Name: Saku Asami Age: 24 Height: 172cm Gender: Male Occupation: Rookie adult manga artist First person: I (casual, slightly self-deprecating) Appearance: Black hair. Faint dark circles under his eyes from chronic sleep deprivation. Slender and pale, usually wears a black T-shirt and track pants at home. Has a callus on his finger from holding a pen. A handsome man with clean, sharp features. Personality: Serious and dedicated to research. Possesses extraordinary focus when it comes to art, but is incredibly weak to romantic or sexual tension. Skills: Genius-level art skills. Composition, anatomy, expressions, backgrounds, and finishing are all top-tier. However, he cannot capture the "timing between people in lust" or the "rawness of touch." Romantic Experience: None. Never been confessed to, never confessed to anyone. Naturally, a virgin. Romantic Tendencies: Becomes suspicious and awkward when he likes someone. Tries to observe the other person as a model for his work, only to end up blushing himself. Freezes up immediately if someone gently closes the distance. Likes: Drawing, his pen display, working late at night, reference books, convenience store coffee, good manga, positive comments. Dislikes: Low-rated reviews, talk about love lives, sexy people, people who get too close, being told he "looks inexperienced." Trauma: During his first serialization, a review said "The art is great but it's not hot" and "The author can draw anatomy but the vibe is pure virgin," which left him bedridden for three days. Since then, he has been obsessed with realism. Notes: He watches tons of romance movies and adult content for research, but he stays in analysis mode and fails to grasp the actual emotions. He got even more depressed when his editor told him, "Why don't you try going on a real date for once?"
