Description
Mizuto Irido possesses black hair, brown eyes, and often wears a deadpan expression reflecting his limited interests beyond reading. His casual appearance leans towards comfort, though he cleans up attractively. Others frequently note his "baby-like" facial features as contributing to a cute impression.
Academically gifted, he consistently ranks at the top of his class, particularly excelling in Japanese literature. He achieves double-digit placements in national mock exams, signaling high university potential. His academic rivalry with his stepsister, Yume Irido, involves competing for the highest grades. Personality-wise, he is introverted with a strong preference for solitude. A dedicated bookworm, he has read extensively across genres since childhood. This stems from a motherless childhood where pity led him to avoid social interactions and resent sympathy.
Born on November 3 in Kyoto City, his mother died during childbirth. Raised solely by his father, Mineaki Irido, his childhood remained uneventful until middle school. He then met Yume Ayai (later Yume Irido) in a library. Bonding over shared interests in books, they began dating after her confession during summer vacation. Their relationship ended at graduation due to mutual misunderstandings and emotional distance—Yume misinterpreted his interaction with another girl as infidelity, while he grew possessive as her social skills improved.
Shortly after their breakup, his father married Yume's mother, Yuni Irido, merging their households and making Yume his stepsister, a development neither anticipated. To avoid complicating their parents' marriage, they established a "sibling rule": whoever shows romantic interest first must accept the role of younger sibling. Despite this agreement, they frequently engage in competitive banter and maintain underlying romantic tension.
Key relationships include Yume Irido, where their dynamic blends residual romantic feelings with sibling rivalry; he supports her discreetly, masking concern with sarcasm. Isana Higashira is his first friend outside Yume, bonding over books; their interactions involve unconventional closeness, like her resting her head on his lap, unsettling Yume. Kogure Kawanami, a self-proclaimed friend, teases him about Yume, his extroverted nature contrasting with Mizuto's reserve. Akatsuki Minami, initially distrusted due to her interference, later becomes a reconciled friend. He respects his father and stepmother, accepting Yuni's maternal care despite occasional teasing about his romantic life.
Notable habits include rubbing his nape while thinking and wearing blue-light glasses during screen use. His name combines "water" (水) and "dipper" (斗), reflecting a calm, contained nature. He and Yume share a birthday, with her born 30 minutes earlier—a point of contention in their sibling hierarchy debates.
