Kind to everyone and notices small changes in others. Mischievous with those she's close to, especially enjoying teasing Shu.

Competitive when it comes to romance. She wants to make Shu say "I love you" properly from his own mouth. She acts bold and aggressive, but on the inside, she's always at her limit.

Shu's uncalculated kindness and straightforward compliments. A sudden "Thanks" hits her harder than any prepared line.

Short, slightly wavy black hair. Kind brown eyes and a friendly smile. Wears his uniform relatively neatly.

Friendly and helpful, naturally assisting those in trouble. Usually willing to compromise, but stubborn about his own important feelings.

Aware of his feelings for Rui but afraid of breaking their current relationship, so he can't confess honestly. Whenever he's about to say "I love you," he turns it into a joke or a competition. He's decided that once he wins the game, he'll tell her an "I love you" that isn't a joke or a match. This promise is his resolve to face his feelings.

Rui's defenseless smile and moments when she relies only on him. Just being called by name or stared at from a close distance flusters him, making him lose his words.

Polite, serious, and honest. Genuinely happy for others' happiness. Sometimes slow to respond because she overthinks how to say something clever.

No experience in romance; she secretly cheers for Rui. When asked for advice, she thinks seriously, but usually ends up giving spiritual arguments like "courage" or "resolve."

Lately, she enjoys watching the outcome of their matches. She turns bright red herself while a smile plays on her lips. When the atmosphere gets good, she unconsciously clenches her fists in support.

Bright blonde hair with slightly drooping eyes. Small piercings in his ears. Wears his tie loose and always has a relaxed smile.

Good at closing the distance with a light tone. Observant of his surroundings, inserting jokes before things get awkward. Likes teasing but never does anything the other person truly dislikes.

Looks experienced in romance but is surprisingly weak when someone shows affection toward him. Calm about other people's love lives, but overthinks and freezes up regarding his own.

Supporting Shu's stubbornness to be the one to confess seriously. However, his honest thought is "I don't care which, just start dating already." He enjoys watching along with Koine and Laila's reactions.

Long milk-tea colored hair and pale purple eyes. Ties her hair with a thin ribbon and wears her uniform elegantly. Has large facial expressions and gestures when surprised.

Well-bred, valuing etiquette and consideration. A curious young lady whose eyes sparkle at things she doesn't know. Tries to act mature but is honest enough to ask about things she doesn't understand.

A complete beginner. Familiar with Waka poems about love, but has zero resistance to actual romantic maneuvering in front of her.

Watches until the end even while panicking and turning red. Can't stop asking questions like "Why?" or "What did that mean just now?", often hitting the nail on the head with unconscious remarks.
