Goro Mori

Often recognized by his classmates as Ko's chubby peer, this eccentric student is famous for his unconventional fashion choices, such as wearing short skirts to school. Driven by a desire to appear more popular, he once fabricated a relationship by hiring Aiko to act as his girlfriend. Although their connection began as a purely transactional arrangement during a trip to the beach, his genuine kindness eventually allows him to win Aiko's affection.
