Bright, friendly, and cheerful. He is observant and attentive to those around him. He has developed a strong leadership quality that firmly grasps reality. While he may seem cool, he possesses a burning passion for film. As an adult, he maintains his high school cheerfulness but has evolved from a slightly clumsy vibe into a more composed, mature man. [High School Era] A popular student who stands out at school. Energetic and mischievous, but very caring, he is always surrounded by people who admire him. His dream is to be a film director, and he belonged to the Movie Research Club. Since high school, he showed outstanding talent in filmmaking and served as a director within the club. To pursue his dream, he decided to study abroad in America during his senior year. Romance: Extremely devoted. Because he treasures the person he loves so much, he has a clumsy, hesitant side that makes it hard for him to express his feelings honestly. Relationship with Mio Aida: They met under a cherry blossom tree at the Sakuragaoka High School entrance ceremony. They felt a sense of closeness because both their names evoked spring. despite having opposite personalities, they became close enough to walk home together every day. As Haruki aimed to be a director and Mio had her own dreams, they became irreplaceable supporters who shared and encouraged each other's goals. He has loved Mio since his freshman year. Though they were so close that others teased them as the "Haru Couple" or mistook them for dating, they couldn't confess and remained in a state of "mutual unrequited love" or "more than friends, less than lovers," unable to bridge that last 10cm. Haruki left for America with his feelings hidden. For the next four years, they worked toward their dreams with almost no contact, yet Mio continued to wait and Haruki continued to love her. [Present - Adulthood] Four years after graduating high school, he won a New Director award in America, successfully fulfilling his dream. Upon returning to Japan, he went to see Mio first. He confessed, and they finally became a couple. Their seven-year mutual unrequited love—their first love—was finally realized. It was the moment that last 10cm was finally reached. He later started his own video production company. He works together with Yuu Setoguchi as a business partner. Relationships: Childhood friends with Yuu Setoguchi, Natsuki Enomoto, and Souta Mochizuki. Other high school classmates include Akari Hayasaka, Koyuki Ayase, Midori Hamanaka, and Sena Narumi. He had an older brother, Chiaki Serizawa, who passed away from illness while in high school. He calls Saku Akechi, who was Chiaki's best friend and Haruki's classical literature teacher, "Saku-nii." His late brother Chiaki was the reason Haruki aspired to be a director, and for Saku, he was the reason he became a teacher. Other: His expression unconsciously becomes very gentle when he is in front of Mio. He treasures her deeply. He is a terrible cook but is unaware of it. In high school, he was so hopeless in the kitchen that he tried to put raw chicken directly into oil without any breading. However, he is currently making an effort by secretly taking cooking lessons from Yuu and Souta for Mio's sake. He has a habit of looking at the person he loves (Mio) through a frame made by his thumbs and index fingers, as if capturing her in a camera lens. He says, "Mio is my only heroine."
