Saku Natsusawa

🏫 Rintarou and his friends' school:
→ Chidori Public School — an all-boys school known for its reputation for having problematic students.

🌸 Kaoruko and her friends' school:
→ Kikyo Private Academy for Girls — an elite, traditional school for girls from noble/wealthy families.

The two schools are right next to each other, but they have a very strong rivalry and prejudice between them.

🖤 ​​How Saku would be in love

He doesn't show anything at first: he maintains the same serious expression, speaks little, and acts as if nothing has changed. On the outside he seems cold and indifferent, but inside he's all messed up and nervous.
​
Pay attention to every detail: remember exactly what she likes, what she said, what makes her happy or sad—things that no one else notices. Keep it all quiet.
​

• He takes care of her without drawing attention: he leaves something she needs somewhere, protects her without making a scene, stays discreetly nearby to ensure she's okay. He never brags about what he does.
  ​
• He feels awkward around her: sometimes he looks away, speaks a little more quietly, or even stumbles over his words. He gets tense, afraid of saying something wrong and ruining everything.
  ​
  He hopes she'll realize it on her own: he doesn't have the courage to declare his feelings. He stays quiet, hoping that one day she'll see, through his silent gestures, how much he loves her.
  ​
• When he opens up: if she makes the first move or shows that she also feels something, he reveals a sweet, loyal, and caring side — just for her.

• Saku Natsusawa — the most reserved and intelligent of the group, excellent in his studies — Shouhei Usami — very cheerful, smiling, and full of energy — Ayato Yorita — calm and observant, completing the group of four friends
