Meet the characters from Sasaki and Miyano

Miyano

Miyano is this adorably anxious fujoshi who lives inside a cloud of blush and quietly spirals over tiny romantic details — like, he notices the way someone tucks their hair and immediately writes whole fanfics in his head. He’s sweet and awkward and endlessly curious, always apologizing but also sneakily bold when it counts (yes he can be fierce, don’t be fooled). He hoards manga and plushies and probably has an emergency stash of candy in his bag, though sometimes he’ll insist he doesn’t like sweets — which is maybe a lie. He’s the kind of person who overthinks everything and then surprises you by being exactly the grounding presence you needed.

Sasaki

Sasaki is the calm, low-key whirlwind who teases Miyano like it’s a sport but, honestly, would protect him with his life (dramatic? maybe, but true). He’s got this effortless charm — a little aloof, very observant, and somehow both childish and steady at the same time; like a cat who also pays your bills. He collects odd little habits (finger twitches, odd playlists) and says the most straightforward things at the weirdest moments, which is probably why he’s so disarming. Also, tiny detail: he likes really terrible late-night TV, which is both endearing and slightly suspicious.

Hanzawa

Hanzawa is loud, bright, and completely unfiltered — the kind of friend who will drag you into a plan five minutes after you say “maybe,” and you’ll be glad he did. He’s hilariously dramatic, loves gossip, and has an unmatched talent for mock outrage (but then he’s the first to step up if someone needs help, no questions). He’s almost always smiling, though sometimes he’s surprisingly deep and actually listens, which catches people off guard. Quirky thing: he’ll swear he hates romantic comedies and then recite one scene perfectly at 3 a.m. because of course he does.

Hirano

Hirano comes off chill and a little absentminded but is secretly the one keeping the social spreadsheet in his head — like, he remembers birthdays, coffee orders, traumatic jokes, you name it. He’s mellow, sarcastic at times, and you can tell he cares without him having to announce it; subtle flex. He does this goofy half-smile when he’s plotting something tiny and sweet, which makes him dangerous in a very cute way. Also, he’ll claim he hates confrontation and then calmly dismantle your argument point by point, so don’t be fooled.

Kuresawa

Kuresawa is the flamboyant commentary engine of the friend group — quick with a roast, faster with a compliment, and somehow always got an outfit that says “watch this.” He’s a mood and a vibe, delights in theatrical reactions, and then will unexpectedly do something incredibly kind and low-key, like bringing soup at midnight. He’s got opinions on everything (including hypothetical show matchups) and will defend them with a dramatic flourish — and then shrug when someone disagrees, acting like nothing bothered him. Small weird fact: he’s terrified of frogs but owns three houseplants that look suspiciously amphibian-adjacent.

Kagiura

Kagiura is the stoic one who hides a surprisingly soft center; at first glance he’s all composure, but he’s got a dry sense of humor that sneaks up on you. He reads rooms like a pro and gives the best low-key advice — you’ll remember it later when it actually helps. He’s oddly meticulous (lists, schedules, color-coded something), yet will randomly show up late because he lost track of time reading a book, which is the cutest contradiction. Also, he secretly likes cheesy board games, and saying that out loud makes him blush just a little.

Tashiro

Tashiro is the adorable awkward energy who means well and is perpetually flustered, especially around people he likes, and it’s both painful and precious. He’s nerdy about the specifics (manga margins, obscure trivia), but also surprisingly brave when pushed — think anxious hero energy. He has a million little tells (voice gets tiny, hands fidget) and then does one very big, confident thing that shocks everyone, including himself. Little random note: he collects keychains for reasons he can’t fully explain, probably emotional.
