Plot

Characters

• Tsuyoshi Yano (矢野剛)
• A very clumsy boy who often ends up injured. He wears a blindfold over his right eye and is notably handsome. Yoshida immediately takes an interest in him because of his frequent injuries and offers to treat him, and he gradually develops a strong affection for her as she continues to care for him, with the two eventually beginning to date. Although he starts off surprisingly confident and direct around Yoshida, he becomes increasingly embarrassed and flustered as he realizes his feelings for her, showing jealousy or being harmlessly petty about small things. Despite his clumsiness, he is extremely kind, enjoys helping others, and is very skilled at drawing, as well as, occasionally does or says things that come across surprisingly cool, which often leave Yoshida and Hashiba flustered. He carries trauma from an accident in junior high that changed the color of his right eye, which led him to hide it behind an eyepatch after classmates began talking about it. A classmate once convinced him to remove the eyepatch, saying his eyes were beautiful, but after an incident where the two of them were injured, rumors spread that looking into his eye would curse people, reinforcing his insecurity. Over time, however, his new friends—especially Yoshida—help him feel happier and less insecure, allowing him to finally experience a normal and fulfilling school life.
• Kiyoko Yoshida (吉田清子)
• Yoshida is the class representative and Yano’s girlfriend, who first becomes interested in him because of his constant injuries, clumsiness, and unusual charm. Kind, caring, and responsible, she frequently treats his wounds and looks after him, gradually developing strong feelings for him before the two eventually confess and begin dating. Although dependable, her grades are surprisingly mediocre, and she often overthinks things involving Yano, while occasionally becoming jealous or defensive over him. She is close friends with Yuzukawa, Tanaka, Hashiba and Izumi, as well as helps care for her two younger siblings. Yoshida was the first person to help Yano open up about his insecurities, especially regarding his right eye, telling him that it is beautiful once she sees it. Around him she shows a very sweet and affectionate side, sometimes making him lunch, getting flustered when he does something impressive, and putting extra effort into her appearance when they go on dates together, supporting him and helping him feel more confident and enjoy a normal school life.
• Yūdai Hashiba (羽柴雄大)
• A capable, intelligent, and somewhat serious student who plays on the school’s baseball team. He has a strong crush on Yoshida, but finds himself too late as she begins dating Yano, leaving him in a conflicted position. Although Yano is technically his rival, Hashiba genuinely likes and respects him for his kindness, often worrying about his injuries and wanting to help take care of him. This creates a humorous situation where he both supports and competes with Yano, sometimes feeling awkward or frustrated when his own actions end up helping him. He was the one who lent Yano a romance manga series, which unintentionally helped Yano realize his feelings for Yoshida. Hashiba is childhood friends with Izumi, who often tries to help him deal with his complicated feelings and he may have subtle feelings for her. He tends to get flustered whenever Yano unexpectedly does something cool.
• Izumi (泉)
• A cheerful and lighthearted girl who is childhood friends with Hashiba and close friends with Yoshida and Yuzukawa. She is very good at getting people to open up and naturally lifts the mood around her. At first she tries to help Hashiba pursue Yoshida, but eventually focuses on helping him come to terms with his feelings after Yoshida begins dating Yano. She quietly has a crush on Hashiba herself. Her carefree attitude even inspires Yoshida to briefly imitate her relaxed approach to things, though Yoshida quickly realizes she cannot quite keep up with it. She also helps Yoshida with her makeup and appearance when preparing for dates. Like the others, she gets worried when Yano gets hurt often.
• Mei Yuzukawa (柚川メイ)
• A calm and somewhat nonchalant girl who is Yoshida’s best friend and one of the more laid-back members of the group. Although she can appear a little detached at times, she is very observant and clearly cares about Yoshida, quickly noticing that Yano makes her happier and more relaxed. Academically very smart, she supports Yoshida from the start and encourages her relationship with Yano. She loves food and is frequently seen spending time with Tanaka. Like the others, she also worries whenever Yano gets hurt.
• Haruto Tanaka (田中晴人)
• A somewhat eccentric member of the friend group who often seems to drift in and out of conversations, casually dropping odd or amusing remarks before moving on as if nothing happened. He can appear dense and a bit absent-minded, but his laid-back personality often adds humor to the group. Despite this, he clearly cares about his friends, sometimes suggesting ideas for everyone to hang out and worrying about Yano like the others. He also loves food and is often seen spending time with Yuzukawa.
• Yano's father (矢野父)
• A kind and somewhat clumsy man who shares many of Yano’s traits. He is warm and easygoing, often looking out for those around him. He is also one of the first to notice Yoshida’s feelings for Yano and gently encourages her not to give up, explaining that Yano is not used to that sort of attention and often lives in his own world.
• Mr. Omiya (大宮先生)
• Omiya is the class’s homeroom teacher, a kind, capable, and caring adult who looks after his students well. Like much of the class, he often worries about Yano getting hurt and keeps an eye on him. He is approachable and easygoing, often playing along with the students while also stepping in to help when they need guidance or support.
• Okamoto (岡本)
• Okamoto is Yano’s friend from junior high who once encouraged him to remove his eyepatch, telling him that his eyes were beautiful. After an incident in which the two of them were injured, rumors about Yano’s eye spread and he began avoiding her to prevent her from getting hurt again, which deeply hurt her as she did not understand why he suddenly distanced himself. She later transfers to the same high school, where they meet again. With Yoshida and the others helping Yano realize that pushing people away only hurts them more, the two reconcile and she eventually joins their friend group.
