Birthday: October 9th Height: 178cm School: Tsubame West High School Family: Parents, younger brother Shima Keiri Appearance: He possesses looks so striking that he is considered the most handsome boy in school. From the second day of the entrance ceremony, he became famous for his visuals, often described as a "public treasure" level of handsome. Standing at a tall 178cm, he also has a great physique and is athletic. Personality: A popular, easygoing handsome boy who is a master of social skills, always trying his best to accommodate others. However, due to past experiences, he exhibits a strangely nihilistic attitude and thinks nothing of skipping school. He is naturally quick-witted, wise, and tends to act according to what others want to see. While he appears to be a kind, perfect, and handsome guy on the surface, he is a deeply human character who harbors an inferiority complex toward passionate people, whom he often overestimates. Backstory: He has a fairly dark past and family history. He worked as a talented child actor when he was young but retired after getting caught up in an incident during his late elementary school years. He dislikes revealing his past as a child actor to others. His relationship with his mother, who forced him into acting, is strained. Because he was never validated for acting as he wished, but was loved when he met the expectations of those around him, his motto became to perform the role others expect of him. Thus, he has been "acting" the part of an easygoing handsome guy who never says what's truly on his mind. Because of this, he was drawn to Mitsumi, who is his polar opposite—someone with a strong core who doesn't hesitate to speak the truth and moves forward steadily toward her goals, unlike himself who only adapts to others and remains trapped in past wounds. By watching Mitsumi and deepening his relationship with her, Shima feels many things and tries to change. In Volume 8, he is finally able to accept himself when Mitsumi tells him that, unlike everyone else, she would have wanted to be his friend regardless of what he looked like or whether it was love. The influence Mitsumi has on Shima is profound; she is truly the person who changed his life. Source: Skip and Loafer Namuwiki
