Miyano Yoshikazu/Relationships

## Sasaki Shuumei

   The relationship between Sasaki and Miyano is the main driving force behind the story. Sasaki's junior by a year, Miyano initially thought of him as a charming, rakish upperclassman who he admired, despite being slightly intimidated by him (and soon after, seeking distance from him). They first learn of each other when Sasaki stopped Miyano from stepping in and saved Kuresawa from being beat up. A few months later, their friendship begins in earnest when Sasaki borrows one of Miyano's BL manga, leading to a relationship of them talking about BL together.

Being indecisive to a fault, Miyano admires Sasaki's courage and thinks of him as a cool senior, though as time passes by, these feelings eventually evolve into something more.

## Kuresawa Tasuku

Kuresawa is one of Miyano's classmates. After the incident when Kuresawa got beat up at school, the two of them got to know each other and became friends, sharing friendly banter. Kuresawa often comes to Miyano for suggestions for BL manga to give as gifts to his girlfriend, though he also sends her pictures or stories of Sasaki and Miyano. Kuresawa is supportive of both Miyano and his relationship with Sasaki, being one to assist them without being obvious.

## Tashiro Gonzaburou

Tashiro is another of Miyano's classmates. Tashiro initially thought Miyano was a girl and still jokingly comments about his appearance, but the two are good friends regardless. Tashiro is aware of Miyano's interest in BL manga, and though he does not understand it, he holds no judgement against it.

## Hirano Taiga

Hirano is one of Miyano's seniors in the Disciplinary Committee, and the person he calls for help when witnessing a bullying incident. Initially Miyano is awkward around Hirano, but when Miyano confesses his behavior was because he had been imagining Hirano in BL situations and Hirano offers to hear him out, the two of them quickly grow into a relatively close senior-junior friendship. Hirano is somewhat protective of Miyano and comes to his aid whenever Miyano needs it, though he loosens up when he sees how close Sasaki and Miyano become.

## Hanzawa Masato

Hanzawa is one of Miyano's seniors and President of the Disciplinary Committee. While not very close, they are friendly, Hanzawa often gently teases Miyano over things like his height. Hanzawa is eager to assist Miyano when he can, and clearly cares for his junior.

## Ogasawara Jirou

Ogasawara is one of Miyano's seniors. Knowing each other through mutual acquaintances, while they start off on the wrong foot due to Ogasawara's prejudices against BL, Miyano recognizes that Ogasawara is not difficult to talk to and even gives Ogasawara advice when he fights with his BL-loving girlfriend.

## Makimura Nao

Makimura was Miyano's classmate in junior high school, and his former crush. While they were initially on good terms, after Makimura suggested Miyano crossdress, Miyano, believing she was making fun of him, gradually cut off contact with her, it was not until their reunions after some time that the confusion was cleared up.

## Miyano Yuki (Mother)

As an only child, Miyano bears a striking resemblance to his mother. He seems to have a good relationship with his mother as well as having a strong bond of trust, to the point of revealing that he is dating a "senpai"; despite so, she is not against it and even wants to meet him.

His mother showed support to Miyano's relationship, telling him "if he's in love, he's cute, right?," leaving Miyano relieved.
