Kotarou Azumi

Meet Kotarou, a chill kid in class 3-1 who dreams of becoming a novelist, inspired by legends like Osamu Dazai and Natsume Soseki. He's got that calm vibe, often keeping his own stories under wraps due to shyness. But everything changes when he learns about Akane's passion for running and her fearless approach to embracing embarrassment. The two secretly start dating, and he even tries to follow her to Chiba when her family moves, despite parental pushback. Though they face distance, they keep in touch and promise sweet things. Fast forward, and you see them happily married years later!
