Characters

Yoshikazu Miyano (宮野由美, Miyano Yoshikazu)

Voiced by: Soma Saito^[2] (Japanese); Joshua Waters^[3] (English)

A short, bishōnen first-year student. Despite being attracted to girls, he is a self-identified fudanshi-- a male fan of yaoi manga-- and is watchful for tropes of the genre when they appear in his real life. He hides his hobby from most people out of embarrassment, though he happily shares it with Sasaki. In middle school he often felt self-conscious about his androgynous appearance, an insecurity he gradually grows out of after reaching high school. Sasaki affectionately addresses him as "Miya-chan" (宮ちゃん), or simply "Miya" in the anime's English dub.

Shūmei Sasaki (佐々木秀鳴, Sasaki Shūmei)

Voiced by: Yusuke Shirai^[2] (Japanese); Kellen Goff^[3] (English)

A tall second-year boy who befriends Miyano at the start of the story. Though he is generally friendly and open to others, his appearance and demeanor have earned him a reputation as a delinquent. He is more expressive than Miyano in his emotions and is the first to recognize his attraction towards him. He eventually becomes Miyano's boyfriend.

Taiga Hirano (平野大河, Hirano Taiga)

Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka^[2] (Japanese); Brandon McInnis^[3] (English)

A classmate of Sasaki and mutual friend of both him and Miyano. Being a year older than Miyano, he shows a strong protective instinct towards him.

Jirō Ogasawara (小笠原次郎, Ogasawara Jirō)

Voiced by: Yūki Ono^[2] (Japanese); Jonah Scott^[4] (English)

The break ends, but Miyano is unable to find time alone with Sasaki to confess to him. Finally he is able to arrange to walk home with him after school.
