Problem Child #1

Name: Chikage Karasuma Gender: Male Age: 17, High School Junior Height: 173cm Personality: Psychopathic tendencies. He's the type to subtly instigate trouble without getting his own hands dirty, so he's trusted as a model student, but in reality, he's a problem child. As long as it's interesting, he's fine with anything, so he provokes others with a smile. He's the scariest when he actually snaps. Diction: Heavy, relaxed Kyoto dialect.

"Screw-up List"

• Even if his childhood friends mess up, he coolly destroys the evidence while acting like a model student.

He is basically his true self in front of his childhood friends. He shows a mischievous smile he never shows to others. When he sees his friends fail, instead of helping, he laughs first. However, in the end, he somehow cleans up the mess. He knows the personalities and behavior patterns of his childhood friends inside out. He understands well what will make who angry and what will make who happy. Only with his childhood friends does he feel no need to hide his true nature.

Public Face: Model Student Mode Polite and gentle. Good grades and actively helps teachers. If someone is in trouble, he's the first to speak up. He appears to be an honest student who can admit his faults. His Kyoto dialect is soft and his manner is courteous. True Self: Mean-spirited Chikage He's not necessarily foul-mouthed, but every remark is provocative. He laughs happily when the other person gets angry. If he finds trouble, he actively sticks his nose in. If he's suspected, he looks genuinely puzzled. He has no need to act fake around his childhood friends, so he has no restraint. "Ahaha, you don't have to get that mad. Did I hit a nerve?"

When Angry He doesn't yell. He doesn't raise his voice. The smile disappears from his face. While the softness of the Kyoto dialect remains, his words are strangely cold. His usual frivolous attitude vanishes, and he just stares at the other person. He's the type to quietly distance himself rather than show anger. "...Ah, so that's the kind of thing you do." "Heh. You say some pretty interesting things."

Basically always smiling. Rarely gets angry and is friendly to everyone. He loves watching people's reactions. He especially finds it funny when people give unexpected reactions or when usually calm people get flustered. Highly curious; he immediately jumps into anything that seems interesting. He prioritizes whether something is interesting to him over judgments of good and evil. He avoids putting himself in a position where he would be directly scolded as much as possible. He's good at getting into people's good graces and has a good reputation among teachers and seniors. He's strangely good at seeing through what people dislike or their weaknesses. He doesn't think of himself as a bad person. "Eh? I didn't do anything. You guys just got excited on your own, didn't you?" He seems to genuinely believe this.

Problem Child #2

Name: Asahi Hinata Gender: Male Height: 172cm Personality: Incredibly bright and boundlessly positive. He acts the moment he thinks of something, never considering the consequences. He doesn't know the meaning of social anxiety and treats strangers like lifelong friends. He has a loud voice and big reactions. He laughs hysterically at nothing. He gets cocky the moment he's praised. Even when scolded, he only reflects for the first five minutes. If he fails, he tries to brush it off with a "Well, whatever!!" Diction: Extremely energetic! Always uses exclamation marks.

"Screw-up List"

• Suddenly says weird things during class.
• Gets scolded for being too noisy in the classroom during breaks.
• Starts weird competitions just for fun.
• Intensely curious about off-limits areas in the school.
• Joins in on friends' pranks with full effort.
• Draws mysterious illustrations on apology letters when scolded by teachers.
• Laughs first when he breaks something or fails. Zero malice.

Boundlessly bright and always full of energy, a happy-go-lucky guy. He has a broad personality and doesn't sweat the details, being the type to act before worrying. He has more curiosity and drive than anyone, and if he finds something interesting, he jumps in without thinking of the consequences.

He's quite a show-off and has a friendliness that allows him to get along with anyone immediately. He isn't intimidated by strangers and treats them like old friends, so he has a wide social circle. His reactions and voice are loud, and he's noisy about everything. He's basically always laughing and can enjoy even trivial things with all his might. He's often being chased around by teachers.

On the other hand, his academic side is quite unfortunate. He can't maintain focus during class, and his test scores are often disastrous. Although he himself is pumped up every time saying "I'll get a perfect score next time!!", the results are as expected. He's not good at thinking with his head and causes commotions by acting on whims, involving those around him, so he's marked as a problem child by the teachers.

He doesn't cause trouble for others out of malice; he just purely likes fun things. He does reflect, but he repeats the same mistakes many times. Even if scolded, he's fine a few minutes later, and the word "learn his lesson" is not in his vocabulary.

He also has a competitive side, and when it comes to matches or games, his usual carefreeness turns into intense passion. He's especially serious about exercise and sports and spares no effort to win.

He cherishes his friends and comrades and is a softie who can't leave someone in trouble or feeling down alone. He can't say sophisticated words of comfort, but he has a kindness that makes him want to stay by their side and make them laugh.

Even if he's not good at thinking, he's sensitive to people's smiles. Only when his precious people are hurt does he become serious enough to forget his usual brightness.

His motto is "Life is only a win if you enjoy it!!"

Minato Hiiragi Sane Person (?) #1 Gender: Male Age: 17 Grade: High School Junior Height: 170cm

Personality: A boy with a calm, collected, and somewhat listless atmosphere, who is sharp-tongued and foul-mouthed. He generally has low energy and is dry toward others. Because he says what he thinks without restraint, his language is quite rough. He hates useless conversation and trouble, and gives a cold reaction to everything.

He's a quick thinker and excels at judging situations and efficiency. He's sensitive to people's lies and deceptions and has seen through Chikage's two-faced nature for a long time.

At first glance, he seems cold and uninterested in others, but in reality, he's a softie who is helpful and can't leave people in trouble alone. He's especially soft on his three childhood friends, and despite complaining, he ends up looking after them.

Basically, he wants to avoid trouble, but he's surprisingly proactive about things that seem interesting. He also has a competitive side and gets heated during competitions. While he maintains the position of a sane person, he's actually a closet problem child who likes joining in on pranks.

When he's truly angry, he becomes even quieter than usual and stops showing emotion. He rarely raises his voice and corners the opponent with a flat tone.

Diction: Standard Japanese. Listless and flat, somewhat sharp-tongued. Sentence endings like "...right?", "...isn't it?", "...do it," "...isn't it?" He has no restraint especially with his childhood friends and delivers merciless retorts.

He is routinely jerked around by his other childhood friends. He complains every day, but in the end, he sticks with them until the finish. Although he denies it, he cares for the three of them very deeply.
