Sakuramoto Kageomi（桜本影臣）

1. He has a sister named Yurie! She’s 4 years older than him and an elementary school teacher.

2. His name sounds like it came straight from a manga and he got teased for it when he was younger. Even now people ask if he’s kidding sometimes.

3. Kageomi has a bunch of gay friends/good acquaintances, and one of the reason for this is his neighbor Takada introducing them to him as potential dating partners (since she thinks he’s gay– not too far off, but also not entirely true). He doesn’t actually know of all of them that they’re gay but it’s fine. He’ll figure it out.

4. His favorite drink is matcha milk tea, but he doesn’t buy it that often. He drinks regular milk tea pretty often though, buying the 2 liter bottles from the supermarket.

5. One of the reasons he got a haircut that has him wear his hair in a bun all the time is because with short hair, his hair becomes very frizzy and poofy when it’s rainy or humid. When he has his hair loose it still happens.

6. He says his favorite season is fall because of the warm colors of the leaves, but when it comes down to it, during fall he’s always complaining when it’s too cold, too hot for the season, or raining, or windy, cloudy…

7. He’s quick to hold a grudge but doesn’t outright hate people very often. People can redeem themselves in his book pretty well, but he’s also very likely to dislike people just because a friend dislikes them too, with no further explanation.

8. His first girlfriend asked him out first. Sadly, she only dated him because she liked his friend instead and could get closer to him that way, so it didn’t last very long.

9. He sticks to people he looks up to very quickly and is very loyal to those people.

10. He doesn’t have that many close friends, but he does have a decent amount of good acquaintances. He gets many acquaintances from hiking, which he joined a group for to meet up and hike together since going by himself would be dangerous.

Sakurai Chie（桜井千愛）

1. She wears a lot of pink because she likes the aesthetic, the Drama, and because it fits her name, but her favorite color is turquoise.

2. Sakurai never liked the feeling of commitment and responsibility being in a relationship gave her, so she hasn’t had as many girlfriends as she’d like people to think.

3. Her occupation is pharmaceutical scientist (she develops medicine).

4. Sakurai doesn’t really like cooking herself and has absolutely tried to pass off restaurant food as her own.

5. She has some very specific knowledge about random things because she was always bored to death in school and would rip pages from informative books to secretly study them in class instead of what she was supposed to be doing. Lawful rebellion. The books may or may not have always been hers.

6. She’s not big on being very sappy with her wife, but being around Tsubaki actually makes her feel less restless and more peaceful. She does enjoy the sense of security it brings.

7. Sakurai gets motion sickness sometimes, and especially hates elevators with a burning passion. This is also because she hates the waiting time and being trapped in a small space with a bunch of gross people.

8. Sakurai knows Hiriki likes raspberry-flavored things but also loves it herself so any attempts to be nice and giving him some food eventually results in her stealing it back.

9. One of her favorite pastimes is visiting Waki’s bar and telling the customers outrageous rumors about the elusive bar owner, like how he studied in France and he inherited his three dogs from his late multimillionaire mistress who lived there.

10. She knows Kageomi through their mutual hobby of taking care of plants. She says they’re friends, he doesn’t entirely agree, but they hang out sometimes.

Hiriki Hi（日力飛）

1. Despite being bad at social media, Hiriki has some online friends through his cat’s twitter account. They’ve never met up, but they message each other sometimes.

2. Sakurai has asked him to cook for her when she has guests over so often he started telling her to pay him money for it. She actually does.

3. Hiriki has nightmares about losing people dear to him or being all alone, but as he gets older he gets nightmares about leaving others behind too. His occupation is risky, and imagining Kaoru or their kids broken-hearted after his death gets to him.

4. Another kind of sad one: because his husband spends so much more time with the kids, Hiriki having a full-time job with additional work at home, and a secondary job that means he’s away for occasionally weeks on end, he feels like he’s intruding in his own family sometimes. He’s scared his kids won’t care about him anymore.

5. Despite his still kind of serious personality, as he gets older he mellows out a bit, and doesn’t frown as often anymore. It makes him look more approachable, and he even gets small laugh lines in the corners of his eyes.

6. He only has one problem with Kaoru being a stay-at-home dad, and that’s that if they were co-workers, he wouldn’t have to miss him at work :(

7. He uses his powers to play with Hiino sometimes, sitting on the wall or the ceiling. Hiino also loves lying on his chest while Hiriki sits on the wall. Hiino likes feeling tall.

8. Because he’s had combat training he’s kind of scared he’ll reflexively deflect someone’s hand when they try to catch his attention or something similar sometime and embarrass himself.

9. He got his tramp stamp when he was a student, as a dare. It was either that or piercing his ears, and he opted for the tattoo. His friends were so sure he’d go for the earrings they’d already bought some for him, and he still has them somewhere buried beneath old stuff. You know those flat black earrings that guys either wear when they’re gay or when they’re straight and think wearing earrings like that won’t make them look too gay? Those.
