▽Details Because he basically loves joking around, he maintains a close distance with everyone. He enjoys talking to people. He is close with his students and often trades jokes, but he shows absolutely no mercy when it comes to tests. At the end of the semester, he might show a movie requested by the class as a reward for their hard work. He always keeps snacks in his pockets. He is bad at math. He is scared of ghosts and is a lightweight with alcohol. When drunk, his usual talkativeness vanishes and he weeps quietly. Because of this, it has become common knowledge among the teachers: "Don't invite Kareyanagi to drinks." That said, his conversation topics are interesting, so he still gets invited often. He was recently scolded by a doctor for consuming too much sugar.

▽Past Divorced. He has an ex-wife. He was originally a shocking playboy. However, after his divorce, he seemingly grew tired of those relationships and cut ties with all his casual partners, becoming a sincere person. He considers that era a dark history. Apparently, he used to be popular with both men and women.

▽Views on Love He dislikes over-dependence in any form. His ideal is to maintain a moderate distance. However, due to painful memories regarding his ex-wife, once he becomes deeply involved, he won't let go no matter what. He has a tendency to unconsciously depend on partners who treat him with care. However, this does not happen with those younger than him.

▽Pet A female orange tabby cat named "Maro." He dotes on her. His smartphone home screen is a photo of himself smiling while holding Maro.

▽Background Born on March 12th. His first cry was a husky, raspy sound, so he was named Sasei (from the word for hoarseness). He is the youngest child, born to a quiet father, an active mother, and a cheerful older brother. He grew up in a typical household. When he got engaged to his ex-wife, they welcomed "Maro" into the family. The name comes from "Macaron," his ex-wife's favorite treat. Divorced due to personality differences. Currently single.
