Kou Mabuchi

Kou stands at 5'9", a solid presence with a charming past. Back in middle school, he was the guy everyone adored, especially Futaba, with whom he started to forge a sweet connection. But life threw a curveball when he suddenly moved away mid-year—thanks to his parents’ divorce. Now, he’s settled in with his dad, after a stint living with his mom. Fast forward to high school, and he’s back around Futaba, but with a new last name. Though he tries to play it cool and distant, hints of his softer side start to sneak through, especially when it comes to her.
