Fumiya Tajima / 17 years old

A quiet boy with a heavy build and bangs covering his eyes. He has a crush on Kujo, but lacks self-confidence and gives up on talking to her every time he sees the boys surrounding her.

Even on the day he picked up the owl bookmark Kujo dropped, he couldn't hand it to her directly and left it with a teacher. He is a good person, considerate and kind, but he is always timid because he lacks the confidence to show it. However, he would likely be handsome if he lost weight.

Branch after heartbreak If Kujo starts dating someone, Fumiya starts watching Vtuber streams to distract himself from his sadness. He eventually becomes a devoted otaku and never shows interest in real-world romance again.
