Kuresawa Tasuku

* Anime
* Manga

**Kuresawa Tasuku** (暮沢 丞) is one of the main supporting characters of Sasaki and Miyano.

## Appearance

Kuresawa has short black hair and wears rectangular, dark glasses. Though he is not as bothered by his height as Miyano, he does admit he would like to hit 175cm.

He usually wears his school uniform without a tie and with a sweater.

## Personality

Kuresawa can be described best as the most perceptive of them all, quickly picking up on Sasaki and Miyano's feelings for each other without being told. However, being stoic and patient, he never addresses his suspicions, allowing them to figure it out on their own.

He is very dedicated to his girlfriend, claiming that his life is for her sake. However, he is still very thoughtful and respectful towards other people's feelings. Open minded and easy to talk to, he is shown to not be shy about starting conversations with upperclassmen.

## Relationships

### Fujimi Yuki

Kuresawa's girlfriend, who he can hardly talk enough about. They were classmates during middle school, but they had not spoken to each other until Fujimi was too sick to attend a field trip. When visiting her with their classmates in the hospital, Kuresawa claims that her smile when he gave her a souvenir was what made him fall for her.

Kuresawa does everything to entertain her, due to her frequent hospitalizations. He often sends her pictures of Miyano and Sasaki talking with each other, and later he also asks Miyano for BL manga suggestions to buy for Fujimi, sometimes accompanying Miyano to bookstores.

Her name was revealed in the Sasaki and Miyano - First Years novel.

### Miyano Yoshikazu

Kuresawa's classmate and close friend. Originally fellow classmates, Kuresawa and Miyano got to know each other more after Kuresawa got into a fight with some other students during after-school duties, and Miyano helped him. Kuresawa was very grateful, with the two ending up talking about Kuresawa's girlfriend and later Miyano's interest in BL and becoming closer. Initially with not a lot to bond over beside school life, Kuresawa becomes a silent supporter for Miyano and Sasaki and always has Miyano's back when he is needed. Kuresawa is shown to be aware of Miyano's developing feelings towards Sasaki, but never actively comments on it, showing his support in his own subtle ways and creating chances for the both of them to be together.

### Tashiro Gonzaburou

Kuresawa's classmate and friend. Tashiro's and Kuresawa's friendship usually revolves around Tashiro accidentally asking Kuresawa questions about his girlfriend, and then having to listen to his babbling for hours. Their friendship also has a teasing note to it, for instance Tashiro accidentally complimenting Kuresawa on being a good boyfriend or being handsome and having a great character.

### Sasaki Shuumei

Kuresawa's senior in school. When Kuresawa got into a fight with other students during his first year, Sasaki stepped in to save him. Though they did not particularly bond over it, as time progressed and Sasaki's and Miyano's friendship deepened, Kuresawa and Sasaki also began to talk with each other. Being aware of Sasaki's feelings for Miyano, Kuresawa considers them comrades to some extent and thus tries to be respectful of them.
