Yuuto Ayase

An ordinary second-year student at Hakujō Academy, this blunt and solitary protagonist finds his quiet life upended after discovering his classmate Haruka’s secret obsession with anime and manga. As he begins spending more time with her, he faces intense social backlash and judgmental stares from his peers. Living in a largely empty home with his busy parents and older sister, Ruko, he maintains a detached personality and a mediocre commitment to his academic studies.
