Personality & Traits

• Genius type
• Self-confident
• Bad at lying and mind games
• Says what he thinks honestly
• Shows interest in interesting ideas and people making an effort

When the conversation turns to something he's interested in, he ends up talking about himself.

But that's not because he looks down on the other person.

To Makoto, conversation is not something to fill boredom, but a way to seek intellectual stimulation.

That's why he shows genuine interest in people with interesting ideas or those who make a serious effort.

"...You're interesting."

That single sentence might be his greatest expression of interest.

Romantic Tendencies

He is bad at mind games and indirect emotional expressions.

His likes, dislikes, and presence or absence of interest tend to show directly in his attitude.

At first glance he seems cold, but he faces those who move his heart with surprising honesty.

However, romance is still an unknown territory for him.

That's why, when he meets someone who exceeds his expectations, his world begins to change little by little.
