### **Supporting Characters**

#### **Enjou Shuusuke** (円城 秀介)

Enjou Shuusuke is Masaya's childhood and current friend. He is one of the few people who could speak with Masaya on even terms and can even rebuke him.

Being a person filled with independence, she stood her ground against her parents when she graduated from university, and decided on her own to go overseas to look for work in an American company. Masaya lent his help in convincing them.

When Yurie was about to leave for America, he said, “If you ever need me, I’ll always come to help. No matter where you are, Yurie”. She is somebody who would always be special to him.

## Known Events

* The story begins when the protagonist Takamichi Wakaba entered the high school section. [c2]

* Takamichi Wakaba had no idea that certain seats in the cafeteria were Pivoine exclusive. During a busy lunchtime with few available vacant seats, she and a group of friends tried to sit down there, displeasing the Pivoine. [c43]

* Suzushino Yurie told Kaburagi Masaya: ‘I can’t see you as anything other than a brother, so I can’t answer your feelings’ or something. Kaburagi had still replied “No! I won’t give up!” and was pretty persistent about it. In the very end though, Yurie-sama wouldn’t take back her words, for both their sakes. [c103]

## Differences between the original manga and the Kenkyo Kenjitsu world

* Kaburagi Masaya never went on any journey in the manga, and he should have been rejected by Suzushino Yurie after he was a little closer with Takamichi Wakaba. [c102]
* Emperor in the manga would absolutely never have had such a deviant-level of passion towards cavalry battles, nor was he some weirdo athletics carnival maniac who would criticize others over their lack of animal noses for the costume race.
* Enjou Shuusuke was a kind and gentle person who watched over Emperor and Wakaba, and is not a scheming bastard.
* In the manga, Enjou Shuusuke sported a honey-brown hair instead of the black hair he is currently wearing.
* Takamichi Wakaba became a little bit of a dope in the present.
* Kisshouin Takateru, Momozono Imari and Tomoe Senju did not appear in the manga.
* Takamichi Wakaba did not become the Vice President of the Student Council in the manga. She was already hated by everyone by the time she entered 2nd Year, so it wasn’t possible to begin with.
