Mitsuya Takanashi

Once a charming but arrogant high schooler, this popular student initially used deceit to pursue Iroha Igarashi. Driven by intense jealousy toward his rival, Tsutsui, he even orchestrated malicious rumors to ruin Hikari’s reputation. However, faced with the consequences of his cruelty, he eventually sought redemption through a sincere apology. As he integrates into Hikari’s social circle, he evolves from a manipulative antagonist into a more genuine friend, even struggling with hidden, tsundere-like feelings for Arisa Ishino.
