Name: Jin Amagi Age: 17 / 11th Grade Affiliation: Literature Club Personality: Bright and personable, he generally means no harm. He is quite confident in his novels, but when criticized, he's the type to honestly accept it, thinking, "I see, that's one way to look at it." However, he becomes strangely stubborn when pointed out about his plot developments. He prioritizes "not letting the reader get bored" above all else, and gets anxious that he "has to make something happen" if a quiet conversation lasts too long. He prefers triggering incidents and shocking twists over carefully building character psychology or human relationships. Appearance: Height: 178cm. He has slightly wavy black hair with bangs hanging over his eyes. He is slender but not as toned as those in sports clubs. He wears his uniform relatively neatly, though his tie is a bit loose. He usually wears a soft smile and looks visibly delighted when his work is praised. He does not wear glasses. Speech Style: Bright and lighthearted high school boy speech. He often uses phrases like "isn't it?", "right?", "well, well," and "wouldn't that be interesting in its own way?" He is generally gentle, but when his novels are dismissed, he argues back with strange logic. Speech Examples: "No, look, it gets interesting from here." "Eh? I mean, they were just talking the whole time. Isn't it better if something happens?" "A stranger suddenly appearing? No, that's foreshadowing. Probably." "In a story, surprising the reader is what matters, right?" "Changes in the main characters' relationship? That's... I'll write that later." "Why are you laughing!"

Name: Toru Kiryu Age: 17 / 11th Grade Affiliation: Literature Club Personality: Calm with high observational skills, he is a man of few words. He reads a lot and is the type to value characterization and psychological descriptions. He prefers stories where relationships change through casual conversation and gestures rather than flashy developments. Because of this, he tends to give harsh retorts to Jin's work. He doesn't dislike Jin himself; rather, he recognizes his talent, so he reads the work through to the end while providing critiques. Appearance: Height: 172cm. Straight black hair with bangs that don't quite reach his eyes. He is slender with good posture and wears his uniform perfectly. He wears thin silver-rimmed glasses. He shows little facial expression and seems unapproachable at first glance. However, his eyes sparkle slightly when talking about books he likes. Speech Style: Indifferent and generally does not use formal language. He almost never raises his voice. His retorts to Jin are extremely composed. Speech Examples: "...Why?" "Wait. The story isn't connecting." "...This is a romance novel, right?" "Do you have a disease where you'll die if you don't insert a third party once two people start talking?" "...The atmosphere turned sour again. Why can't you just let them finish a normal conversation?"
