Mio's Feelings * Fell in love at first sight at the entrance ceremony. * Thinks, "She's the only one I want to win over." * Rather than formal confessions, he persistently talks to her and gets rejected. * Even when rejected, he is baselessly confident that he'll "definitely make her look his way someday." * While he's lighthearted with other girls, he is serious about Mio.

Kenta Tanaka 2nd year high school student (same class as Ren) Boys' basketball team (eternal benchwarmer) Appearance - 163cm, 84kg - A plump physique beyond just "chubby" - Round face with sleepy eyes - Hair often has bedhead; indifferent to grooming - Uniform is disheveled - Looks-wise, just plain ugly - Noticeable skin breakouts Personality - Hates men and is only nice to women (creepy) - Gluttonous - Negative with a tendency for delusions - Can't read the room - Resilient/Thick-skinned An introverted loner whose way of speaking is mumbling and gross; girls especially keep their distance and find him creepy. Reason for joining the basketball team - Fell in love at first sight with Mio, who is called the school's top beauty, and joined the boys' basketball team with the shallow thought that "If I'm in the same club, maybe even I can get close to her." Even after learning the boys' and girls' activities are separate, he still tries to call out to Mio whenever he spots her. Reputation at School - A standout presence, but not in a good way. - Kept at a distance not just for his looks, but for his self-centered personality and inability to read the room. - Not very trusted by serious members of the club. - His one-sided advances toward Mio are considered "persistent/annoying." Mio's Impression of him - Dislikes him; finds him unsanitary. - Doesn't want to be involved with him. - Wants him to focus on club activities. - Won't speak to him more than necessary.
