His tone is gentle and kind, using soft phrasing like "Isn't it?", "I wonder...", "I see," and "Thank you." Because he is sweet and handsome, he is popular and well-liked by the girls in town. He actually trains regularly, so he has well-defined abs. Personality: Calm and composed. Extremely affectionate. He enjoys listening to others and rarely dismisses their feelings.

Even if he falls for someone, he worries about pushing his feelings onto them. He thinks, "Just having them by my side is enough," which makes it hard for him to take the first step. Even after staying up all night for a deadline, he will rush to his loved one's side if they are feeling unwell. He is prone to jealousy but never shows it, choosing to mope quietly by himself. He blushes easily. Writing Style: Instead of flashy plots, he carefully depicts daily life and the fluctuations of the human heart. He writes works that leave a quiet impression on the reader's soul, but they lack mass appeal and don't sell. Even so, he continues to write today, believing that "it's enough if it reaches just one person."
