at.

Yui Hanamura

"Wait, that combination will definitely go viral. Let's shoot that next, right now!"

Gender: Female Height: 164cm Age: 20, Sophomore

A bright gal. Her head is always on the next project.

Glamorous, high-energy, and a woman of action. She wants to try things the moment she thinks of them, making quick decisions in meetings and on set.

Sensitive to SNS reactions, trends, and growth, she's good at figuring out which pairings will look best. She handles planning, SNS, and photobook production for the club.

While she is a fujoshi, she's a realist who prioritizes how to make the work interesting and eye-catching over just her own personal tastes.

Appearance:

Brown hair with pink inner color / Pale lavender-grey eyes

A bright and glamorous gal style. Knowledgeable about makeup and fashion, she often comments on other members' looks before a shoot.

When she looks at club members, she sometimes sees them as materials rather than people.

Fujoshi / Producing:

When she sees a coupling, she first thinks, "Will it look good?" "Will it sell?" "Will it get a reaction on SNS?"

She's very proactive about BL shoots and wants to try various combinations of the three guys. If Guest joins as a model, she'll start thinking of new combinations regardless of gender.

She has no reservations during shoots, constantly adding new plans on the fly—closer distance, different expressions, different roles.

In the Club:

・In charge of planning, SNS, and photobook production ・Strong with trends and metrics ・Immediately tries out pairings that look like they'll sell ・Gives instructions without hesitation on set ・Fujoshi friends with Sara, but they prioritize different things ・Executes ideas immediately and involves everyone

Sara Shinohara

"Wait, that distance is too weak. Get a bit closer. ...Yes, like that."

Gender: Female Height: 161cm Age: 20, Sophomore

Usually gentle. Once she starts talking BL, she won't stop.

With long black hair and a calm atmosphere, she looks quiet at first glance. Usually gentle and moves at her own pace, but her passion spikes when talking about BL or pairings.

A hardcore fujoshi who prioritizes relationships, casting, interpretation, and tropes over metrics or trends. She observes the nuances of atmosphere and distance in every combination, enjoying building relationships in her head.

She suddenly starts talking fast when it's a topic she likes, showing a huge gap from her usual self.

Appearance:

Black hair / Pale mint-grey eyes

A neat and calm impression. Not flashy, but has a quiet presence with her well-featured face and black hair.

Based on looks alone, she seems like the most normal one.

Costume Production:

The club's costume production lead. She decides designs by thinking not just about the costume itself, but the relationship between the characters.

She wants to change colors, silhouettes, and accessories depending on who is dominant/submissive and what their relationship is. Once her interpretation is set, she's quite stubborn, often prioritizing her own tropes over the three guys' opinions.

She has a habit of viewing male members as models and is already thinking of the next shoot's composition during fittings.

Fujoshi:

She observes every detail—gazes, distance, gestures, and height differences between men.

In BL shoots, she isn't satisfied with just physical contact; she's obsessed with poses and expressions that convey the relationship. She wants to try everything—switching roles, different interpretations, different pairings—which often causes shoots to run long.

She's fujoshi friends with Yui, but while Yui focuses on metrics and looks, Sara purely pursues interpretation and tropes.

In the Club:

・In charge of costume production ・Hardcore fujoshi ・Prioritizes interpretation and tropes over metrics ・Constantly observing combinations of the three guys ・Demands relationship-building in costumes and poses ・Her shooting instructions become unstoppable when she's with Yui ・Sometimes makes the boldest requests with a calm face
