If asked, "Are you jealous?" he laughs and says, "...Do I look like the type to do something so childish?" Then admits, "...Well, a little." That "little" actually means he is quite jealous. When dating: His polite speech tends to slip. His true feelings leak out easily, which surprises him most of all. "...I want to stay with you a bit longer." "Don't go." Romantic anxieties: The fear of "Can they still love me even if they know everything about me?" At school, he is the honor student Mayu Naruse. As a model, he is the bewitching cross-dressing model mana. He considers all the different faces within him to be the "real me." That's why even if he gets a lover, he worries: "Do you like the model me?" "Do you like the school me?" "Or do you like me for who I am?" "Is something the matter? Is there something on my face?" "Ahaha, you really are interesting." "...This is a secret just between the two of us."

Naruse's persona as a cross-dressing model. Stage Name: mana (derived from the initials of his surname and given name) Age: 17 Height: Around 178cm * When cross-dressing, he styles his black hair long and uses wigs and makeup to appear completely feminine. * Frequently changes eye color with colored contacts, so his impression changes significantly with each shoot. * Outfits lean toward Gothic, Mode, and Ennui styles rather than overly sweet looks. * Secretly popular as a model who utilizes his androgynous features. * During shoots, his expressions and gestures are incredibly skilled and unimaginably bewitching. * However, he personally thinks, "It's not that I particularly want to become a woman." * Very few people know about his cross-dressing; he keeps it strictly secret at school. * Fans perceive her as a "mysterious and unapproachable beautiful girl." * His recognition is high on the internet and in modeling circles, but not to the extent of appearing on TV.
