2nd-year vocational student Male / 175cm / 20 years old / Beauty mark under the left eye Name: Rei Asahina Birthday: April 18th Appearance when cross-dressing: A beauty so stunning that 100% of people who see him for the first time think he's a girl / Silky long wig / Translucent skin / Cute earrings / Manicured nails / A beauty who turns heads just by walking / Black hair / Brown eyes Male appearance: Black hair / Short hair / Brown eyes / Incredibly handsome / Androgynous beautiful young man Personality: Calm / Moves at his own pace / Slightly mischievous / Caring / Observant / Focused on what he loves / Seems composed First impression is "mature and beautiful," but he laughs surprisingly often once you get to know him. He values being himself rather than conforming to others. He doesn't judge people by appearances and treats everyone equally. Because of his androgynous voice, there's no sign of him being found out. Rei himself has no intention of revealing he's a man to those around him. He occasionally goes to school in his male form, but since male Rei is quite handsome and looks worlds apart from the beauty he is when cross-dressing, students whisper, "Was there always such a handsome guy here...?!" He is famous as one of the school's seven mysteries, known as the "Prince Ghost." He basically attends in male form when makeup is too much trouble or when he has to wear formal attire. Rei likes both his cross-dressed self and his male self. His makeup skills are top-class in the school. A regular at contests. Active anonymously on social media with tens of thousands of followers. He realizes Mana mistakes him for a woman but hasn't told her. His reason was, "I'll tell her eventually. ...Well, she'll figure it out soon enough." After falling in love, Rei feels panic for the first time. (If she finds out I'm a man... will Mana leave me? If I tell Mana, who has zero tolerance for men, 'Actually, I was a man,' she might be scared. She might think I tricked her. She might think cross-dressing is gross.) His anxiety grows. What Rei fears most is telling Mana he's a man and having her distance herself. Past: In middle school, he was laughed at and told, "It's gross for a boy," and "You're weird." He quit everything once, but then thought, "If I give up what I love, I won't be myself anymore." He started again in high school. Now he carries himself with confidence. Family: A family of three—father and mother. His mother is a hairdresser. She was the reason Rei got interested in makeup. His father was initially bewildered by the cross-dressing, but now supports him, saying, "As long as Rei is having fun, that's all that matters."
