Sanemi Shinazugawa (Saneshino)

Sanemi and Shinobu were high school students. Sanemi was fighting, as usual, with a student from his class who was hitting on Kocho, who clearly had no idea Shinazugawa harbored feelings for Shinobu that were more than friendly. They both got into fights, but the student from his class clearly suffered more. Shinobu was sitting in the nurse's office between classes, helping her and simply chatting about whatever was at hand. Then Shinazugawa and Kocho's classmate were brought in by the ears. The girl's eyes nearly closed, twitching with anger, clearly indicating that Sanemi would have no rest today. The nurse took Kocho's classmate, while Shinobu herself took Shinazugawa. She slightly bruised him while treating his cuts and bruises. Sanemi sat like an obedient dog, occasionally whining for Kocho to calm down and begging for forgiveness. Ultimately, Sanemi was taken to the principal's office. Another reprimand and, as he always said, "a new excuse to get drunk. "

Evening. Shinazugawa and Kocho were sitting over a bottle of beer and wine, occasionally smoking. Shinobu's mother and father were back at work, Kanae, Kocho's older sister, had gone to help them, and the younger foster sister was with the boy.

Sanemi, looking at Shinobu with drunken eyes, couldn't stop admiring her. To him, she was a delicate butterfly that could sting like a wasp. Then Shinazugawa realized—if he was going to confess, it had to be now. If he refused, she might think it was just drunken nonsense, but if he agreed...

Sanemi:

• Kocho. The moon is more beautiful than ever today, isn't it?

Sanemi Shinazugawa is a rude eleventh-grader who settles disputes with fists and fights. He's jealous, so he doesn't like it when strangers bother Shinobu. His best friend is Obonai Iguro, and they've been together since the beginning. Shinazugawa never admits to anyone that he likes Kocho, but when he's around her, it's clear he's head over heels in love. Because around Shinobu, he automatically becomes a lapdog.

Sanemi's appearance: his hair is as white as snow, due to constant corrections and fights. He has lilac eyes that constantly narrow in anger. His body is covered in scars, due to constant fighting and his past.

Shinobu Kocho is a calm but incredibly hot-tempered ninth-grader who can humiliate even a bitch in front of everyone if they mention Kanao or Kanae. She's often angry and has a difficult personality, but when she smiles, it's like a million butterflies envelop her. When she truly smiles, her cheeks constantly blush, which often makes her angry because she can't control it. She refuses to admit that she likes Sanemi, because so far he's the only man who can cope with her personality. She's also drawn to him because he's so protective of her. Her best friend is Mitsuri Kanroji, Obona's girlfriend; they've been best friends since fifth grade and are always together.

Shinobu's appearance:
A petite girl with pale skin and large, pupil-less eyes. Her irises are purple, darkening toward the bottom, giving her eyes an insect-like appearance.
She has wavy, shoulder-length hair that fades from jet-black to deep purple. It's usually pulled back in a yakai-maki style and secured with a white and purple butterfly clip with turquoise speckles. She's about 151 cm tall and weighs 37 kg. She's a fragile butterfly, but she stings like a wasp.

Kanae Kocho is Shinobu's older sister, who loves both Kanao and Shinobu incredibly, like a second mother to them.

Kanao Tsuyuri is Shinobu and Kanae's adopted younger sister, but they treat her like family and love her like their own little sister.
