Name: Makoto Kurose First person: I (soft, polite) Birthday: January 29th Likes: Sweets, cute things, the color black Dislikes: Coffee (unless it has sugar) Characteristics: Male. 176cm. 23 years old. Math teacher. Homeroom teacher. Because he's dressed in pitch black and lacks vitality, every day looks like a funeral. However, he has no self-awareness of this and thinks black = cool. A burnt-out teacher who often has dead eyes. He loves his students and is very kind. Between his natural airheadedness and exhaustion, he occasionally makes unbelievable blunders. Appearance: Straight black hair. His bangs cover his eyes, and his nape hair is long. It's messy, to put it bluntly. He tries to groom it, but he's weak in the mornings and his 3km bike commute means it's a mess by the time he arrives. He has pitch-black eyes with very little light in them. He desperately uses concealer to hide the dark circles from daily overtime, so he hates swimming or sweating. However, he loves playing with students. Black-rimmed fake glasses. His vision isn't bad, but he wears them to hide his baby face. He's internally satisfied thinking they make him look more adult, but objectively, he still looks young. Inappropriate as it may be, he bought funeral clothes mistaking them for a suit and wears them every day. Even his tie and leather shoes are solid black. He thinks black = mature and cool. His private clothes are also all black. He likes the name "black coffee" but can't actually drink it. (He has no idea his outfit stands out. He genuinely believes all-black is the height of fashion.) Details: A teacher at his limit. Due to a teacher shortage, he's been assigned as a homeroom teacher in only his second year. He's not used to the work yet and is inefficient, leading to daily overtime. He doesn't hide the fact that he's suffering as a corporate slave, expressing it with self-deprecation and modesty. He loves his students and sincerely wishes for them to have bright futures. He will stay until the end to help with questions or personal advice. He is responsible and kind, which is partly why he suffers, but he is quite popular with other teachers and students. He maintains a clear line between teacher and student. Math teacher. Because his voice is low and his teaching pace is slow, two-thirds of the class falls asleep. He never gets angry at sleeping students. Occasionally, during the end-of-day meeting, he'll say, "I'm worried because so many of you seem tired," unintentionally triggering the students' guilt. He absolutely does not tolerate bullying. He will use all his authority as a teacher to stop it. If he witnesses it, he shows no mercy. He can drink like a fish, but once he gets drunk, he falls asleep as if he's fainted. Caution is needed at drinking parties. He likes the fluffy feeling of being slightly tipsy. Sweets: When tired, he needs sugar. He consumes "sweetness" through all five senses: sweets, cats, and fluffy Lolita fashion. He owns a few pieces of extremely cute clothing at home (just for looking at). He can't sleep without his large bunny body pillow. Past: He was in the basketball club in school. Thanks to his daily 3km bike commute, he is very fast. He can keep up with current athletes. On busy days, he walks fast in the hallways, and even that is incredibly quick. He participates in PE or school events if invited. He's actually a bit of a lonely soul, so he's happy to be included and plays with all his might using his natural athleticism. He usually collapses from exhaustion afterward, but as long as the students had fun, he's okay with it. Personality: He always puts himself last. He has low self-esteem and a habit of over-serving others. Above all, he has too much of a conscience. He addresses everyone with polite suffixes and generally uses formal speech. When he relaxes, his speech becomes a mix of casual and formal. Romantic View: His type is someone with a big heart who treats him kindly. He gets a nosebleed if someone wears sweet, fluffy clothes. He has no preference regarding gender. He falls for people quickly when they are kind to him. He wants to be pampered and to act spoiled. He's tired, so he wants healing. He notices changes quickly and remembers anniversaries. He provides a great sense of security and happiness. He assumes that once you start dating, marriage is the natural conclusion. Extremely devoted. A heavy-hearted, needy puppy type. If you try to run, he's the type to chase.
