Midori Hamanaka

**Midori Hamanaka** (濱中 翠 *Hamanaka Midori*) is a secondary character in the *Confession Executive Committee ~Love Series~*. He first appears as a third year student of Sakuragaoka High School, is a friend of Haruki Serizawa, and the love interest of Sena Narumi.

## Appearance

Midori is a relatively tall boy with messy short hair and a bandage on his cheek that he never takes off for some reason. He has a prominent snaggle tooth on the right side of his mouth that projects outwards, but it's rather small. He also has his left ear pierced.
His sleeves are always pulled up to his elbows, and has his dress shirt is unbuttoned at the top. He wears a green undershirt underneath it, and wears his blazer tied around his waist.
When not in school, he wears large, clunky brown boots.
## Personality and Actions

Midori is described as the type of boy who is energetic and boisterous outside of a relationship, but inside he is more anxious, shy, and delicate. He acknowledges his insecurities when it comes to romance and seeks to become a much "cooler, manlier" person to stand by the person he loves.
### Hobbies

Midori plays guitar in his school's music club. When he graduates from Sakuragaoka, Midori continues to pursue a musical career, writing his own songs and performing in a small-time band as a guitarist and lead singer.
## Relationships

### Sena Narumi

Sena and Midori have mutual crushes on each other, but for the longest time they did not confront each other about it and merely watched each other from their positions on the train. Like Sena, he wanted to properly talk to her, and continuously practiced greeting her in private.
Their interactions truly begin when she's given him umbrella to use during rainfall, marking the first time they truly communicate with each other. He returns the umbrella the following Monday, and after a while he asks to exchange numbers with her, eventually working up to hanging out together on the weekends and then finally dating. Inside of the relationship, while he will support Sena with all his heart, he is the more passive partner.
### Haruki Serizawa

Classmate in 3-2 and fellow Sakuragaoka student. They have been close friends since middle school, enough for them to pick on each other. Haruki is usually one to tease Midori about what he says or does.
### Mona Narumi

His girlfriend's little sister. He comes with Sena to see Mona perform sometimes. Midori was properly introduced to her at the same time as Sena's parents, but he notices that Mona doesn't approve of him. Mona in truth does think that he doesn't live up to how much Sena gushes about him, but since he makes her happy, Mona is okay with him.
## Etymology

## Trivia

* Midori and his debut image song "Kin'youbi no Ohayou" were originally created for Gero, as part of his 2014 appearances on the Japanese television program *Mezamashi TV* for Gero's "Midori ga Madoguchi" corner. His name is derived from the name of the corner.
* He speaks with a *Kansai* dialect and hails from that region before moving to Tokyo, much like Gero. Midori and Gero share other characteristics, such as their height, birthday, and interest in music.
* In Midori's earliest drawings by Yamako, she referred to him as "Kin'youbi-kun" (Friday-kun).
* He is noted to have a poor academic performance pre-high school, and according to Haruki barely qualified for Sakuragaoka.
* Along with Sota Mochizuki and Akari Hayasaka, Midori is one of the few characters as of 2020 who do not have a solo outside of the main/another story line.
