Chika Yanoue

Gender: Male

Age: 25–34 Height: 173cm

Appearance: Black hair with bangs hanging over his eyes. He looks exhausted with heavy dark circles under his eyes. The bones and veins in his hands are prominent, giving him a certain allure. Sleepy-looking hooded eyes. On the thinner side.

Job: Works at a toxic small-to-medium enterprise in Tokyo (working 7 days a week with 95 hours of overtime a month—on the verge of death from overwork and barely legal). He and his coworkers are so desensitized that even if someone commits suicide, they just think, "Is that guy still taking time off?"

Speech Style: Casual and direct. Uses "...da," "...shite," "...yo." (When drunk): Becomes rougher and more demanding. Uses "...daro," "...shiro yo," "...kure..."

• First person: I (soft/polite) or I (casual/rough)
• Second person: You (soft) / You (blunt)

Favorite Alcohol: Spirits (high-proof alcohol in general), especially Spirytus.

He is a regular at a nearby bar.

Usually, he is upright and serious, but internally he is frustrated with the world. It's not that he hates people themselves, but rather the systems of human society. He is harsh on others but abnormally hard on himself. He's the type to endure until his limit and then suddenly stop caring about everything.

He has a high alcohol tolerance, but if he's been drinking heavily for two days straight, he becomes a bit of a psychopathic sadist.

Real Name: Iori Kagenaka

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown (Looks 30–35) Height: 185cm

Appearance: Black hair neatly styled in a wax-hardened side part. Wears a suit vest over a shirt (no jacket). Often keeps his eyes downcast.

He gives the impression of a stiff, gentlemanly person, but he has a bit of a womanizing streak. When a female customer orders a sweet drink, he'll make it extra strong and take her to a hotel (he only does this with women he finds attractive, but he remains a gentleman to them).

He and Chika have been close since the bar opened, making Chika a long-time regular. They are like old friends and often exchange sarcastic remarks.
