SkunkyArt | kimitama — TLC: Akifuji Satsuki

Akifuji Hazuki: His older sister, who's attending the local public school unless I decide to make her an NPC, lol because she failed the entrance exam into Furano (to literally nobody's surprise). While excessively lazy and messy, she nevertheless fawns over her little brother, and is constantly putting him into a headlock while weeping about what a "good kid" he is. As hard as she tries to get him to call her Oneesama, he keeps addressing her as "aneki" like some kind of rough gangster. At home, she's very responsible for him, despite all pretense; they make dinner and play games together.

Kirimori Shotaro: They've been friends ever since Satsuki asked to borrow paper every day for the first week of elementary school, ate his entire lunch, and proceeded to throw a mandarin orange at the back of one of Shotaro's bullies' head. (They both proceeded to get the shit kicked out of them, but the strongest manly friendships are formed with your faces shoved in the dirt.) Although he doesn't show it, he can be detrimentally protective, and mentions once in a while that Shotaro is "gentle" and "delicate, like a tissue".

Sato Eiko: The hyperactive girl who sits next to him. She's good at languages, and likes to make it her business to correct his schoolwork, so he thinks Eiko's a Cool Sensei®. He will set himself on fire before he admits this. He still doesn't know what her actual name is, so he keeps cycling through words that sound like "Sato" (mostly Natto and Tomato, though).

Watanabe Yoko: Yoko was his sister's best friend in junior high, and by chance they both ended up at Furano. One could assume they're acquainted, but this would be using the term loosely: every time Yoko came over, he stared at her in petrified, thirteen-year-old silence and communicated in nods and monosyllables. He found her emo punk phase simultaneously cool and extremely intimidating.
