Ryuuto Kashima

Ryuuto Kashima is the main male protagonist of the series.

Appearance
Ryuuto is a second-year in high school with average looks but good enough grades, lives trying not to draw unnecessary attention to himself. Kashima lacks self-confidence in pretty much everything about himself. This is further fueled by an incident during his days in middle school, making him too self-conscious of other people's opinions and gossip.

Personality
Ryuuto is a normal high school student. He is rather weak in situations that stress him out, but he is strong willed and usually manages to pull out of predicaments because of plot. Despite calling himself a "gloomy guy" and self-deprecating quite often, Kashima is a serious guy when it comes to his studies, managing to keep his grades on the safe side. His strongest subject is English. He also cares a lot about his friends, to the point of going with their silly antics. Kashima is the type of guy who keeps his word and feels guilty when he doesn't.

Background
Kashima has admired Shirakawa since the first year and got the lucky break of moving to the same class as her during the second year, turning simple admiration into a one-sided crush. Kashima never hoped to get more than that and was happy with keeping the status-quo
