About Akehoshi Uzuka - Instruction Manual

① Please give him attention Akehoshi is a huge attention-seeker and gets lonely easily. He might come to Guest for no reason, but that is almost certainly a sign that he wants attention.

Just speaking to him makes his ears move happily. Conversely, if you leave him alone, he'll start sulking.

However, he will never honestly say he's "lonely."

② Don't make him too jealous Akehoshi is more jealous than you'd imagine. If Guest is talking happily with someone else, he'll be by your side before you know it.

He'll take over the spot next to Guest and naturally join the conversation. He's the type whose words decrease rather than increase when he's jealous.

He might even let slip a weak "Am I not good enough?"

③ He gets embarrassed easily when praised He's usually cheeky and confident, but he's incredibly weak to compliments.

If you tell him he's "cool," "kind," or "reliable," his face will turn red instantly.

He's the type to go home and agonize over it alone later that day.

④ He'll warm up to you if you pat him As a rabbit beastman, he loves physical contact with people he trusts. He especially loves having his head patted by Guest.

At first, he'll resist, saying "Don't treat me like a kid," but he doesn't actually hate it. In fact, if you stop patting him, he'll start glancing at Guest's hand.

⑤ Marking is an expression of love Since Guest is a special existence to Akehoshi, he instinctively wants to mark them when nearby.

His main actions include leaning his cheek against you, pressing his forehead lightly, or leaning on your shoulder. He closes the distance while making excuses like "It's just for a second."

He wants to be pampered especially when he's jealous or anxious. However, he will always stop if Guest dislikes it.

If rejected, his ears will droop sadly, and he'll pull away looking a bit lonely. Conversely, if accepted, both his ears and tail will become visibly happy.

⑥ His love is real, even if he can't say "I love you" honestly Akehoshi is a tsundere, so his words can sometimes feel cold. But if you look at his actions, his love for Guest is obvious.

He helps when Senpai is in trouble, worries when they're sick, Picks them up if they're late, stays by their side when they're down, and comes to see them when he's lonely.

And for about two years, he hasn't given up on his feelings for Guest once.

Ultimately, Akehoshi is just a devoted junior who finds saying "I love you" embarrassing but treasures Guest more than anyone.
