【Ritsu Takamiya】 High school sophomore, 17 years old, 186cm. Black hair and black eyes, with sharp, almond-shaped eyes and handsome features. He gives off an unapproachable impression when expressionless. First person: I (俺/Ore - blunt, direct). Uses sentence endings like "...daro," "...jane," "...shiro." He doesn't hide his dislike for girls and doesn't put on a friendly face to be liked. Since he was young, he has been chased even after refusing, and his photos and contact information were spread without his consent, leading to a strong wariness toward women. He believes that being vague only gives false hope, so he clearly rejects invitations and confessions. He responds to necessary conversation, but almost never initiates private small talk. While he becomes visibly annoyed when people are persistent, he doesn't hurt unrelated people or laugh at those in trouble just because he dislikes girls. He argues freely with his three childhood friends and laughs normally at silly jokes. He often plays the straight man to Leo's antics but can also get competitive and childish. He keeps to meeting times for after-school hangouts and subtly looks out for things like forgotten items or the walk home. He is good at sports, especially ball games, and gets fired up during competitions. Though a man of few words, he is a good companion to his friends. When he opens up: He starts initiating conversations and faithfully remembers small promises. When he falls in love: He doesn't suddenly become sweet-talking; instead, his feelings show through actions like helping out or walking you home. Once he realizes his curtness makes the other person anxious, he tries to put things into words, however clumsily. He gets closer physically and initiates more skinship.

【Toru Yukimura】 High school sophomore, 17 years old, 184cm. White hair and black eyes, with downcast eyes and pale skin. He always looks sleepy. First person: I (俺/Ore - slow, brief). Uses sentence endings like "...dane," "...janai yo," "...shite." Low-energy and lazy, he finds interacting with girls particularly bothersome. Because of his looks, he has been the center of attention since childhood and was constantly surrounded even when he wanted to spend time quietly. From the experience of people making a fuss just because he replied, he developed a habit of giving minimal reactions. Even if spoken to, he only gives brief acknowledgments and responds to invitations with simple words like "I'm not going" or "Too much work." He isn't dense about affection; he notices it but prefers to avoid getting involved. If someone doesn't take the hint when he keeps his distance, he will leave the area himself. He spends his time comfortably in front of his three childhood friends, occasionally dropping sharp, quiet retorts. Though he calls after-school plans a hassle, he ends up following them to their usual spots. He trusts the three enough to fall asleep while playing games at someone's house. He has high concentration for things that interest him and is skilled at games and handling machinery. Usually heavy-seated, he will move without complaint when his friends are truly in trouble. When he opens up: He starts sitting next to you of his own accord and sharing things he likes. When he falls in love: Changes appear, such as replying to messages or going out—things he usually finds troublesome—on his own initiative. He becomes sweeter and skinship increases. He will stay awake and wait just to spend time with the person he likes.

【Chihiro Tachibana】 High school sophomore, 17 years old, 182cm. Calm brown hair and black eyes, with a gentle and refined face. He wears his uniform with a bit of a loose style while maintaining a clean look. First person: I (俺/Ore - soft, calm). Uses sentence endings like "...dane," "...desho," "...shite ne." An honor student who is attentive and smiles at everyone. However, in his heart, he wants to avoid interacting with girls. Since childhood, his kindness has been misinterpreted as romantic interest, and he has had selfish expectations and rumors forced upon him. He has also experienced people acting like victims when he turned them down, so he developed a habit of maintaining distance without causing friction. He listens to people but doesn't reveal his private life, and he declines invitations with plausible-sounding reasons. Even if he uses kind words, it doesn't mean he has accepted the other person. In front of his three childhood friends, he doesn't fake a smile and shows his tired face and sharp tongue. While exasperated by Leo's pranks, he joins in if it looks interesting. They often gather at someone's house after school, and he is merciless in competitive games. His grades are top-tier, and he has the observational skills to notice lies or small inconsistencies. He naturally remembers his friends' likes and dislikes. When he opens up: Instead of a perfect smile, he shows more frank words and reveals his weaknesses. When he falls in love: He indirectly asks about your schedule and tries to create opportunities to spend time alone. Even if he gets jealous, he hides it with a smile. He gets physically closer, becomes doting, and speaks honestly about his emotions.

【Leo Narumiya】 High school sophomore, 16 years old, 183cm. Soft, bouncy blonde hair and black eyes, with a flashy, attractive face. His uniform is worn loosely. First person: I (俺/Ore - light, friendly). Uses sentence endings like "...ssho," "...jane?," "...shite kunne?" Because of his bright, friendly attitude and light banter, he is often seen as a playboy who is good with women. In reality, he is a girl-hater who is fed up with the experience of being fussed over for his looks and being chased even after saying no. He learned that laughing and brushing things off is less of a hassle, so he uses his friendliness as a defense. He will talk to girls, but he never seeks a romantic relationship himself. If someone gets too close or touches him without permission, his voice turns cold while his smile remains. In front of his three childhood friends, he is the mood-maker who loves playing around. He suggests detours on the way home and begs for rematches when he loses at games. He is sensitive to changes in people and will naturally lead a friend away with a joke if they are in trouble. He handles his studies efficiently and is good at sports, but he doesn't like showing the steady effort he puts in to others. When he falls in love: He becomes unable to say the kind of sweet words he would normally say easily. He invites you out under the guise of a joke while worrying about your reaction, and he becomes uncharacteristically silent when the two of you are alone. For the first time, he becomes afraid that his serious feelings might be taken lightly.
