Description
Georgie is the English name used for the character Toru Kazama in the Funimation English dub of the anime. He is a young boy and a classmate of the main character, Shin. Portrayed as immaculately groomed and perfectly mannered, Georgie is often seen as an elite student who takes his studies and reputation very seriously. He attends various extracurricular activities, such as English conversation lessons, and generally acts like a know-it-all, which can sometimes make him appear snobbish or stuck-up. His strengths lie in academic and disciplined areas, including calligraphy, mathematics, and sports.
Despite his outward appearance of maturity and composure, Georgie has a hidden, more vulnerable side. He has a secret fondness for anime and manga aimed at girls, particularly those featuring magical girl characters, though he goes to great lengths to hide this interest from his friends. He also exhibits an unusual strong attachment to his mother signifying an Oedipus Complex.
Georgies primary role in the story is that of a straight man to Shins chaotic and bizarre behavior. As the most sensible and conservative member of their friend group, he frequently loses his nerves and composure when subjected to Shins antics, which include acting romantically affectionate towards him and playfully blowing in his ear. Often, Georgie tries to cultivate relationships with classy or upper-class girls his own age to elevate his social standing. However, his plans are almost always ruined when Shin appears in a strange and classless manner, causing the girl to lose all interest.
Despite his constant frustration and being mistaken for gay by Shin, Georgies friendship with him is surprisingly close and serves as a central part of his character development. At times when Georgie is extremely frustrated, lonely, or in peril, Shin proves to be his most faithful and reliable companion. For example, during a storyline where his family falls from the top of the social and financial ladder, this relationship becomes particularly significant. In moments of true crisis, he often bravely protects his bond with Shin.
A notable ability of Georgie is his wide range of practical knowledge and skills. He is proficient in English, calligraphy, math, and sports, showcasing his academically gifted nature. In the Funimation English dub, his character is heavily Americanized and redefined. He is portrayed as an absurdly hawkish, ultra-conservative Republican, often given the full name Georgie Herbert Walker Prescott III, to satirize a privileged political family.
