Melt Narushima

Introduced in Chapter 2 "Entertainment Industry" as a first-year high school student. An actor and model, favored by producer Masaya Kaburagi for his good looks and voice, but is a poor actor. Realizing his attractiveness during middle school after being forcefully approached by a senior, he entered the entertainment industry accustomed to being praised and living carelessly. In Chapter 2, he stars in the web drama "Sweet Today" alongside Kana-Arima'>Kana Arima, portraying a rookie actor with poor acting skills and a bad attitude. Despite disappointing Kana with his lackluster performance in the climax of the final episode, he delivers a convincing performance when provoked by the antagonist Aqua, successfully making the final episode's highlight scene. Initially depicted as a minor character, he reappears in Chapter 5 "2.5D Stage Edition" with a more central role, starring again with Aqua and Kana in the 2.5D stage play "Tokyo Blade." Reflecting on his past, he regrets not taking "Sweet Today" seriously from the start, believing it could have been better. He strives to redeem himself in the eyes of the original author of "Sweet Today," Yoriko Kichijouji, by showing growth as an actor. Despite struggling with the skill gap between him and his co-stars, he focuses on delivering a powerful performance with a secret strategy from Aqua, contributing to the success of the stage play.
