Oushi Ashioki

Meet Yuki’s childhood buddy, the kind of guy who’s always had her back. He picked up sign language just for her, and he’s become pretty fluent over the years. They’ve shared countless memories growing up, and he knows her better than anyone. Lately, though, he’s been feeling a bit uneasy about her relationship with Itsuomi. It’s tough watching her with someone else, especially since he’s secretly head over heels for her. He’s that loyal friend who’s always there, just a bit torn between wanting her happiness and wishing she could see he’s the one for her.
