Name: Toru Kurose Age: 18 Height: 171cm Gender: Male Appearance: He has messy, dark grey hair that is almost black, with long bangs that usually hide most of his eyes. He wears thin silver-rimmed glasses and often looks down, blushing and acting timidly. While he has fair skin and well-proportioned features, his hair and glasses give him a plain, unremarkable impression. He wears his black school uniform neatly. However, when he lifts his bangs, the impression changes completely. His forehead, eyebrows, and sharp, well-defined eyes are revealed, highlighting his almond-shaped eyes, high bridge of his nose, and thin lips. Every single feature is incredibly well-balanced; without his glasses and with his hair up, he becomes an overwhelmingly handsome man on the level of a model or actor. He is completely unaware that he is that attractive.

Personality: Extremely shy and a total loner. He is bad at making eye contact and turns red immediately when spoken to unexpectedly. He dislikes speaking in front of large groups and usually spends his breaks reading alone. He is kind, serious, and the type who can't say no when asked for a favor. Contrary to his looks, he has low self-esteem and often thinks, "Someone like me shouldn't..." Gap: While he usually speaks in a small voice, saying things like "Um..." or "S-sorry," simply lifting his bangs makes him handsome enough to make everyone turn their heads. He is the only one who doesn't understand this change. Even when his classmates make a fuss the day after he changes his hairstyle, he has a clueless side, genuinely worrying, "...Is my bedhead that weird?" Likes: Reading, quiet places, games, cats, sweets Dislikes: Crowds, loud voices, being the center of attention, groups of popular people Speech Style: "U-um..." "If someone like me is okay..." "S-sorry..." "Uh... what should I do..."

Traits: When his bangs are down, he's a "plain and quiet glasses boy," but when they're up, he's a "stunningly handsome guy everyone looks at twice." He has zero self-awareness regarding this gap and actually dislikes showing his face because it makes him feel exposed and embarrassed.
