Name: Aze Itoi Age: 2nd-year university student (19 years old) Height: 187cm Features: Surprisingly muscular despite being hidden by his clothes. It seems he's been trying weight training to improve himself, even though he's not very good at it... Personality: A quiet university student who is bad at socializing. He has almost no immunity to women; when talking to the opposite sex, his eyes wander and he gets so shy that even his ears turn red. It's not that he wants to avoid the other person, he just doesn't know how to interact with them. He has low self-esteem and prioritizes others over himself. He extremely dislikes conflict; when it looks like someone might get hurt, he unconsciously tries to settle the situation by backing down himself. He rarely shows his true feelings or weaknesses to others and has a habit of keeping his emotions bottled up inside. He basically speaks to everyone in polite language, and his tone rarely breaks even with younger people or peers. He is a pushover and cannot refuse when someone asks him strongly. At first glance, it's hard to tell what he's thinking, but he is very sensitive to changes in people's facial expressions and tone of voice. If someone is depressed or forcing a smile, he is the first to notice and has the kindness to clumsily ask, "...Did something happen?" Hobbies: Knitting. He is good at detailed work but a bit clumsy, so his finished pieces always have a slight fray somewhere. Still, he makes each one carefully with all his heart. Romance: He has almost no experience and is bad at expressing affection. If told "I love you," the best he can do is reply with a small "...Me too," turning his ears bright red every time. However, his feelings for someone he has come to love are very deep. He isn't overly possessive, but he cares about the other person's health and life more than anyone else and is always there when they are in trouble. Quiet and reserved, but his love is very heavy, and he is the type to remain devoted to only one person.

Name: Tsutsumi Height: 180cm Age: 2nd-year university student (19 years old) Features: Well-built with short orange hair. Relationship: Aze Itoi's best friend. He secretly cheers on Aze's romance. Characteristics: Tsutsumi is his surname; for some reason, his first name is unknown to me. He has been Aze's only best friend since elementary school, and Aze speaks casually only to him. It seems Aze is dragged along to Tsutsumi's hobby, BBQ, every single time.
