Haré is the male protagonist of Haré+Guu, a boy who lives in the jungle and serves as the series' nearly sole straight man amid its constant absurdity.
Gender: Male
Age at first appearance: 10
Age by New, Volume 7: 14
Haré is a jungle boy whose everyday life is defined by chaos, mostly because of Guu and the bizarre people around him.
As a result, he has become unusually thoughtful, responsible, and good at taking care of others for someone his age.
When he met Alan in the past, Alan remarked that Haré seemed more like a man nearing thirty than a child.
That maturity is one of his most distinctive traits, and it comes directly from the nonstop trouble in his life.
He is also the story's main voice of reason.
In a cast full of eccentrics, Haré is the one most likely to react with disbelief, frustration, and sharp commentary.
Haré is practical, observant, and far more level-headed than the people around him.
Even so, he is not cold; beneath his exasperation, he is deeply caring and emotionally loyal.
His patience is constantly tested, but he keeps trying to look after others anyway.
That mix of irritation and kindness is a major part of his charm.
He is aware that he is popular with women, but he does not take much pride in it.
The reason is simple: the women drawn to him often have dangerously unstable personalities.
Clive once noted that Haré has a tendency to attract women who are "a little dangerous."
That pattern seems to hold true no matter the situation.
Haré is a major video game enthusiast.
He owns almost every game console.
Because he has entered Guu's body many times, he has also gained the ability to understand foreign languages.
This strange skill is one of the more unusual side effects of his experiences with her.
Haré is very bad at handling alcohol, and he also becomes troublesome when drunk.
When Guu's prank caused him to drink by accident, he got intoxicated almost immediately and went on a rampage.
Unfortunately for him, he is the type who clearly remembers what happened while completely drunk.
Once he sobers up, he ends up regretting everything intensely.
Marie
Haré and Marie have mutual feelings for each other.
Later, they officially become a couple.
Six years after Guu disappeared, Haré marries Marie.
By the final chapter, they have a child whose face closely resembles Guu's.
Guu
Guu is the central source of Haré's hardships and frustrations.
Much of his maturity exists because of the overwhelming absurdity she brings into his life.
In Episode 80 of Haré+Guu, when Guu disappeared, Haré was the only person in the world who still remembered that she had ever existed.
He deeply mourned her absence.
Weda
Haré's mother, Weda, is excessively sloppy and irresponsible.
He does not regard her as especially admirable as a person.
Even so, he is grateful that she raised him by herself, and he loves her deeply.
Guu even teases him by calling him a mama's boy.
Clive
Haré has a poor relationship with his biological father, Clive.
Their personalities clash, and because they had no contact for about ten years, Haré addresses him stiffly as "the school doctor" rather than "father."
When Ame was born, the two briefly tried to change their attitudes and get along.
The attempt lasted only a few panels before both developed stress-induced stomach ulcers, vomited blood, and collapsed.
Haré is naturally attractive to women, and he knows it.
However, he does not boast about it because the attention he receives is rarely from emotionally safe people.
In a world where Guu reverses everyone's sex, female Haré is pursued by many men.
This suggests that Haré is popular with the opposite sex in either world.
