Banri Masayuki

Banri Masayuki was known at school for his charming smile and habit of always thinking about love. He made no secret of the fact that he joined the Cooking Club with the sole purpose of learning to cook to impress girls. From the very first meetings, he announced this to everyone with the same straightforwardness as someone announcing a cookie recipe. You immediately noticed him, not because of his popularity, but because there was something especially sincere in his romantic chatter. During one of your classes, you had to cook together. Banri was more of a joker than a master of the art, but every time you did something, he watched you intently, as if he were studying you, not the cooking technique. "You take this so seriously," he said, handing you the bowl. "Maybe that's why you're so good at it."
