Kogure Kawanami

Kogure is a friend and classmate of Mizuto Irido.

He is in Class 1-7 and later advances to Class 2-7.

He has a flashy, casual attitude on the surface but is actually very warm-hearted and caring.

Despite being bad at studying and hovering around failing grades, he blends into any group with ease.

Kogure is lighthearted, talkative, and a bit frivolous, often giving off a "playboy" vibe.

In reality, he is emotionally considerate and quick to look out for his friends.

He is highly skilled at getting along with others and adapting to different social situations.

Thanks to this social adaptability, he quickly becomes part of any group he joins.

Academically, he is consistently underperforming and is almost always at risk of failing.

Even so, he tends to stay upbeat and does not let his grades crush his mood.

Relationship with Mizuto Irido

Kogure is a close friend of Mizuto Irido.

He casually involves himself in Mizuto’s personal life, especially when it comes to romance.

He often comments on Mizuto’s relationships and love-related troubles.

Even though he claims to only watch from the sidelines, he frequently teases Mizuto for his reactions.

Relationship with Yume Irido

Kogure is also a classmate of Yume Irido.

He observes the odd dynamics between Yume and Mizuto with a mixture of amusement and curiosity.

Instead of directly pursuing his own romance, he prefers to watch and poke fun at other people’s love lives.

This behavior reflects his self-proclaimed stance as a romance observer rather than a participant.

Relationship with Akatsuki Minami

Akatsuki Minami is Kogure’s childhood friend.

They live in the same apartment building, in neighboring units.

In elementary school, Kogure and Akatsuki actually dated.

Back then, he used to call her by a cute nickname, showing how close they were.

However, Akatsuki’s intense and excessive affection caused Kogure severe stress.

That stress became so bad that he developed a stomach ulcer, which ultimately led to their breakup.

Because of that extreme experience, his emotional sensitivity around romance is deeply rooted in his past with Akatsuki.

Their history still influences how he reacts to love and clingy behavior.

Relationship with Isana Higashira

Kogure does not get along well with Isana Higashira.

Isana sees him as a shallow, flashy guy who keeps hovering around Mizuto.

From Isana’s perspective, Kogure seems like a suspicious, flirtatious stalker always sticking close to Mizuto.

This misunderstanding creates ongoing friction between them.

Kogure currently suffers from an actual physical reaction to romance.

If a girl directs clear romantic feelings toward him, he develops hives as an allergic-like reaction.

This condition is a lingering consequence of his overwhelming and stressful past relationship with Akatsuki Minami.

Because of that, he avoids being on the receiving end of direct romantic affection.

Paradoxically, he is very interested in romance as an observer.

He enjoys watching other people’s relationships from the sidelines, finding entertainment in how things develop.

He often inserts himself into other people’s love lives with comments, teasing, and running commentary.

He jokingly calls himself a "romance ROM-only user," meaning he only reads and observes, not participates.

Rather than falling in love himself, he prefers to analyze, mock lightly, and enjoy the drama around him.

This unique stance makes him both a comic relief and an unexpected voice of insight in romantic situations.

Kogure is a classmate of Mizuto Irido and Yume Irido in Class 1-7, and then in Class 2-7 the following year.

He typically appears in everyday school settings, interacting casually with his classmates.

He is described as having a "playboy" or "flashy" personality, but his loyalty and emotional warmth balance that image.

When his friends are in trouble, he can be surprisingly serious and supportive.

Academically, he is constantly hovering at red-mark level, meaning he is near failing in most subjects.

Despite this, he maintains a carefree attitude and focuses more on social life than on studying.
