♀ f

The protagonist’s cousin, a female teacher. She comes across as a bit stern with her hair pulled back tightly, glasses, and a tight-fitting suit. She’s what you’d call a “cool beauty.” She’s in her late 20s, strict with both others and herself, and the protagonist has always felt he couldn’t stand ... read more

The protagonist’s cousin, a female teacher. She comes across as a bit stern with her hair pulled back tightly, glasses, and a tight-fitting suit. She’s what you’d call a “cool beauty.” She’s in her late 20s, strict with both others and herself, and the protagonist has always felt he couldn’t stand up to her. That said, she genuinely cares about him; even though she lectures him on all sorts of things, she also has a kind side that shows through when she cooks for him or helps with cleaning.

A waitress at the coffee shop “Purun.” She’s a lovely young woman with a laid-back personality who’s always smiling. Naturally, she’s the shop’s idol, and she has many fans who come just to see her.

In her mid-20s, she’s extremely fastidious and hates so-called “playboys.” Naturally, the protagonist... read more

She’s the only daughter of a local shrine, serving as both a miko and a housekeeper. She almost exclusively wears traditional Japanese clothing, a true “Yamato Nadeshiko,” which is rare these days. In her mid-20s, she’s extremely fastidious and hates so-called “playboys.” Naturally, the protagonist falls into that category, and she despises him like the plague in the early stages of the story. Although she has a gentle nature, she’s strong-willed and absolutely refuses to compromise.

Her uniform consists of a long-skirted nurse’s uniform and an apron. She is a seasoned nurse at a general hospital, overflowing with a spirit of compassion that makes her seem like an angel. She works in the surgical ward and is immensely popular with patients. In her mid-20s, she is so devoted to ... read more

Her uniform consists of a long-skirted nurse’s uniform and an apron. She is a seasoned nurse at a general hospital, overflowing with a spirit of compassion that makes her seem like an angel. She works in the surgical ward and is immensely popular with patients. In her mid-20s, she is so devoted to nursing and serving with a pure smile, that people say nursing is truly her calling. She’s like a nun, and it seems she’s devoted her entire life to this job—there’s not even a hint of a boyfriend, let alone any plans to get married.
