Character Visuals & Cast Comments

Yu Hatanaka as Eiji Busujima
A freshman at Karai High School. He belongs to the literature club. He is Nanako's classmate. He is often misunderstood because of his coquettish appearance, but in fact he is a kind-hearted and pleasant boy.

<Cast Comments
He is really just a little scary with his face. Other than that, he is a really kind guy. He is a little clumsy, but... (laughs)
(laughs) I hope I can play him with that kind of gentleness, or rather, that I can put it into my performance. I will do my best.
